Tile repair in Seatle without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Seatle and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
