Tile repair at your home in Efail Isaf
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Efail Isaf
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Efail Isaf?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Efail Isaf. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Efail Isaf, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

What else we do in Efail Isaf
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
