Tile can unfortunately be damaged in a variety of ways — some varieties being more vulnerable than others. Especially when tile sits in a high traffic area, it’s easy for an accident to occur or for wear and tear to set in. This damage can include becoming chipped, cracked, or drummy (loose).
While it may seem tempting to try to fix it yourself, a tile repair company should perform the work in order to assess properly what needs to be done and if other considerations need to be made
Wondering if your damaged tile needs to be replaced? Well, that really depends on the type of tiles and the extent of the damage. Some tile can be repaired by simply using a color-matched filler for a few spots. However, more expensive, thick tile is more difficult to fix and may need a replacement. A tile repair company can assess the damage and steer you in the right direction.
Your options when one of your tiles is damaged is to either have your contractor use a filler to remedy any chips or cracks in the surface or replace the tile completely. The old adhesive under the tile will also need to be removed before a new one is installed to ensure it sits flush. The tile professional will also need to regrout.
Sometimes moisture gets beneath the tile and causes unwanted movement. They can become loose or even crack. In some cases it is possible to fix a drummy tile by putting down new adhesive but many times they need to be completely replaced.
It’s important to watch for damage around areas where water can get beneath like kitchens and bathrooms. If moisture gets trapped underneath tiles, growth like mold and mildew can spread and even cause illness and more significant issues with your flooring.
