Tile repair in Aberthin

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we handle tile repair in Aberthin

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Vale of Glamorgan. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures, as it can add time.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Aberthin questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?

We cover the entire UK, including Aberthin and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
