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 will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
About our tile repair in Ferndale
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Ferndale
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does tile repair cost in Ferndale?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ferndale, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
