How we handle tile repair in Thornton

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Thornton

Do you come to Thornton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thornton and the rest of Liverpool. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What affects the price in Thornton

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
