Trusted tile repair in Lower Thorpe

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the whole UK

Tile repair at your home in Lower Thorpe

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

Do you need tile repair in Lower Thorpe?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lower Thorpe. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Thorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
