How we handle tile repair in High Throston
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we are called out for in High Throston
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
