Tile repair in Southburn without replacing anything

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

More about tile repair
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Southburn

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
