About our tile repair in Thorney Hill
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.
