Tile repair in Lower Sketty without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Sketty

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Sketty

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lower Sketty. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Lower Sketty questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you need tile repair in Lower Sketty?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
