We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

About our tile repair in Alverdiscott

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Alverdiscott

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Alverdiscott

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
