Tile repair in Aldham, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Aldham: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Aldham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Aldham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it isn’t loose.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Aldham
What we can’t put right

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
