Tile repair in Rhiwbina without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Rhiwbina clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about tile repair in Rhiwbina

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?

We cover the entire UK, including Rhiwbina and the rest of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

When we would 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Rhiwbina

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rhiwbina, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
