How we handle tile repair in Rhayader
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rhayader and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Rhayader. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rhayader, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Rhayader
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 usually cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
