Tile repair for Thorley homes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Tile repair in Thorley without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorley as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

Thorley questions

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hertfordshire.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
