About our tile repair in Thornsett

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Thornsett

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thornsett. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thornsett. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 typically the cheaper route.
