Tile repair in Gabalfa, done in place
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. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Gabalfa
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
Repairing versus replacing in Gabalfa
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Gabalfa, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Gabalfa?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gabalfa for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gabalfa. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
