Tile repair at your home in Thornes
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornes as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
