Trusted tile repair in Stewartby

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stewartby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Tile repair in Stewartby without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. 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, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bedford Borough. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Stewartby

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Stewartby

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Stewartby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
