Tile repair in Great Horwood, 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 tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Great Horwood
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole tiled area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Great Horwood?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
