DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our tile repair in Thorpe Green
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

- Whole walls of failing grout

FAQs for Thorpe Green
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Green
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Thorpe Green
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again

- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Green
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
