Questions from Alswear
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you come to Alswear?
We do. We send a technician to Alswear for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How we handle tile repair in Alswear
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need tile repair in Alswear?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools

- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Alswear and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alswear
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
