Repair or replace in Aber-arad?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Tile repair in Aber-arad, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Aber-arad
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Aber-arad is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What affects the price in Aber-arad
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Aber-arad, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
