How we handle tile repair in Ystalyfera
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Ystalyfera get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
