About our tile repair in Thorntonhall

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Thorntonhall, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Thorntonhall

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorntonhall. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need tile repair in Thorntonhall

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Thorntonhall: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Thorntonhall?

We do. Technicians travel to Thorntonhall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 Thorntonhall

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price
