Tile repair in Alumwell, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

Repair or replace in Alumwell?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we’re called out for in Alumwell

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Alumwell questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
