Repair

Seattle tile repair that matches the finish

A repair starts with hollow sound, lippage, and failing grout. I repair what you already live with—or reset the area when a patch will not hold.

Ability Tiles is Andzhei—one craftsman across Greater Seattle and nearby cities. For a full shower or bathroom job, see the bathroom remodel page. Other lines are on the services hub or About.

When to reset

When a patch is not enough

Sometimes a few tiles and grout are enough. Sometimes water under the finish or a soft substrate means a clean new install. On the visit I say which path fits—prep, materials, and timeline before work starts.

Each repair stays scoped so the finish holds up—not a patch that reads as a different shade or height next month.

Approach

Matched materials and layout limits

Older lines get discontinued. I blend color, size, and layout as closely as stock allows—and say when a wider reset is smarter than a near-miss match.

Install methods stay practical, informed by references such as the Tile Council of North America. Questions on a wet-area reset? Call (425) 737-8064 or use the contact page.

How I work

How a repair is handled

A few tiles or a larger reset, the path is the same: check, scope, reset, grout.

  1. 01

    Damage check

    I check hollow spots, wet-area risk, and whether spare tile still matches before scope is locked in.

  2. 02

    Repair scope

    You get prep, layout, timeline, and cost before work starts—no open-ended patch.

  3. 03

    Tile reset

    I take out the damaged pieces and set the new ones myself.

  4. 04

    Blend check

    Grout, cleanup, and a look at how the repair sits next to the old tile.

FAQ

Repair questions

Can you fix just a few broken tiles?

Often yes, if you still have spare tile or a close stock match. On site I show what can blend and when a larger reset avoids a visible patch.

Do you also do full new installs?

Yes. The work covers spot fixes and full replacement installs when substrate or layout will not support a small patch.

How long does a repair take?

A few tiles can finish in a day. Expanding for soft substrate or a wet wall takes longer. Schedule is set after the visit.

How much does tile repair cost?

Cost tracks access, whether stock still matches, and how wide the reset must go. You get numbers after the site visit.

Do you only do repairs?

No. Shower remodel, kitchen, floors, custom, and fireplace work are available—start with bathroom tile or the services hub.

How do I get a repair looked at?

Send photos of the damage through the contact page, or call (425) 737-8064. Add your timeline.
