Tile repair at your home in Tremorfa

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Tremorfa

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Tremorfa

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Tremorfa, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Tremorfa

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work in Tremorfa?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tremorfa from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
