About our tile repair in Trethowel
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Trethowel
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PL25 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need tile repair in Trethowel?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
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.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Trethowel
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
