Tile repair at your home in Llancaiach
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Llancaiach
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Llancaiach, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Merthyr Tydfil and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Llancaiach
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
