How we handle tile repair in Pentrebach

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need tile repair in Pentrebach

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Questions from Pentrebach

Are there extra charges for Pentrebach?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does tile repair cost in Pentrebach?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CF48 postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Pentrebach

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
