How we handle tile repair in Ruabon
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ruabon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole tiled area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
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’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Ruabon: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the whole of Wrexham?
All of Wrexham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL14 postcode.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
What else we do in Ruabon
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
