Tile repair in Dolau

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Tile repair at your home in Dolau

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dolau. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When to call us in Dolau

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.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Dolau

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
