Repair for cracked, loose, hollow or stained shower tile, with matching replacement and a check for the water damage behind it.
One cracked tile in a shower is not just a cosmetic problem. A crack lets water behind the tile, and loose or hollow tiles can mean the mortar has failed or moisture is working its way into the wall. The sooner the cause is found, the smaller the repair. Matching existing tile can be tricky, especially in older showers where the exact color or size may no longer be made. In Nashville homes with showers from the seventies through the nineties, a careful repair can extend the life of a shower for years or tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense.
We tap-test the walls to find hollow spots, check the grout and caulk and use a moisture meter where water damage is suspected. Damaged tile is carefully removed without harming neighbors, the surface is checked and repaired and replacement tile is set with matching grout. If we find soft backer board or signs of a leak, we explain what it means and what repair is needed. When a repair would be a patch on a failing shower, we say so and discuss a renewal of the affected walls instead.
Loose or cracked tile often points to moisture, movement or poor mortar coverage, and we look behind the damage.
Damaged tile is cut out without cracking the neighbors, which takes patience and the right tools.
We search for matching tile and blend grout color, and we are honest about visible differences.
If water damage is widespread, a patch only hides the problem, and we say so.
