Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Tile repair at your home in Thornby

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Thornby

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do 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 booking.

Questions from Thornby

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How much does tile repair cost in Thornby?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN6 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Thornby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thornby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
