TILING DERBY
From ceramic and porcelain to natural stone and mosaics, we have installed a diverse range of tiling projects with no two jobs being the same. Our attention to detail in all aspects of tiling: surface preparation, measurement, cutting, adhesive application, and grouting ensure a quality finish. Whether we are working on a small residential bathroom or a large commercial space, our skilled tilers create beautiful and functional environments.
Whilst many people including experience DIYers may think that they can 'stick tiles to a wall' achieving a proper results requires an understanding of different materials, adhesives, grouts, and sealants. Using and fitting products that are not suitable for specific environments, such as wet rooms or outdoor areas may result in a short term cosmetically pleasing finish, but one that can lead to a longer term breakages, fractures and an unsafe area.
Our tilers will assess the existing surface as tiling onto an uneven surface is not going to give an acceptable finish. Surface preparation is essential for a long-lasting tiling job. This is especially true for floor tiling so our tiler will level floors, repairing wall cracks, and apply primers or waterproof membranes where appropriate.
If you have already selected the tiles you want fitted our tilers will accurately measurement the areas in relating to your tiles and can advise on the number of tiles needed taking into account your desired layout, ensuring symmetry and alignment and the amount of tile which may need cutting around existing fixtures.
Our tilers will cut and shape tiles to fit around obstacles, such as pipes, corners, and electrical outlets. Using proper tools such as tile cutters, wet saws, and nippers they can achieve an exceptionally tight and neat finish around these obstacles.
Depending on the tiles you have chosen our tiler will determine the type and thickness of the adhesive applied (i.e. cement-based or epoxy) to prevent tiles from slipping or cracking. If you are mixing plane tiles with patterns they will discuss the layout with you to ensure these are laid at appropriate intervals to ensure you get the effect you are aiming for.
To finish things off our tilers will grout the gaps between the tiles to provide a finished look. The grout lines will be even and clean, before sealing to prevent staining and moisture penetration and maintain the aesthetics for a longer period of time, which is important in high moisture room such as bathrooms and kitchens. Don't be afraid to use a contracting grout colour to create a more feature driven finish! Our tilers attention to detail will ensure that patterns align and there is consistent spacing between tiles to achieve a flawless finish.
Whilst tiling can be a somewhat messy job our tilers will respect your property and follow strict safety guidelines too . However, if you do need to be in and around them whilst they are working they will agree a safety protocol with you to allow you to get on with your work whilst they get on with theirs.
Simply sent through an enquiry to start the ball rolling.

Tiling Installation & Fitting Derby
Our tilers have been fitting and installing tiles across Derbyshire for many years locations include Alfreton, Belper Allestree, Ilkeston and even as far as Chesterfield for larger remodelling projects. The attention to detail is what makes our tilers sought after. Whilst it can be very tempting to have a go at tiling yourself, if you get it wrong it can be quite messy and destructive to put right. Even if you do make a good job of it initially it will be the longevity of staying up and especially in moisture and water prone locations has it been properly grouted and sealed to ensure it stays in place for many years to come?
Our tilers have had years of experience and have all the proper tools and techniques to ensure a perfect fit every time. The key to this comes down to preparation. Whether floor or wall tiling getting the surface ready for tiling is key. For floors this will mean assessing the stability of the existing subfloor. If there is too much movement this will increase the likelihood of tile or grout cracking. This may be alleviated by screeding the floor to create extra stability but if this course of action is outside of your budget we can look at alternative such as luxury floor tiles which will be able to cope with more subbase movement than ceramic tiles. Minor defects in a robust subfloor can be accounted for by subtle adjustments in the adhesive levels ensuring perfectly aligned tiles which allows for neat and tidy grouting.
Depending on whether you chose ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, LVT or stone tiles we know which adhesives and grouts to use to ensure a perfect tile fit every time. With our detailed tile cutting equipment we can maximise the amount of tile showing and minimise the amount of grout used around awkward pipes and architraves. Whilst this will take a little longer it is this attention to detail and pride in our work makes our tilers sight after. High quality tiling should last for many years and elevate your property, done bady it can have the opposite effect.

