Tile repair at your home in Blackthorpe
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Blackthorpe questions
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Blackthorpe?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Blackthorpe?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Blackthorpe
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
Repair or replace in Blackthorpe?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts 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.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
