Tile repairs & regrouting

A cracked tile, a loose one that moves underfoot, or grout that is stained and crumbling makes a room look worse than it is. We replace individual tiles where matching tiles are available and renew grout, so you can often avoid re-tiling the whole area.

Labour from $129+ incl. GST

What the job usually includes

  • Removing and replacing cracked or loose floor and wall tiles
  • Raking out and regrouting tired or damaged grout
  • Re-tiling small areas, such as a hallway section, when quoted
  • Sealing and cleaning up after the repair

Not included

  • • Full bathroom or kitchen re-tiling as a renovation
  • • Repairing the slab or floor structure under the tiles
  • • Supply of discontinued or hard-to-find matching tiles

What affects the price

  • Number of tiles to replace and whether you have spare matching tiles
  • Tile size and type, and how firmly the old tiles are bonded
  • Area of grout to renew
  • Whether the cause — movement or water — has been fixed

Photos help. Helpful photos: the whole tiled area, a close photo of the damage, and any spare tiles you have kept.

When more information is needed. A few cracked tiles or a regrout can often be estimated from photos. Widespread cracking or tiles lifting in a shower may point to movement or water, and needs more information first.

Questions about this job

What if I don't have spare tiles?

We can look for a close match, but an exact match is not always possible with older tiles. We will tell you before starting so you can decide.

Can you fix a leaking shower by regrouting?

Not reliably. A leak through a shower floor usually means the waterproofing has failed, which needs the waterproofing redone. We do waterproofing repairs; anything involving pipes needs a licensed plumber.
