Tile repair in Bridge of Alford without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bridge of Alford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
