Why Repairing Chips is Better than Replacing Tiles

At Creative Tiling, we understand the frustration of discovering a chipped tile in your beautifully tiled space. Whether it’s in your kitchen, bathroom, or living area, a chipped tile can be an eyesore. However, replacing the entire tile is not always the best solution. Here’s why:

1. Matching Issues: Finding a perfect match for your existing tiles can be a daunting task. Over time, tile designs change, and it’s often impossible to find the exact same tile. Even if you do, variations in dye lots can result in slight color differences that make the new tile stand out.
2. Cost-Effective: Repairing a chip is usually much more cost-effective than replacing a tile. Tile replacement involves labor-intensive work, including removing the old tile, prepping the surface, and installing the new tile. In contrast, chip repair is a quicker and less disruptive process.
3. Preserving Integrity: Replacing a tile can sometimes compromise the surrounding tiles and grout, leading to potential future issues. A well-done repair maintains the integrity of the tiled surface.

Our Chip Repair Process

At Creative Tiling, we specialize in seamless chip repairs that restore the beauty of your tiles. Here’s how we do it:

1. Assessment: We start by assessing the extent of the damage to determine the best approach for the repair.
2. Cleaning: The chipped area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any dust, dirt, or debris. This ensures the repair material adheres properly.
3. Epoxy Application: We use high-quality epoxy to fill in the chipped area. Epoxy is chosen for its durability and strength, ensuring a long-lasting repair.
4. Color Matching: One of the critical steps in our process is color matching. We meticulously match the color of the epoxy to your existing tile, ensuring that the repair blends in seamlessly. This involves mixing different pigments to achieve the perfect shade.
5. Finishing Touches: Once the epoxy has set, we carefully sand and polish the repaired area to match the texture and finish of the surrounding tiles.
