Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their exceptional helpfulness and positive attitudes, often going above and beyond to assist with inquiries, orders, and problem resolution. Many people highlight the outstanding customer service, noting quick responses, professional handling of queries, and a genuine commitment to customer care. However, some people were dissatisfied with certain aspects of their experience. Issues occasionally arose with product quality, with some customers receiving tiles that were shoddily made, prone to cracking, or had inconsistent coloring within the same box. Additionally, a few reviewers encountered problems with delivery, including excessive automatic charges for small orders, incorrect items being sent, or damaged tiles upon arrival. There were also isolated instances of poor in-store customer service and difficulties with communication regarding order status or refunds.

Flexible with delivery

Had a small order for which the shipping cost was as high as the value of the tiles. Got in touch with customer support and they provided alternative shipping. Great experience.

Floor tiles

I had a few tiles that arrived broken, but the company handled it brilliantly. They responded straight away and replaced the damaged tiles very quickly with no hassle at all. Excellent customer service from beginning to end and great communication throughout. Thanks to Sam, Asim, and Abu. Highly recommend!

Customer service excellent

Standard delivery was way too high for my small order so I rang sales. Very helpful lady gave me an even better price on the tiles and a perfectly fair delivery price.
When the tiles arrived, some were broken but a single email got an express delivery replacement for them.
Tiles great and customer service excellent.

Superb support from Maya over the phone. I enquired about reducing the shipping costs as I was only buying 4x border tiles and she was able to get this to a reasonable level. I thank her very much for her assistance.

disappointing experience…

I had a very disappointing experience with Tile Direct. They are not professional or trustworthy. My order was only partially delivered, and I still haven’t received the remaining items. On top of that, I was charged a delivery fee even though it was supposed to be free. I tried to contact them, but their communication and customer service were very poor. I wouldn’t recommend this company at all, they do not keep their promises and are unreliable.

Worst OnlineShopping Experiences

One of the worst online shopping experiences I have ever had. We will never order from Tiles-Direct again. Utterly untrustworthy, from my experience, they don’t actually own any stock themselves; they simply act as a poorly managed reseller. My experience has been dreadful for the following reasons:

Orders over £500 are meant to qualify for free delivery, yet we were charged a delivery fee. After several phone calls, we were told this was a “system error” and that the charge would be refunded. To this day, no refund has been issued.

The wrong colour tile palette was delivered. When I called to sort it out, they blamed their supplier, confirming my suspicion that they don’t hold stock themselves.

I arranged a collection, waited at home the entire day, and received absolutely no notification. No one turned up, no message, nothing.

We ordered tiles, trims, and panels, all of which arrived separately via different couriers. Once again, this shows they’re not managing stock directly, just shuffling orders around like a disorganised middleman.

I still haven’t received my tile trims and am continually having to chase them up.

We had a builder booked to fit the tiles, but due to Tiles-Direct’s incompetence and delays, we had to cancel the job and pay a cancellation fee. Absolutely disgraceful service. Never again.

Avoid Tiles Direct – Dishonest Communication and Poor Service

I had a terrible experience with Tiles Direct. I placed an order online on 20/08/25. The next morning, I received an email from Sam, the Online Sales Manager, informing me that the tiles were out of stock and were expected to arrive by 01/10/25. I called him to ask if there was a chance the order would be cancelled, as I needed certainty for my builders. He assured me the tiles would definitely be with me by 01/10/25, if not earlier.

On 29/09/25, I emailed Sam for an update, as I still hadn’t received any notification that my order was being prepared or dispatched. He replied the following day, saying the delivery date had now changed to 22/10/25 and asked if I was happy to wait. If I hadn’t contacted him first, would he have informed me of this delay at all?

I responded that I wasn’t willing to wait and requested a full refund. He said he would process it. By 10/10/25, I still hadn’t seen the refund on my statement, so I had to email Sam again asking for proof. Only then did I receive a PayPal notification confirming the refund, followed two minutes later by an email from Sam with the receipt. If I hadn’t chased it, I don’t believe I would have received it.

Had a very good experience with this company, tiles were excellent, even though two large tiles were damaged, they quickly sent replacements and received in two days. Would definitely use again.
