Trusted tile repair in Cwm-ffrwd-oer

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle tile repair in Cwm-ffrwd-oer

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Cwm-ffrwd-oer

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you work in Cwm-ffrwd-oer?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Cwm-ffrwd-oer from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cwm-ffrwd-oer. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
