Tile repair in Thorpe on the Hill, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

In a village like Thorpe on the Hill, floors in older homes may be original, which are worth keeping. We repair rather than replace.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. In an older home in a village like Thorpe on the Hill, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

What we’re called out for in Thorpe on the Hill

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Thorpe on the Hill: your questions answered

Can you restore the original tiles in an older house in Thorpe on the Hill?

In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.

Do you cover villages like Thorpe on the Hill?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, at no extra charge.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it is not loose.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
