Tile repair at your home in Pen-y-cae

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Pen-y-cae and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Pen-y-cae

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Pen-y-cae

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Neath Port Talbot. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally 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 leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
