Tile repair near Gerlan

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle tile repair in Gerlan

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Gerlan

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

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

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Gerlan questions

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather 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.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Gwynedd?

Everywhere in the UK, Gerlan included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gerlan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gerlan

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