commercial TILERS DERBY
At Derbyshire Tiling Specialists we also undertake commercial tiling work as well as residential. Whilst the application of the tiles themselves will be very similar the set up and approach will differ. The primary difference between the two lies in the scale and complexity of their projects. Our commercial tilers typically work on large-scale venues such as offices, schools, hotels and other multiple occupancy building such as student accommodation. These environments will typically benefit from using robust, durable materials for high foot traffic, high use and knocks and bumps. Durability will often have a slightly higher priority over aesthetics. Large format tiles and those design for heavy use are often specified which then leads to a more complex operation to get the tiles to the application site, especially if tiling is across multiple floors.
In terms of workflow, commercial tiling projects often follow tighter schedules due to other trades being on the site at the same time. Effective collaboration is key to coordinate effectively with other trades, such as electricians and plumbers. Whilst we do this a lot within the Derbyshire Specialists Group for residential projects larger commercial projects may have larger teams of other trades from outside the group too.
Safety regulations also play a crucial role in commercial tiling, where compliance with building codes and standards is mandatory. Residential projects, although still requiring adherence to safety guidelines, generally involve less stringent requirements. Our experienced tilers always carry out there work to the highest safety standards.
Kitchen Tiling
Tiling plays a major part in kitchen design, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Various types of tiles are typically used in kitchen renovations for across floors, walls, and splashback areas, each chosen for its durability, practicality and to help make your kitchen the statement room it is is some many households. It is often referred to as the hub of the home and is typically the most used by most people in a household.
For flooring, ceramic and porcelain tiles are popular due to their resilience and resistance to moisture, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and for effectiveness with underfloor heating. Their range of designs, including wood-look and stone finishes, allows homeowners to achieve the desired aesthetic while ensuring practicality.
Walls may feature ceramic, glass, or natural stone tiles, providing a beautiful backdrop while adding texture and colour. Sections of walls can utilise different tiles to emphasise different areas.
Tiled splashbacks are often adorned with a different set of colourful mosaic or decorative tiles, serving as both a protective barrier and a design element. These tiles can withstand heat and moisture, making them perfect for areas behind sinks and stoves. If you are not sure of what to select or how 'varied' you can mix and match you tiles simply get in touch with us today to discuss your kitchen tiling design ideas.
Bathroom Tiling Services Across Derby
Wet room and bathroom tiling is one of the main considerations as part of a bathroom design and renovation, as it not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also provides practical benefits.
We can install various materials and various sizes, with as ceramic, and porcelain being the most popular. Whilst mosaic tiling is still popular this has been overtaken buy large size tiling for bathrooms. With larger tiles it means less tiles, which leads to less grout. It is commonly known that over time it will be the grout which will attract direct which will become noticeable especially if a light or white grout is selected. The other growing alternative is to install shower panels. Whilst shower panels can be installed across all bathroom walls we still find that these are mainly fitted around the shower itself, whilst the rest of the bathroom is tiled. This often provides a striking feature area for the shower due to the contrast between the two wall coverings.
Floor Tiler Derby
We provide a comprehensive floor tiling service which includes floor levelling which is critical for floor tiles. Firstly if tiles are protruding they will create a trip hazard and if they are not fix sitting flat there are a much great chance that a floor tile gets cracked or broken.
Typically floor tiles will be much larger than wall tiles and some will be much thicker to cater for heavy footfall but these heavy duty floor tiles are mostly for commercial applications.
In the home, floor tiling designs even allow your floor to look like another material such as wood with many floor tile designs made to look like wooden planks and also formed in long plank like shapes rather than squares or rectangles. Often these plank floor tiles are used as an alternative to a skirting board with one tile fitted to the wall to find out more about this option simply discuss these with our tiler.
Tile Removal & Preparation
One of the most important aspect of tiling is surface preparation. It is crucial that the tile adhesive sticks to the substrate surface properly, possibly more so that the tile sticking to the adhesive - as any corrective work will be much more difficult.
For floor tiles a flat floor is critical to minimise the chance of tiles or grout cracking. In older properties when a modern extension has been added this can often involve two different types of sub base - concrete and wooden floorboards. Whilst the concrete is a great surface to tile on the floorboards need to be firmly fixed into place before any tiling can begin.
