Local tile repair for Orton: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our tile repair in Orton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Peterborough. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.

- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
