Book tile repair in Orton

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Tile repair in Orton, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Orton. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Orton

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Orton customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Orton

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Orton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Orton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
