Tile repair in Hernston, done in place
We repair the tile in place, 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. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bridgend. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Hernston
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
