Tile repair at your home in Cardington
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Cardington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Cardington and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you come to Cardington?
We do. Technicians travel to Cardington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repairing versus replacing in Cardington

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Cardington
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
