Tile repair at your home in Wig-fach
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Wig-fach
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Wig-fach
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Wig-fach?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
