How we handle tile repair in Thruscross

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thruscross as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Thruscross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Thruscross?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

FAQs for Thruscross

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thruscross, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
