Repairing versus replacing in Newtown
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Tile repair at your home in Newtown
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Newtown
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you work in Newtown?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newtown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Newtown?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS18 postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
