How we handle tile repair in Llanrug

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Llanrug and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Llanrug

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Advice

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
