Tile repair at your home in Thurston
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thurston. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Thurston
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Thurston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
