How To

How to Replacing a Broken Tile

Step 1: Remove the old tiles.

Removing the tiles from your flooring is a good idea. You'll want to keep these intact if you use them later. Note which pieces are missing or damaged to avoid having to search for replacements.

Step 2 – Choose New Tiles

You can take a look at the different options for tile replacement.

1. You should find a similar tile to the one that you've just taken out.
2. To find the right piece, take the measurements you took as you were removing the tiles. This allows you to easily find the perfect size without needing to measure again.
3. Find colors, patterns textures, sizes and shapes in all possible combinations.
4. If you have a preference for grout, consider what it would be best to use. Some people prefer to use a single color, while others love mixing it up.
5. Make sure the tile you select is resistant to moisture.
6. The final thing to consider is the location of the tile. It will save you time and money if you make sure there's enough space for the proper installation.
7. Once you've found the tile that suits your needs, you can place your order online.

Step 3 – Install the new tiles.

Use the same method as before to install your new tiles. It's important to align them correctly in order for them to fit together.

Step 4 – Clean up

Make sure to clean up all debris and other materials before applying the final layer of protection material.

This will prevent dirt or dust from collecting between the tiles and causing mold.

Step 5 -- Sand the Floor

Clean everything and sand the floor.

Step 6 - Close the door

Apply the protective coatings once the floor is smooth. It's important to wait until this point because wet paint can stain the surface of the new tiles.

Remember, you can always use a product called "damp-and-dry" on your floors to help protect against stains.

But it won't address every issue that might arise after installing your new tiles. If you have children, an anti-slip coating may be a good idea.

And finally, remember to leave the protective sealer on for several weeks before moving back into your home.
