About our tile repair in The Herberts

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Herberts and across the Vale of Glamorgan. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Herberts

For anyone letting property in or around The Herberts, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in The Herberts

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to The Herberts. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about tile repair in The Herberts

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover The Herberts?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to The Herberts from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Repair or replace in The Herberts?
