About our tile repair in Sinfin
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Sinfin
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Sinfin?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What we’re called out for in Sinfin
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Look out for these signs:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Before you book anyone

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About Sinfin
Sinfin is about 2 miles south of Derby, in Derby. Across the DE24 area, we come to you. We cover all 31 towns and villages in Derby, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Sinfin to Birmingham (about 33 miles away).
Jobs in DE24 and DE23 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets such as Islay Road, Sinfin Lane and Redwood Road, all of which we cover. Neighbouring places we cover include Sunny Hill (1 mile north-west), Normanton (1 mile north), Allenton (2 miles east), Shelton Lock (2 miles east) and Barrow upon Trent (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oakwood (5 miles north-east), Cathedral Quarter (3 miles north), Spondon (4 miles north-east), New Zealand (3 miles north), Allestree (5 miles north) and Alvaston (3 miles east).
Near you in Sinfin
Typical jobs here are in homes near Cottons Farm Primary Academy, Saint Stephen's Parish Church and The Ferrers Arms, among other places. The nearest railway station is Peartree station, about 1.2 miles north-east of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Derbion (2.6 miles north) and National Sikh Heritage Centre & Holocaust Museum (1.5 miles north-east).
For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Sinfin

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
