Tile repair in Thurlby without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Thurlby questions
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Thurlby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thurlby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

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

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire tiled area
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
