Tile repair in Tŷ-rhiw, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Tŷ-rhiw
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
