Tile repair in Thame, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thame. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Thame questions
How much does tile repair cost in Thame?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your OX9 postcode.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
