Tile repair in Ystrad, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ystrad. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Ystrad

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Ystrad?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ystrad for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF41 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

  • Damaged tile edges

Landlord and trade work in Ystrad

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ystrad as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
