Tile repair in Sandford Orcas without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Sandford Orcas
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Sandford Orcas: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sandford Orcas. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
