Tile repair in Hirwaun

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Tile repair in Hirwaun without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hirwaun

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hirwaun as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price tile repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hirwaun. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Hirwaun, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Hirwaun

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

Can you quote from photos?

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Do you need tile repair in Hirwaun?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
