Tile and grout repair
Quick answer
A few cracked or loose tiles do not usually mean redoing the whole floor. HandyMangum replaces individual tiles, resets hollow ones, regrouts and recaulks showers and installs small tile jobs such as backsplashes. If water has gotten behind shower tile, we tell you before covering it up. Call or text (407) 699-1123 for a free estimate.
Repair first, when it makes sense
Most tile repairs come down to finding matching tile. Many homes have leftover tile in the garage, and that is worth checking before we start.
For full showers and bathrooms, see bathroom remodeling.

What affects the cost
- Matching tile. Leftovers save time; discontinued tile means searching for a match
- Number of tiles. One tile and twenty tiles are different jobs
- Cause. Cracks from a moving slab or a bad install may come back
- Water damage. Wet backer board behind shower tile has to be replaced
- Tile type. Large-format and natural stone take more care
How to tell if shower tile has water behind it
Tap
Tap tiles with a coin; a hollow sound means they have let go.
Press
Soft or moving wall tile is a warning sign.
Look
Look for dark grout that never dries, or mold that comes back.
Act early
Recaulking early is much cheaper than rebuilding a wall.

What customers say
“They installed a large grab bar in my shower. It's all tile and it was a pretty tough job because you have to drill through the tile without cracking it and they did an excellent job. If I were to hang on it which I'm 175 lb it would hold me. It is strong. If you need somebody for a handyman work around the house I would recommend them. They are good 👍”

Travis G. Google review
“I would like to commend Ana, I know she isn’t the one doing the work but she sure has a hard job keeping all her ducks in a row and moving forward. She has been a delight to work with as was everyone else at handymangum from the tile guys to the wood flooring guys. Oh and let’s not forget the painters and the follow up guys that made sure all was finished and we were happy with the work. They went above and beyond in making sure we were happy with the workers as well as the work.
Give them a try. I bet you will be happy you did.”O. J. Google review
Tile Repair FAQs
Can you replace one cracked tile?
Yes, if we can find a match. Check your garage for leftovers.
Why do tiles crack?
Usually a crack in the slab below, a heavy impact or tile set with too little thinset.
Should I regrout or recaulk?
Grout goes in the joints between tiles; flexible caulk belongs at corners and where tile meets the tub. Many problems are caulk that was used where grout should be, or the other way around.
Do you redo whole showers?
Yes, as part of a bathroom remodel.
