Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Most clients in Dowlais get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Dowlais
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Questions from Dowlais
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CF48 postcode.
