How we handle tile repair in Thelnetham
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Thelnetham questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thelnetham. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 normally the cheaper route.
