Tile repair in Fforestfach without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fforestfach. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
FAQs for Fforestfach
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
