Tile repair in Tongwynlais, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Tongwynlais

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Tongwynlais included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Are there extra charges for Tongwynlais?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cardiff.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Tongwynlais?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CF15 postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tongwynlais

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tongwynlais as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tongwynlais. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Tongwynlais get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need tile repair in Tongwynlais?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
