How we handle tile repair in Alverthorpe
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Alverthorpe
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
FAQs for Alverthorpe
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Alverthorpe?
We do. Technicians travel to Alverthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Alverthorpe
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
