Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Tile repair in Capel Llanilltern without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Capel Llanilltern: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
