Tile repair at your home in Brynrefail
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
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.
Questions from Brynrefail
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
