Tile repair in Ilkeston without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done 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.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Ilkeston: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ilkeston. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilkeston
