Tile repair in Thrumster, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Thrumster

Do you cover Thrumster?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thrumster and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Thrumster?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thrumster. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KW1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
