How we handle tile repair in Thorne

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Thorne questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover the entire of Doncaster?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Thorne. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Thorne

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
