Tile repair in Thoresby without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Repair or replace in Thoresby?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
