Tile repair in Ampthill, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ampthill. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ampthill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
