Do you need tile repair in Apperknowle?
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Apperknowle. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Apperknowle
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Apperknowle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
What we work on
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
