DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Tile repair at your home in Borth-y-Gest
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Borth-y-Gest
For anyone letting property in or around Borth-y-Gest, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common questions in Borth-y-Gest
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How much does tile repair cost in Borth-y-Gest?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used 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 pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
