How we handle tile repair in Thorpe Bay

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to compare quotes

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorpe Bay. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Bay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Most customers in Thorpe Bay get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Related advice

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
