Tile repair & regrouting
Cracked, loose or hollow tiles, crumbling grout, failed caulk and leaky showers — fixed, not patched.
Tile repair and regrouting is the replacement of individual cracked, loose or hollow tiles, the removal and replacement of failed grout and caulk, and the diagnosis of what caused the failure — a moving slab, a missing membrane, a leaking pan — so it doesn't come back.
Most tile problems in the valley start with something under the tile: a slab crack that worked its way up, a shower built without a membrane, grout that was never sealed and twenty years of hard water. Replacing the cracked tile fixes the symptom; finding out why it cracked is the repair.
A repair call is Josh looking at the problem, telling you honestly whether it's a two-hour fix or a sign the shower needs rebuilding, and then doing the fix with matching tile and grout where it's possible. We keep a library of common builder tiles, hunt down discontinued ones, and when nothing matches we'll tell you that too and show you the options.
01
What’s included
- Diagnosis — tapping for hollow tiles, checking for pan leaks, looking at the slab
- Cracked, chipped or loose tiles cut out and replaced with matching or closest-match tile
- Old grout ground out and regrouted; failed caulk removed and replaced with silicone
- Shower floor and corner leaks sealed, or an honest recommendation to rebuild when sealing won't hold
- Grout cleaned and sealed, hard-water scale removed, drains and niches re-caulked
- Small bathroom and kitchen fixes while we're there: loose soap dishes, broken bullnose, missing transitions

How it works
- 01
Send a photo
A picture of the crack, the grout or the stain tells us most of what we need. We'll call with a straight answer about what it probably is and what it takes.
- 02
Look, then fix
On site we confirm the cause. If it's a repair, we do it that visit or schedule it — most regrouts and tile swaps take half a day to a day.
- 03
Seal and advise
Grout sealed, caulk cured, and a few words on what to clean it with so the valley's hard water doesn't undo the work in a year.

Fair questions
Can one cracked tile be replaced without redoing the floor?
Usually, yes. We cut out the grout, break the tile out carefully, clean the mortar bed and set a new tile. The hard part is matching — bring us a spare if you have one, or we'll find the closest tile made today.
Why is the grout in my shower crumbling?
Grout that was never sealed, movement at the corners where grout was used instead of caulk, or water getting behind the tile from a failed pan. Regrouting fixes the first two; the third means the shower needs attention behind the tile.
How much does a tile repair cost?
It depends on the tile, the access and the cause, which is why we ask for a photo first. Small repairs are quoted after a quick look; regrouting a whole shower is a fixed price for the day. Either way you know the number before we start.
Do you fix hard-water stains on tile and glass?
We remove scale from grout and tile and seal them so it comes off easier next time. Etched glass shower doors are a separate problem — the scale has eaten the surface — and we'll tell you honestly when a door is past cleaning.
