How we handle tile repair in Alphington

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Alphington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Alphington. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Alphington

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are there extra charges for Alphington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Alphington?

We do. We send a technician to Alphington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alphington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Alphington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Alphington

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
