FAQs for Drefach

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Carmarthenshire.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

How we handle tile repair in Drefach

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Drefach and across Carmarthenshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Drefach

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

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.

Common problems we fix in Drefach

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Drefach?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Same prices wherever you are

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before you book.
