TILING SERVICES
DERBY TILER
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.

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 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 Tiling
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 swill 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 tilling 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.

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.
Tile Repairs & Replacement
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.
Types of Tiles
With so many tile options if difficult to know where to start when trying to select a suitable tile for a particular project as moisture and use of the room should also impact your decision as well as the colours and designs from an aesthetic perspective.
Here are some of the more common types of tiles with more information on our types of tiles page.
Ceramic tiles are one of the most common types of tiles used in the UK. They are versatile, affordable, and available in a wide range of colours followed by
Porcelain tiles.
