Tile repair at your home in Garn-yr-erw
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Garn-yr-erw and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Garn-yr-erw
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Garn-yr-erw?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
Repairing versus replacing in Garn-yr-erw

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garn-yr-erw use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
