The hearth finish, base and support
A hearth crack that returns after each repair
If a crack comes back in the same place after a repair, the surface was not the problem. Something beneath it is still moving, whether the base, the support or the floor structure around it.
Tell us about each earlier repair and how long it lasted. We look for the reason the crack keeps returning before suggesting anything. Where the cause cannot be found from the surface, we explain what opening a section would reveal. Another surface patch is not offered as a lasting fix.
A hearth that has dropped or tilted
A hearth that slopes toward the room, sits lower than it did or has pulled away from the fireplace face has moved on its support. Gaps at the back edge and cracks at the corners often come with it.
Movement like this is a support problem first. We check how the hearth is carried and whether the movement is continuing. Relaying the surface without dealing with the support will not hold. The estimate explains the support repair and the surface repair as separate items, in the order they must happen.
What a hearth repair estimate names
A written estimate for hearth work names the hearth type, the finish, the area to be repaired and the base or support work beneath it. It lists matching options where the finish is hard to match.
It also covers protection of the surrounding floor, cleanup, setting times and any boundary with firebox, surround or floor work. Each item has its own price, so you can approve the hearth repair in full or in parts. The estimate is free and carries no obligation.
What the free inspection covers for a hearth
The free inspection looks at the hearth's size against the opening, its surface, joints, edges and the junction with the firebox. We tap for hollow areas and check for dips and gaps. We also look at the edge where the hearth meets the floor and at anything laid over the extension.
For factory-built units we also check the manual's hearth requirements. We explain the findings before we leave, including what could not be seen. There is no charge and no obligation to book the repair. The free written estimate follows, with each item priced on its own line.

What people ask about cracked hearths
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.
Can the fireplace be used before the hearth is repaired?
Sometimes. A cracked tile on a sound base rarely stops fires. Missing pieces, loose edges near the opening or gaps into a void below should stop them. We give you a direct answer on the visit and explain the reason.
What does the written record say after a hearth repair?
It notes what was replaced on the surface, the work carried out beneath it, the materials used and their source, and any setting time still running. It also lists what we saw but did not touch.
