Looking for professional tilers in Derby who can transform your space with quality craftsmanship? You’ve come to the right place.
We’re a dedicated team of experienced tilers serving Derby and surrounding areas, committed to bringing your vision to life with precision and care.
Whether you need kitchen splashbacks, bathroom walls, commercial floors, or decorative features, we’ve got the skills and knowledge to deliver outstanding results every time.
Kitchen Tiling

Your kitchen deserves more than just functional surfaces – it deserves style that makes a statement while standing up to daily wear and tear. Kitchen tiling isn’t just about practicality (though that’s important too). It’s about creating a space that reflects your personality while handling the splashes, spills, and heat that come with cooking.
We’ve seen too many DIY kitchen tiling jobs gone wrong – uneven surfaces, poor grouting, and tiles that pop off within months. One customer called us after attempting to tile their own splashback. “I thought it would be simple,” they told us, “but three YouTube tutorials later, I realized I was in over my head.”
When we handle your kitchen tiling in Derby, we ensure perfectly level surfaces for a professional finish, precise cuts around outlets and corners, and proper sealing to prevent moisture damage. Our grout lines stay clean and intact for years, and we offer expert advice on the best tiles for your specific kitchen needs. Remember that time we transformed a tired 80s kitchen with simple metro tiles and dark grout? The owner couldn’t believe it was the same room. Kitchen tiling can completely change the feel of your space, and it doesn’t always require a complete renovation.
Bathroom Tiling

Bathroom tiling presents unique challenges – moisture, temperature changes, and the need for watertight installations. Many Derby homeowners come to us frustrated after bathroom tiles start showing signs of water damage behind them. Usually, it’s because the proper waterproofing wasn’t done first.
We treat every bathroom tiling job with the respect it deserves, because we know what’s at stake. With bathroom tiling, there’s so much opportunity for creativity – from classic white subway tiles to bold geometric patterns.
One Derby family wanted something special for their kids’ bathroom. We created a gradient of blues and greens in the shower area that mimicked the ocean. The children love it, and it’s properly sealed so it will look great for years. Our bathroom tiling service includes complete waterproofing before any tiles go up, proper preparation of all surfaces, and expert installation of complex patterns. We pay special attention to shower areas and wet zones, and provide advice on low-maintenance options that still look stunning.
Bathroom tiling isn’t just about making your space look good today – it’s about creating a watertight, durable solution that continues to perform year after year. We’ve seen too many bathrooms in Derby that need complete renovation just a few years after tiling because corners were cut during installation.
Floor Tiling

Floor tiling requires a special touch – it needs to be level, durable, and installed with the proper substrate to prevent cracking and lifting.
We’ve had calls from numerous Derby homeowners with tiles that rock or crack when walked on. Almost always, the problem traces back to improper floor preparation. Your floor tiles face more abuse than any other surface in your home. They need to stand up to foot traffic, furniture, dropped items, and cleaning. The secret to perfect floor tiling isn’t just in laying the tiles – it’s in what happens before the first tile ever touches your floor.
We recently completed a floor tiling project for a Derby family with three dogs. They chose porcelain tiles that mimic wood but offer much better scratch resistance and durability. “We wish we’d done this years ago,” they told us after seeing how well the new floor handled their energetic pets.
Our floor tiling expertise covers thorough assessment of your subfloor, proper leveling and preparation, and installation of appropriate underlay or substrate. We’re experts at handling transitions between rooms and applying sealing and finishing appropriate to the tile type. Floor tiling can completely transform your Derby home, adding value and durability while creating a stunning base for your interior design. Whether you’re looking for practical porcelain, luxury marble, or budget-friendly ceramic, we know how to install it properly so it lasts.
Commercial Tiling
Commercial tiling in Derby demands special consideration for high traffic, safety regulations, and durability requirements.
We’ve worked with restaurants, shops, offices, and public buildings throughout Derby to create tiling solutions that stand the test of time and heavy use. One local cafĂ© called us after their DIY floor started showing serious wear after just six months. The tiles they chose weren’t rated for commercial use, and the installation didn’t account for the constant foot traffic. Commercial tiling isn’t just about durability – it’s about creating spaces that represent your brand while meeting practical needs.
For commercial clients in Derby, we provide consultation on appropriate tile types for your specific usage, anti-slip options for wet areas, and quick installation with minimal business disruption. All our work complies with relevant safety standards, and we offer maintenance plans to keep your tiling looking professional.
We recently completed a project for a Derby boutique that wanted something unique. We created a geometric pattern using three complementary tile colors that drew customers in and became part of their brand identity. Commercial tiling requires specialized knowledge that residential tilers often lack. Our team brings years of commercial experience to every business project in Derby.
Why Choose Professional Tilers in Derby?
Maybe you’re wondering if professional tiling is worth it. After all, how hard can it be to stick some tiles to a wall?
I thought the same thing before I started in this trade. Then I spent years learning just how much can go wrong when tiling isn’t done properly.
The tiling disasters we’ve fixed in Derby homes and businesses would fill a book – from uneven surfaces and crumbling grout to mold growing behind improperly sealed bathroom tiles.
When you choose professional tilers in Derby, you’re not just paying for the labor of placing tiles. You’re investing in years of experience and training, knowledge of proper preparation techniques, and understanding of different adhesives and when to use them. You get expert grouting that resists staining and cracking and access to professional tools that ensure precision.
One Derby homeowner told us, “I tried to save money by DIYing my kitchen backsplash. I ended up spending twice as much having you fix it than if I’d just hired you in the first place.”
Professional tiling is an investment that pays dividends every time you walk into the room and see beautiful work that stands the test of time.
Our Tiling Process
We’ve refined our tiling process over years of serving Derby homes and businesses. It starts with consultation and measurement, then helping you select the right tiles for your needs. Next comes thorough preparation of the surface, followed by precise installation with proper spacing. We finish with expert grouting and sealing, then conduct a final inspection and clean-up.
Each step matters. Skip one, and the whole job can fail prematurely.
We’ve seen too many rushed tiling jobs in Derby that looked fine initially but developed serious problems within months.
Quality tiling is about patience and attention to detail. That’s what we bring to every Derby project, large or small.
