Tile repair in Thurlaston without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

FAQs for Thurlaston
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
