How we handle tile repair in Trewern
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
What we’re called out for in Trewern
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions from Trewern
Do you work in Trewern?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Trewern from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Trewern?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get 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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Trewern. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
