Tile repair at your home in Alstonefield
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Alstonefield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Alstonefield questions
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
