About our tile repair in Pear Tree
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Pear Tree?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- 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 ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Pear Tree, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Pear Tree
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Derby?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
