Tile repair in Thakeham, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thakeham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about tile repair in Thakeham
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What else we do in Thakeham
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thakeham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Thakeham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
