About our tile repair in Ynys-fach

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Ynys-fach

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ynys-fach use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Your questions about tile repair in Ynys-fach

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does tile repair cost in Ynys-fach?

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
