Tile repair in Maentwrog

Tile repair in Maentwrog, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Maentwrog. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Maentwrog: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How much does tile repair cost in Maentwrog?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you work in Maentwrog?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Maentwrog from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Maentwrog

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Maentwrog. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LL41 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
