Common questions in Cyfarthfa

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Do you come to Cyfarthfa?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cyfarthfa for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Tile repair in Cyfarthfa, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Cyfarthfa

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cyfarthfa

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Cyfarthfa

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
