How we handle tile repair in Swansea
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

When to call us in Swansea
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

More services for Swansea
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Common questions in Swansea
Are there extra charges for Swansea?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
