Tile Repair and Installation

Should you repair or replace tile?

Repair:

Minor Damage: If you have a few cracked tiles or damaged grout, repairing them can be a cost-effective solution.
Loose Tiles: If a few tiles are loose, you can often reattach them with tile adhesive.
Grout Issues: Regrouting can fix discolored, cracked, or missing grout.

Replace:

Extensive Damage: If multiple tiles are damaged or the damage is widespread, replacing the entire floor might be more practical.
Outdated Style: If you want to update the look of your space, replacing the tile can be a great way to achieve a new style.
Water Damage: If water damage has compromised the integrity of the subfloor or caused significant damage to the tiles, replacement is necessary.
Uneven Surface: If the floor is uneven, it can be difficult to repair and may require a full replacement.

Factors to Consider:

Cost: Replacing a tile floor is generally more expensive than repairing it.
Time: Repairing a few tiles is a quicker process than replacing an entire floor.
Skill Level: If you're not confident in your DIY skills, it's best to hire a professional for both repair and replacement.
Aesthetics: Consider the overall look of your space. If replacing the tiles will significantly improve the aesthetic appeal, it might be worth the investment.
