Tile repair in Rhydowen without replacing anything
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 marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

What affects the price in Rhydowen
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rhydowen. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Rhydowen and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Rhydowen, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhydowen use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Rhydowen
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Rhydowen included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.
