Tile repair for Pen-y-groes homes

Tile repair at your home in Pen-y-groes

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-y-groes as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Pen-y-groes: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-groes

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
