How we handle tile repair in Cilmery
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cilmery and across Powys. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cilmery. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Cilmery
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Cilmery?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need tile repair in Cilmery?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
