Tile repair for Orton homes

Tile repair in Orton, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Orton as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Orton

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Orton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Orton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
