The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

About our tile repair in Alverstoke
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Alverstoke: your questions answered
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alverstoke as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Alverstoke. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
