How we handle tile repair in Burnham Thorpe
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

FAQs for Burnham Thorpe
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Burnham Thorpe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burnham Thorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Burnham Thorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in Burnham Thorpe
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
