Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leicestershire.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Barkby Thorpe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Tile repair in Barkby Thorpe, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