If renovating a bathroom it is likely that some, or all of the walls will be tiled. If so, we will remove them using our special purpose tools, which will provide dust-free tile removal. Minimising the dirt created in the process. Depending on the stud of the walls following tile removal, the walls may need to be re-skimmed or reboarded to provide an suitable flat surface for re-tiling. Whichever method is required, our tiling contractors will be able to prepare the wall surface appropriately to ensure a flush and waterproof finish.
Tile & Grout Repairs
Repairing floor and wall tiles covers issues like cracks, chips, and loose tiles. Often, these problems arise from various causes, including temperature changes, moisture infiltration, poor installation, or heavy impacts. Depending on the nature of the damage it can affect the aesthetics, functional and even safety of your space.
If a tile needs replacing hopefully you will have a few spares left over from the initial installation for a perfect match. We would remove the offending tiles along with thoroughly removing all the old adhesive and grout before resetting. This is the same approach for replacing a loose tile too.
Chipped tiles, if only a small chip may be fixed with a specialised fillers designed to match the tile colour. For deeper chips, the tile can also be replaced.
If you have cracks and gaps in a high moisture room such as a bathroom it is important to have your tiles repaired as soon as possible to prevent further water damage to your walls and floors.
Grout Cleaning & Sealing
Grout cleaning and sealing provide a low cost way of revitalising tiled floor and walls. In kitchens - especially the splashbacks behind hobs light coloured grout can be stained by food splashes, especially if strong coloured spices are used such as tumeric or chilli powder these can provide an unsightly contrast against a light grout. This may lead to a more frequent cleaning to keep your grout looking good. To minimise this there are a couple of options:
- Regrout: and select a darker colour
- Regrout using an epoxy grout - this is an expensive stain resistant, non-porous option and will eliminate the need for frequent cleaning and resealing. Splashes can simply be wiped off.
In bathrooms where grout is subjected to much higher moisture levels discolouration and dirt build up is much quicker and often more extreme. A combination of soap, dirt limescale and hair colouring products can make their mark.
Depending on the level of dirt we may use a combination of solutions and steam to get the grout looking good again. One clean we apply professional grade sealant which should protect your grout for longer.
Regardless of whether the tiles themselves are ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone we can apply the same cleaning and resealing techniques. It's a much more affordable option compared to a full retile or replacement with shower boards.
Tile Restoration & Deep Cleaning
We also offer a tile restoration and cleaning service too. The performance that can be achieved will largely depend on the type of tiles you have, their current state and what final results you would be hoping for.
Our tilers in Derby can help restore you tiles in a variety of ways but before any restoration takes place tiles must be cleaned thoroughly to enable us to see exactly what state they are in and what restoration will be possible. Our knowledge of tiles means we will use the appropriate cleaning methods based on the tile type. The different porosity of the tile will detering it cleaning method and restoration options.
Popular areas for our tile restoration work are high traffic rooms such as hallways, kitchens and bathrooms.
If excessive discolouration has occurred, depending on the tile type, and whether we are dealing with floor or wall tiles we may be able to grind town the surface layer and then repolish another option for wall tiles is painting. This is growing in popularity as over it is a lower cost option than replacing to dramatically change the appearance of a tiled wall. However, other than having different colour in different sections this will mean patterns on a single tile will not be possible.
For natural floor tiles a major part of their restoration will be the resealing, which can provide a very noticeable transformation. If you are thinking of restoring your tiles call in the professionals, we know our tiles and know what cleaning and sealing is suitable to ensure long term results.

Feature Wall Tiling
Feature wall tiling has emerged as a prominent trend in interior design, particularly in derby, where homeowners are looking to add character, style and textures to their living spaces. This design technique involves using decorative tiles to create a striking focal point, often in living rooms typically on one wall only or even part of a wall such as a chimney breast or media wall. Popular tile types include ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone often in a 'brick style' with each offering various textures, colours, and finishes.
The growing popularity of feature wall tiling in Derby can be attributed to the increasing desire for personalisation and the influence of social media platforms that showcase innovative design ideas. A feature wall utilising tiling is low maintenance especially useful as a background against candles which deposit soot whilst burning. Wiping down tile compared to a painted or wall papered surface is quick an simple. contemporary tiles make feature walls an attractive choice for many, blending aesthetic appeal with practicality in the home environment.
