Types of Damaged Tiles
Tiles can become damaged in a number of ways: from poor initial installation, movement in the structure, and dropped items . We can often disguise minor damage, and if damaged beyond repair, we can remove and replace with a new spare tile. Here are some types of tile damage you’ll typically come across:
Cracked or Chipped Tiles
Cracked tiles typically occur due to the impact of heavy objects such as pots and cans being dropped on the tiles, the usage of low-quality tiles, improper subfloor installation, incorrect cutting and handling during installation, variations in environmental conditions, and so on.
Loose Tiles
Loose floor tiles can be a result of improper adhesive application, moisture intrusion, or temperature fluctuations. These unstable tiles not only affect aesthetics but pose safety risks as they could be prone to cracking if weight and pressure are excessively added to the loose side. Addressing the issue involves reapplying a suitable adhesive or addressing underlying moisture problems, ensuring a flat, secure, and long-lasting tiled surface.
Buckled Tiles
Buckled tiles arise from temperature shifts, moisture, or improper installation, causing the tiles to push against one another, leading to unsightly “tenting” on floors. It’s essential to address the root cause, whether it’s subfloor moisture or insufficient tile expansion joints, and then relay the tiles securely, ensuring a smooth and resilient surface.

FAQ
Can you repair a leaking shower?
This depends on the leak and the construction of the shower.
If a shower is leaking through a wall into an adjacent room, there is a failure with the waterproofing membrane behind the tiles. This cannot be repaired without a major deconstruction of the shower and can be very costly. Simply replacing failed grout and silicone, which may look like it is waterproofed the area, is not a solution that can be guaranteed.
What should I clean my grout with?
Unless your grout has been sealed properly there is nothing that will keep it clean. Many people resort to bleach or even acids to try and remove stains which will, in fact, damage the grout. GroutPro specialises in sealing the grout so that mild eco-friendly cleaners are all that is needed to keep it looking in tip top condition. If your grout is already stained we can recolour it and seal it with our Colourseal sealer.
How long does silicone stay mould free in a shower?
There is no easy answer to this question as it comes down to your daily maintenance process. Moisture, heat, and soap residue are what mould thrives on, so in order to minimise growth we recommend ensuring a good extractor fan is used during showering, and that you wipe your shower dry after each use. This removes the conditions that mould needs to grow.
We have found that silicone in a shower typically requires replacement every couple of years.What kind of grout is best for a wet area such as a shower?
Epoxy grout is recommended in wet areas as it is waterproof and much more resistant to staining. We regrout shower bases with Epoxy to provide the longest lasting solution. Grout on shower walls can be protected using our Colourseal grout sealer, which provides similar protection to Epoxy grout.
Can you fix a broken tile?
This really depends on the extent of the damage. Small chips and cracks can be disguised so they are much less noticeable, but larger damage requires us to replace the tile.
Why can’t I get the water marks off my shower glass?
Water spotting is caused my minerals such as calcium, lime, and iron in the water supply fusing to the microscopic pores of the glass. This happens when the water droplets are left on the glass after showering – the water evaporates leaving the minerals. Over time these minerals block the clarity of the glass. Specialist abrasive products (and a lot of elbow grease) are required to remove these minerals without damaging the glass. In most cases we can restore 80%-90% of the clarity, but occasionally the glass is unable to be restored.
The best way to minimise water marks is to dry the glass after each use.
