Advice
Tile repair in Alt without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alt as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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 typically cheaper.
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.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alt use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Alt. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
