Cracked and Loose Tile Repair

Cracked and loose tile repair that replaces broken tiles and re-bonds hollow ones, finding the cause so the repair holds.

A cracked or loose tile is more than a cosmetic problem. It can let water reach the floor below, and the same cause may be at work under neighboring tiles. Homeowners in Nashville call us when a dropped pan breaks a tile, when a tile sounds hollow or when cracks run across several tiles. The right repair finds the cause, not just the symptom.

We tap the floor to find hollow spots, look for patterns in cracks and check for movement and moisture. A single broken tile is removed carefully, the bed is cleaned and a new tile is set and grouted to blend. If a pattern of cracks points to a deeper problem, such as a soft subfloor or a slab crack, we tell you and explain options. We keep spare tile on file when possible and can often match older tile, and we warn you when a perfect match is not available. Locate any spare tile you may have and share a photo of the pattern and the box markings. Mark the cracked tiles with painter's tape and tell us when they cracked. If the cracks followed an event like a leak or a hit, that helps us find the cause.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.

  3. 03

    Review the estimate

    You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    We prepare the surfaces

    Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.

  5. 05

    We set the tile

    Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.

  6. 06

    Grout, seal and walk through

    We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.
