Common questions in Penylan

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Penylan?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Tile repair at your home in Penylan

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 normally cheaper.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Penylan. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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