Tile repair in Trehafren without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Trehafren: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Trehafren?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY16 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Powys.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
