How we handle tile repair in Alciston
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. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Alciston and across East Sussex. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Alciston: your questions answered
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, so Alciston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
