Tile repair in Alt Hill without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Tameside. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Alt Hill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Alt Hill
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
