Hearth repair that starts with the cause

Replacing damaged hearth bricks

A chipped or cracked hearth brick can usually be cut out and replaced without disturbing its neighboring units. The joints around it are removed, the brick broken out and the bed cleaned before a new unit is set.

Matching size, color and texture takes some searching with older brick. We discuss the likely match before starting. Where a brick has cracked because the base below moved, we deal with the base first, so the new brick does not crack along the same line.

Letting a repaired hearth set before use

Mortars, adhesives and grouts need time to set before they take heat or weight. The product directions decide how long, and it varies between materials.

We tell you when the hearth can be walked on, when heavy items can go back and when fires can resume. If a curing step is needed, the written record of the work notes it. Resuming fires too early can crack fresh joints, so the wait is part of the repair. Heavy furniture and rugs go back only once the hearth can take the load.

Hearth edges and small children

Hearth corners and raised edges sit at the height of small children. Chipped edges and loose corners can cut or pinch. Loose pieces at floor level are also easy for small hands to pull at.

If you have young children at home, mention it. We look closely at the edges and suggest how the repaired edge can be formed so it is sound and smooth. Edge guards are a household choice; our part is making sure the edge beneath them is solid. We also check that no gap at the edge could trap fingers once the repair is finished.

Hearth checks on a maintenance visit

A fireplace maintenance visit looks at the hearth along with the rest of the fireplace. We tap across the surface, check the edges and the joint with the firebox floor, and look for anything laid over the extension.

Small items found early, such as a loose edge tile or a failing grout line, are simpler to put right than a hearth that has moved. If we find something, it is written up as a separate item with its own price, and nothing is done without your approval. Tell us when you book if the hearth is your main concern.

Hearth repair questions, answered plainly

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.

Can you repair a marble hearth that has cracked?

Often. We check whether the piece rests evenly and whether the crack is stable. A replacement needs a match in color and veining, which can take time to find. For a factory-built unit, the layers under the marble must still meet the manual.
