Repairing versus replacing in Orton Waterville

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Orton Waterville customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Tile repair in Orton Waterville, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Orton Waterville

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Orton Waterville

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in Orton Waterville

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. 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 morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
