FAQs for Abercrave

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How we handle tile repair in Abercrave

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abercrave as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Powys and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Abercrave, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
