About our tile repair in Caereithin
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Caereithin
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Caereithin.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Caereithin included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
