Why Homeowners Choose Our Tile Repair Team

When the tile starts to crack, many homeowners are told that a full replacement is their only option. We take a different approach. Our goal is to evaluate the condition of your tile and backing surfaces, recommending repair whenever practical. This often means less mess, less downtime, and a more affordable project.

• Advanced Technology: Our steam vapor equipment deep cleans grout lines without harsh chemicals, lifting buildup that regular mopping misses.
• Safety First: We use eco-friendly cleaning agents safe for families, pets, and individuals with sensitivities.
• Local Expertise: Each location is independently owned and operated, backed by a national network that sets high standards for training and service.

Common Tile Problems We Repair

Tile and grout issues often start small and grow over time. We address a wide range of problems in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways in and around Carrboro, NC:

• Cracked or Chipped Tiles: In showers, tub surrounds, floors, and backsplashes.
• Hollow-sounding tiles: Often indicating issues with bonding or underlying moisture.
• Failing Grout: Missing, crumbling, or shrinking grout that leaves gaps.
• Persistent Stains: Grout lines that stay dark even after routine cleaning.
• Compromised Caulk: Discolored or failing seals at tub edges and corners.

In older homes, original tile can serve for decades if properly maintained. Whether it's a student rental or a busy family home, we can often replace select tiles, regrout, and reseal to extend the life of the installation.

Repairing Tile Instead Of Replacing It

Repairing visible damage keeps the character of the original tile while resolving functional issues. It is often the practical choice when preparing a property for sale or getting a rental unit ready for new tenants.

However, if we find widespread structural damage, such as water-damaged backer board, we will honestly explain why replacement might be the better long-term option. Our aim is to help you invest in solutions that make sense for your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair just a few cracked tiles? 

Yes. In many situations, we can replace individual cracked tiles if you have spare matching pieces. If the substrate is sound, this is a cost-effective alternative to re-tiling the entire room.

How long will my bathroom be out of use? 

Smaller repairs can often be completed in a single day. Larger projects, like full shower regrouting, may require 24-48 hours for materials to cure properly. We discuss timelines clearly during your estimate.

Will the repairs match my existing floor? 

We strive for a seamless blend. We match grout color as closely as possible and can use Color Sealing to unify the look of old and new grout. For tile replacement, we typically use spare tiles you provide to ensure a perfect match.

Is your process safe for pets? 

Absolutely. Our steam cleaning process reduces reliance on harsh chemicals, making it safe for homes with children and pets. We also ventilate the work area as needed.
