About our tile repair in Silstwn

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Silstwn

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Silstwn

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Do you come to Silstwn?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Silstwn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
