Tile repair at your home in Scarborough
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Scarborough and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.

What affects the price in Scarborough
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Scarborough. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

FAQs for Scarborough
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
