How To

How to Replace a Broken Tile

Step 1 – Remove the tiles.

The tiles should be removed from the flooring and placed aside. These tiles should be kept intact in case you need them again. It's important to note which parts are missing or damaged in order to be able to find the right replacements.

Step 2 - Choose New Tiles

Look at these different options for replacing tiles.

1. Find a new tile that's similar to the one you removed.
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. You should look for different colors, patterns and textures.
4. Consider which grout you would like to use, if any. Some people prefer a certain color, others like to mix it up.
5. You should ensure that the tile you choose 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 tiles.

For your new tiles, use the same method that you used to install them. 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 down the floor

Clean everything and sand the floor.

Step 6 -- Finish Off

Once the floor is smooth, apply the protective coatings. You should wait until this stage as wet paint can stain new tiles.

For stain protection, you can always use a product called "damp&dry" to clean your floors.

However, it won't cover every possible problem that may occur after you've installed your new tiles. If you have children, an anti-slip coating may be a good idea.

Finally, do not forget to keep the protective sealer on for several more weeks before you move back into your home.
