Tile repair in Penfilia, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Penfilia
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Landlord and trade work in Penfilia
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 to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
