Dallas Tile Repair and Tile Replacement

Whether it's the perfect finish for your kitchen floor or you absolutely can't finish your bathroom remodeling project without it, tile makes a beautiful, durable and versatile covering for floors and walls throughout an entire house, and is widely used in commercial spaces as well. But when it has suffered deterioration and needs Dallas tile repair or a complete replacement, it's not looking its best—and it's also not doing its job to protect your house against problems such as water damage.

Don't let your old, damaged tile lower the appeal of your home or leave it vulnerable to further damage when you could simply call your local, qualified handyman for expert Dallas tile repair and replacement services.

Here are some of the ways we address common tile repair issues:

Surface Issues

Small spots of surface damage such as hairline cracks, chips or worn, dirty grout are unattractive, but may not seem like such a big deal. Because those smaller issues can worsen into major problems or create an uneven tripping hazard, it's best to have them taken care of with tile repair. Dallas, TX professionals at Mr. Handyman take care of this kind of damage by applying epoxy to the damage and concealing it with paint, then sealing it to protect the paint and prevent water incursion.

Loose or Broken Pieces

If a single piece (or a couple of pieces) have come loose from their mortar bed, our Dallas tile repair experts can solve that problem by simply removing the old mortar and grout with a carbide-tipped scoring tool and re-laying the tile back in place, then re-grouting it—no need to disturb other pieces that are still firmly attached to the subfloor or backer board. If the piece in question is smashed, we'll need a new replacement tile to put in.

Complete Tile Replacement

Sometimes Dallas tile repair strategies just aren't sufficient to address widespread damage. Or, it may be that a few pieces need to be replaced and there are no matching units available. In those cases, you'll get the best results with a full replacement. We will remove the old installation, address any issues with the underlayment, and install a complete new floor or wall to create a smooth, even, appealing surface that your entire household can enjoy.

What type of tile should I choose for replacement?

Choosing the right option for a replacement can feel like a daunting task because there are just so many choices to be made, from color and pattern to size, shape and material. Porcelain or ceramic tiles are by far the most popular choices because they're so durable, attractive, long-lasting and easy to maintain. They also come in a very wide variety of styles, so it's possible to find something that perfectly matches your interior design scheme. There are also considerations based on where it will be installed—for example, mosaic tiles are the best option to go over top of shower pans because their small size lets them follow the curve of the pan.

How did my floor or wall surface get damaged?

While tile is made to last a long time, it's not completely invulnerable to damage. Sometimes individual pieces are smashed when something like a heavy piece of furniture is dropped on them. But more often, the damage starts out small and worsens over time. That can be caused by factors such as the building shifting and settling, or it may be the result of improperly installed or deteriorating floor joists that are too far apart or sagging in the middle. But in most cases, it's just normal damage that accumulates and worsens as the years go by.

Can I do my own tile repairs in Dallas?

If you've got some experience working with epoxy and plenty of patience, you can likely take care of surface issues fairly easily with the right tile repair strategy. But if the damage is more serious and you've never laid and grouted tile before, it's best left to the pros. We've all seen flooring that wasn't installed correctly, and it has a big negative impact on home appeal.
