All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thirlby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
