Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pentwyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different 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.
