Tile repair in Thurstonfield

How we handle tile repair in Thurstonfield

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about tile repair in Thurstonfield

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

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 give you a fixed price.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
