Tile repair in Thorn, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in Thorn
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Thorn
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
