Tile repair in Newnham without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bedford Borough. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about tile repair in Newnham
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Newnham included. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does tile repair cost in Newnham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
