Thorpe by Water questions
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Thorpe by Water?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Thorpe by Water and the rest of Rutland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What a repair can’t fix

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
