Tile repair in Pillgwenlly, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Pillgwenlly and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pillgwenlly use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Pillgwenlly, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
