About our tile repair in Pentrebane

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

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.

FAQs for Pentrebane

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Pentrebane, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
