Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle tile repair in Albany
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
