Tile repair in Pen-y-fai, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bridgend. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Pen-y-fai
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Pen-y-fai
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pen-y-fai, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
