Tile repair in Thornhill without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Thornhill
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Thornhill
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Thornhill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Thornhill
- Porcelain tiles

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thornhill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Thornhill
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
