Upper Thurnham: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Tile repair at your home in Upper Thurnham
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Thurnham
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Thurnham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
