Tile repair in Thurlton, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Thurlton questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Thurlton and the rest of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Thurlton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
