How to Replace a Bathroom Broken Tile

 

Why Replace a Broken Tile?

Broken tiles are more than an eyesore; they can also lead to water infiltration and leakage. The accompanying damage to the subfloor or even the wall can be pretty problematic. Many believe repairing a tile just improves its looks. However, that’s not true. Such repairs can fix many other issues in your bathroom, some of which might be really massive to deal with later. Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to fix that annoying broken tile.

Gather Your Tools and Materials

Before rolling up your sleeves, keeping essentials ready is necessary. Here’s a list for your convenience:

  • Replacement tile (match size and style as closely as possible)
  • Grout (same colour as the existing one)
  • Tile adhesive or mortar
  • Grout float
  • Hammer and chisel
  • Safety goggles
  • Tile cutter (if trimming is necessary)
  • Sponge and bucket of water
  • Putty knife
  • Notched trowel

Would you like a pro tip? Always follow the motto “safety first.” Those broken edges can be sharper than they look, so carefully handling and disposing of the broken pieces is critical.

We hired Honest Tiling for a full bathroom makeover after hearing so many good things about them from our neighbours. The team was professional and punctual right from the beginning and was attentive to all our questions and provided clarifications throughout the project. They also guided us, helped us with picking the right tiles for our layout and made sure everything was executed flawlessly. What impressed us the most was their cleanliness, and thanks to them, we now have a luxurious, spa-like bathroom we absolutely love!

We were facing constant leaks in our plumbing and it was causing damage to our interiors. We stumbled upon Honest Tiling online and booked their services and it was the best decision we have ever made for our house. It wasn’t just a patch-up job; they took the time to ensure everything was done properly and made sure the new tiling looks amazing and matches seamlessly with the rest of the bathroom. Best of all, no more leaks! I would absolutely trust them again for any tiling or waterproofing needs.

The tilers were professional, polite and very, very skilled. The tilers advised us on the placement of the tiles and cut sections to fit awkward niches around the cupboards, resulting in a simple yet chic finish that ties the entire kitchen together. They were quick, completed the job on time, and left everything immaculate. We are being told by family and friends how much they love our new kitchen tiles. Honest Tiling, true to their name, consistently delivers honest results!

After dealing with broken and loose patio tiles for years, we decided to give Honest Tiling a call. I really wish we had done this earlier! The team was fast, friendly, and really skilled. They picked out some lovely, durable tiles to swap out the old ones and made sure to seal everything up so it can handle the outdoor elements. Your patio will look fantastic and feel smooth underfoot, making it a safe and inviting space to enjoy. But you know what really stands out about the whole experience? It’s the incredible attention to detail and the precision they put into everything they do. I will definitely use Honest Tiling again, for inside or outside work.
