Tile repair in Pwll-mawr without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pwll-mawr
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pwll-mawr use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pwll-mawr. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
