Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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.

About our tile repair in Tiger Bay
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Tiger Bay and across Cardiff. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Tiger Bay
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Your questions about tile repair in Tiger Bay
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tiger Bay included. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Tiger Bay?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it is not loose.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tiger Bay.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
