the problem with broken tiles and grout
Damaged tiles and grout can detract the aesthetic appeal of your space and may lead to significant water damage if left unattended, with costs exceeding thousands of dollars.
Tile repairs and grout replacement are excellent approaches to restoring the beauty of your bathroom or kitchen. However, attempting to fix the damage yourself without knowing what tiling tools or methods to use can exacerbate the issue.
Hammer and March Handyman Service will carefully inspect the damaged area and assess its current condition. We use appropriate tiling equipment and tile adhesives to tightly seal the joints and keep your tiles in place. If tile repairs are not feasible and full tile replacement is required, we may suggest that it would be advisable to contact a tiling contractor. Keep in mind that in some cases, the waterproofing or substrate underneath the tiles may also be damaged and require repair.
damaged and discoloured silicone seal
We've all been there—trying to clean up old, unsightly, mouldy silicone by scrubbing it and dousing it with bleach, only to see no improvement or witness the problem worsen.
don’t ignore damaged seals
A damaged silicone seal should not be ignored. A broken seal can cause serious issues for both your health and your home. Damaged silicone seals may allow water to seep into the wall or floor, leading to costly repairs. Mould and mildew growth can also deteriorate indoor air quality and pose health risks.

FAQs
-
Yes. We can handle basic tiling jobs and replace broken tiles. Where a broken or cracked tile needs to be removed and replaced, it is more cost-effective if you have some of the replacement tiles ready for us.
-
Unless they are readily available, tiles can be difficult to match. It may be best to contact a tiling contractor or tile manufacturer for this.
-
Yes, if your grout is otherwise in excellent condition, grout paint may be a viable option for restoring it to like-new condition. However, we strongly recommend repairing any damaged areas first to avoid water damage to your property.
-
Not necessarily. Most tile installers, unless they come back the following day, do not seal because the grout must cure first. There is no cause for concern as long as your tiler employed the proper materials and methods to apply the grout. However, it is something you should do to keep your grout looking its best because sealed grout is much easier to keep clean as it will be water-resistant, preventing the growth of mould and dirt.
-
Grout sealers degrade with time, so you'll need to reseal grout on a floor every three to five years. Shower grout should be resealed once a year. Before resealing, always thoroughly clean the grout.
-
We recommend that any old silicone be removed. While new, fresh silicone can be applied to old silicone and adhere to it, the bond will be weaker than if it were applied to a clean surface. Applying sealant to a seal that doesn’t function as intended does not work.
-
We do not recommend patchwork or applying sealant to a seal that doesn’t function as intended. We can replace sections of the damaged silicone depending on situations such colour matching and the surrounding environment. However often times, it is easier and more cost-effective to replace the whole section.
