Tile repair at your home in Onllwyn

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Onllwyn. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Onllwyn

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

When to call us in Onllwyn

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
