How we handle tile repair in Borth

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Borth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Borth. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Borth

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does tile repair cost in Borth?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
