Tile repair in Thurne

Tile repair in Thurne without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thurne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Damaged tile edges

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Thurne: your questions answered

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What areas do you cover?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thurne. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurne

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
