Tile repair in Alvescot without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Alvescot
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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.

Do you need tile repair in Alvescot?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Alvescot, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
