Tile repair at your home in Thorntree
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Thorntree
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thorntree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
When to call us in Thorntree
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
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 keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
