DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Tile repair in Machen, done in place
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. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Machen
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
