How do you fix a hairline crack in a ceramic tile?

The good news is, hairline cracks can often be fixed without a full tile replacement. Try these simple DIY-friendly steps:

• Clean the area thoroughly, and allow it to dry
• Apply a suitable tile filler or epoxy filler into the crack
• Smooth the surface, wipe off excess, then allow to cure
• If necessary, lightly sand and re-grout or seal for a finish that blends in

However, if the crack is deeper, the tile may need removing and replacing rather than just filling.

How do you replace a damaged tile?

If the rest of the tiled area is in good nick, a skilled tiler can:

• Remove and replace the damaged tile
• Re-grout and seal to match the existing grout
• Make sure the adhesive bed and substrate is sound, so the new tile doesn’t fail

How do you repair floor tiles that are loose or hollow?

When you step on a tile and it feels hollow, bangs or moves, this often means the adhesive has failed or the sub-floor is uneven. Repair steps typically involve:

• Carefully removing the loose tile and any residual adhesive, and making good the substrate
• Re-applying tile adhesive to fix the tile
• Leveling for the perfect alignment
• Re-grouting around the tile to match existing grout before allowing time to cure

Tip: Tiling on top of underfloor heating can be more challenging. Be prepared for this job to take longer (and most likely cost more).
