How we handle tile repair in Machynlleth

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Machynlleth and across Powys. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Machynlleth

What we are called out for in Machynlleth

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

Choosing a repair company

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Machynlleth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Machynlleth questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
