Trusted tile repair in Ffynnon Taf

Tile repair at your home in Ffynnon Taf

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Ffynnon Taf and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

10 questions to ask before you book

Ffynnon Taf questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Do you come to Ffynnon Taf?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ffynnon Taf and the rest of Cardiff. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ffynnon Taf

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ffynnon Taf use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • 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.

Materials we work on in Ffynnon Taf

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
