Trusted tile repair in Pontlliw

Tile repair in Pontlliw without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pontlliw

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pontlliw as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Pontlliw: your questions answered

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for Pontlliw?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.
