There are many times when floor tile repair is necessary. If you have a tile floor that is starting to show wear and tear, or if you have a tile floor that has been damaged, you may need to repair it. Floor tile repair is not a difficult task, but it can be a bit time consuming. The first step in repairing your floor tile is to determine what type of damage has been done. There are four main types of damage that can occur to floor tiles:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Broken Tiles
- Loose Tiles
Once you have determined the type of damage that has been done, you can then begin to repair it. The following are the steps you need to take to repair each type of damage:
- Chips – If a chip is small, you can usually fix it by using a touch up kit. If the chip is larger, you will need to remove the chip and then replace it with a new tile.
- Cracks – If a crack is small, you can usually fix it by using a touch up kit. If the crack is larger, you will need to remove the crack and then replace it with a new tile.
- Broken Tiles – If a tile is broken, you will need to remove the tile and replace it with a new tile.
- Loose Tiles – If a tile is loose, you will need to remove the tile and replace it with a new tile.
Once you have repaired the damage, you will need to seal the floor. Sealing the floor will help to protect it from future damage.
