Tile repair at your home in Thornthwaite
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

About tile repair
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

- 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Common questions in Thornthwaite

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How soon can you come?

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
