Tile Repair for Alberbury homes
Our repair technicians come to Alberbury for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Alberbury, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Tile repair in Alberbury, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Alberbury: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
