Tile repair in Fforest

How we handle tile repair in Fforest

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Fforest

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Fforest?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Fforest from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Fforest?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover the entire of Swansea?

Everywhere in the UK, Fforest included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When to call us in Fforest

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.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fforest, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fforest

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
