Tiling & Grouting FAQs
What types of tiling work can a handyman do?
A handyman can handle most small to medium tiling jobs including replacing cracked tiles, re-grouting old joints, sealing surfaces, and installing new tiles in kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. They can also repair damaged adhesive or clean mouldy grout to restore your tiles’ original look. For larger projects such as full floor installations, a tiling specialist can be arranged through the same platform for continuity.
Can a handyman replace single damaged tiles?
Yes. Replacing a single broken or chipped tile is a common request. The handyman removes the damaged piece carefully, matches the replacement tile, and regrouts it so that the repair blends seamlessly. This is a fast, low-cost way to refresh tiled surfaces without full replacement.
How much does tiling or re-grouting cost?
Small patch jobs start from around £70, while full re-grouting typically costs £10 – £15 per square metre depending on the area and tile type. Every job is priced upfront to ensure total transparency before any work begins.
How long does re-grouting take?
Minor areas can often be completed within a few hours. Larger kitchens or bathrooms may take one to two days including drying and sealing. A handyman will always confirm timing and recommend when the area can be used again safely.
Can you fix loose or hollow tiles?
Yes. Loose tiles can often be repaired by removing them carefully, cleaning the surface, reapplying adhesive, and resetting them in place. This prevents future cracking and water damage.
Do you seal tiles after installation?
Most handymen seal grout and natural stone surfaces to protect against stains and moisture. This helps extend the life of the installation and keeps it easier to clean.
Are tiling jobs insured and guaranteed?
All tiling and grouting work is carried out by insured professionals and backed by Hey Alfie’s £1,000 guarantee. You can book confidently knowing both the workmanship and your home are protected.
