Tile repair in Thorley Street

How we handle tile repair in Thorley Street

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’ll tell you. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorley Street and across Hertfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Thorley Street: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorley Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Thorley Street clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
