A method of repairing a wind turbine concrete foundation in a wind turbine installation, that wind turbine installation including a wind turbine tower mounted on the foundation at a tower flange. The foundation comprises an anchor cage embedded within a central pedestal, wherein the anchor cage comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced tensioned anchoring rods to which the tower flange is attached. The method comprises identifying at least one first section of the pedestal which requires replacement; de-tensioning anchoring rods located within the first section; excavating the first section to form a cavity, wherein that cavity extends at least partially under the tower flange; filling the cavity with a filler material; allowing the filler material cure until a predetermined strength of the filler material is achieved; and re-tensioning the de-tensioned anchoring rods located in the first section.
