Tile Repair & Replacement Services
Repairs done cleanly without redoing the whole room
Most tile problems do not need a full tear-out. Cracked tiles, broken corners, missing grout, hollow-sounding tiles, and small water damage areas can usually be repaired or replaced in place — provided the underlying issue is identified and fixed.
We assess the cause first, then handle the repair or replacement so the finished tile blends back in cleanly.
Cracked tile
Individual cracked or broken tiles removed and replaced with matching tile and clean grout.
Loose tile
Tiles that have lifted from the substrate re-set with proper thinset and re-grouted.
Grout repair
Missing or failed grout removed and replaced with colour-matched grout for clean lines.
Partial tear-out
Failed shower walls, water-damaged areas, or partial floors repaired without redoing the whole room.
Repaired re-grouted and finished cleanly
What goes into a tile repair
Diagnose, repair, replace, and finish to match the existing tile
Repairing tile properly means finding the cause first. Loose tile usually means substrate or thinset failure. Failed grout often points to movement or moisture. We assess, repair, and finish so the issue does not come back.

Tile Repair and Replacement Questions in Ottawa
Answers to common questions Ottawa homeowners ask about tile repair and partial tile replacement.
Can a single cracked tile be replaced?
Yes, in most cases. Provided we can find a matching tile, a single cracked or broken tile can be removed and replaced cleanly without redoing the rest of the floor or wall.
Why is the grout cracking?
Grout cracks usually point to substrate movement, missing movement joints, or water damage behind the tile. We diagnose the cause before re-grouting so the issue does not return.
Can you repair a leaking shower?
Yes. Leaks behind shower tile usually mean failed waterproofing. We assess the extent, complete partial or full tear-out, install new waterproofing, and re-tile.
Will the repair match the existing tile?
If matching tile is available, the repair blends cleanly. Where matching tile is not available, we discuss alternative approaches, such as replacing a feature row or accent area, to keep the result looking intentional.
