How we handle tile repair in St Albans

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in St Albans

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from St Albans

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover St Albans?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to St Albans and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including St Albans and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in St Albans

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

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.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
