About our tile repair in Oakwood
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oakwood as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Oakwood
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakwood
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
