Tile repair in Thornton without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Thornton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Thornton?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Other services in Thornton
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Thornton
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does tile repair cost in Thornton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
