Your questions about tile repair in York
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover York?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to York and the rest of York. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across York.
Do you cover the whole of York?
All of York, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
About our tile repair in York
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around York, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we are called out for in York
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
