Tile repair in Alwalton

Alwalton questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you come to Alwalton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alwalton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Alwalton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How we handle tile repair in Alwalton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
