Tile repair in Great Orton without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Great Orton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
FAQs for Great Orton
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it is not loose.
Do you come to Great Orton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Orton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much does tile repair cost in Great Orton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
