About tile repair in Derby

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Pricing in Derby

Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Derby

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need tile repair

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is.

Questions from Derby

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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