Tile repair in Blackthorn, done in place

We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blackthorn and across Oxfordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Blackthorn. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Blackthorn
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Blackthorn?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Blackthorn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Blackthorn
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
