How we handle tile repair in Forgeside

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Forgeside

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Forgeside. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Forgeside questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
