Tile repair for Thorpe Acre homes

Tile repair in Thorpe Acre, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Thorpe Acre, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe Acre use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Thorpe Acre

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thorpe Acre. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
