Floor tile replacement in Ottawa — FixItAll Handyman Services
Cracked, loose, or damaged tiles on your floor or backsplash can look bad and can create sharp edges or weak spots that get worse over time. I replace individual tiles (or a small group) cleanly and securely so the repair blends into the existing layout. The work includes careful removal without chipping surrounding tiles, proper surface prep, and accurate leveling so the new tile sits flush. I match grout spacing as closely as possible and finish with neat grout lines for a clean look. Once complete, the surface looks consistent again and feels solid underfoot. I serve Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans.
I carefully remove damaged tiles without harming the surrounding area, clean old mortar/thinset, apply fresh adhesive, level the new tile, and finish with clean grout lines. When needed, I use protection and controlled removal to minimize dust and avoid edge damage. I also aim to match grout colour and joint width so the repair looks natural. Whether it’s one tile or several pieces, the goal is a neat, seamless replacement that restores the look and function of the surface.
What’s included: removal of the damaged tile(s), cleanup of adhesive residue, surface preparation, installation and leveling of the replacement tile(s), and grout finishing to match the surrounding joints as closely as possible.
When this service is a good fit: single cracked tiles, chipped corners, hollow/loose tiles, small backsplash damage, or a few tiles that need replacement after an impact or wear.
Process & expectations: I confirm the exact tile location and replacement plan on-site, protect nearby finishes, remove and prep the area, set the tile(s), and return/finish grouting where needed. Dry and cure times depend on the adhesive and grout, so I’ll point out any short-term restrictions (for example: when it’s safe to walk on the repair or expose it to water).
Not included / when another trade is needed: tile replacement does not correct structural movement, a failing subfloor/underlayment, widespread tile delamination, or waterproofing failure behind shower/bath walls. If there is active moisture, soft flooring, or an ongoing plumbing leak, that issue must be addressed first (a licensed plumber may be required where applicable) before tile work can hold long-term.
Who’s doing the work: FixItAll Handyman Services (Ruslan). I’m a fully registered and insured sole proprietor in Ontario, and I keep tile repairs tidy and scope-based — the plan and conditions are confirmed before work begins.
If this is part of getting a unit ready for tenants, it can be bundled with my Complete Rental Prep service.
FAQ — Tile Replacement in Ottawa
Can you replace just one broken tile?
Yes. I can replace a single tile or a small group of tiles while keeping the surrounding area intact, so the repair blends into the existing layout.
Do I need to provide a matching tile?
If you have a spare tile, that’s ideal. If not, I can help you look for a close match, but an exact match depends on what is still available in stores or from the original manufacturer.
How do you price tile replacement?
Pricing depends on the number of tiles, how hard the old adhesive is to remove, access, and whether grout matching is required. I confirm the scope on-site and the final price is confirmed before work starts.
Can you reset tiles that are loose but not cracked?
In many cases, yes — I can remove and reset loose tiles with fresh adhesive and grout. If the substrate is failing or there is widespread movement, a larger repair may be needed.
Which areas do you serve?
Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans.
