One bad tile does not mean a new bathroom

A dropped bottle, a settling floor, or an old impact can crack a single tile. Left alone, the crack lets water into the setting bed and the damage spreads. In most cases the fix is surgical: remove the damaged tile, prepare the bed, and set a replacement.

How single tile replacement works

We cut out the grout around the damaged tile to free it without stressing its neighbors, remove the tile and old thinset, check the substrate, and set the replacement in fresh mortar. Once it cures, the joints are grouted, steam cleaned, and color sealed to blend with the rest of the wall. It pairs naturally with a full regrout, since the whole shower then shares one uniform grout color.

Finding a matching tile

Matching is the hard part. If you have leftover tiles from the original installation, that is ideal. If not, we will help you source the closest available match, or suggest a deliberate accent tile in a less visible spot. We will not promise a perfect match we cannot deliver.

When the substrate is the issue

If several tiles sound hollow or the wall flexes, the problem is behind the tile. That is outside the scope of a restoration, and we will tell you so directly rather than set new tile on a failing wall.
