About our tile repair in Tan-y-foel
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Tan-y-foel
What happens next?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tan-y-foel. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gwynedd and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
