Professional Tile Restoration in Hickory / Gastonia, NC

Yes, a broken tile can be replaced individually without needing to redo the entire floor. Tile professionals can match and install new tile that blends seamlessly with the existing surface.

The cost to replace broken tiles can range from $130 to $500, depending on factors like tile type, damage extent, and floor layouts. Ceramic tiles tend to be less expensive to repair than natural stone, like marble or granite. Regardless of the final cost, it is typically much more affordable than a full floor replacement.

For an accurate estimate tailored to your situation, it’s best to contact a professional. At Footprints Floors, you can receive a free, detailed quote and a clear understanding of the work required to restore your tile floor.

Small chips or minor cracks in tiles can sometimes be repaired using specialized fillers or epoxy kits designed for tile restoration. These options can improve appearance temporarily but are generally best for low-traffic areas or cosmetic fixes.

Most broken tiles—especially those that are cracked or loose—require full replacement to ensure the surface remains durable, safe, and visually appealing. Improper repairs can cause further damage, moisture infiltration, and may shorten the lifespan of surrounding tiles. Because tile repair involves careful removal, precise replacement, and resealing of grout, it’s recommended to hire experienced professionals rather than attempt a DIY fix.

The best way to find a matching replacement tile is to check if you still have leftover tile from the original installation. If not, you’ll need to work with a reputable tile provider that is experienced in helping clients match tile.
