Hearth finishes in tile, brick and stone
The board beneath a tiled hearth
Tiled hearths usually sit on a base, and factory-built fireplace manuals often name the board to use, such as cement board of a stated build-up. That base carries the tile and, in some listings, provides insulation too.
When tiles crack in lines or lift in patches, the base may have moved or broken down. Laying new tile over a failed base repeats the failure. We check the base before retiling and include its repair or replacement where needed, with the material named on the estimate.
Opening a small section to check the support
Sometimes the surest way to learn why a hearth keeps cracking is to lift part of it. Taking up a few tiles or a small area of brick shows the bed, the base and sometimes the support itself.
We choose the spot that will tell us the most with the least disturbance. The opening is protected while it is open and made good afterwards, or folded into the repair if you go ahead. The cost of that step is shown on its own line before we begin.
The written record of hearth work
When the hearth is finished, you receive a written record of the work. It notes what was replaced on the surface, what was done to the base or support, and the materials used, including any tile or stone source.
It also lists setting times still running and anything we saw but did not touch. Keep it with your fireplace papers. If more tile is needed later, the record helps find the same material, and it shows exactly what the workmanship warranty covers.
Workmanship warranty on the hearth repair
Our workmanship warranty covers the hearth repair we carry out: the surface we laid or reset and the base work we did. It does not stretch to parts of the hearth or floor we did not touch, or to damage from heavy impacts afterwards.
We explain those terms when the job is done. Where the repair left an older section in place by agreement, the record says so, which keeps any later question simple to answer. File the written record of the work beside the fireplace manual, and the covered work stays easy to point to.

Hearth support, size and finish explained
Why does the crack in my hearth keep coming back?
Something beneath the surface is still moving, whether the bed, the base, the support or the floor around it. A new tile or fresh grout over that movement copies the crack. We look for the cause and explain how it could be confirmed.
Does hearth repair include the tile on the fireplace surround?
Not unless you ask for it. Surround tile sits on a different surface and fails for different reasons, so we price it separately. You can approve the hearth, the surround or both, and each keeps its own price.
Are hairline cracks in a concrete hearth a concern?
Fine shrinkage cracks are common in concrete and are often stable. Cracks that widen, step or come with a loose or dropped edge are different, and they point to the base or support. We check which kind you have before suggesting any work.
