Tile repair in Astmoor without replacing anything
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 technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Astmoor
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Astmoor?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Astmoor. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it is not loose.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Astmoor. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire tiled area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
