Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Tile repair in Tal-y-bont, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
FAQs for Tal-y-bont
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Gwynedd?
The whole UK, including all of Gwynedd. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
