About our tile repair in Glais

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’ll tell you. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common problems we fix in Glais

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Glais

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover the whole of Swansea?

We cover the entire UK, including Glais and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glais

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Glais, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Glais

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glais. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Glais

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
