How To
How to replace a damaged tile
Step 1 - Take out the old tiles.
Take out the tiles and place them on a new flooring surface. These tiles will be useful later on, so you'll need to keep them intact. To avoid any problems with replacements, take note of the pieces that have been damaged or lost.
Step 2: Choose New Tiles
Check out these options for tile replacement.
-
You should find a similar tile to the one that you've just taken out.
-
Use the measurements you took when removing the tile to find a matching piece. This allows you to easily find the perfect size without needing to measure again.
-
Be open to different colors, patterns or textures.
-
Consider what grout you'd like to use (if any). Some prefer a solid color, while others like mixing it up.
-
Be sure to select a tile that is resistant against moisture.
-
The final thing to consider is the location of the tile. It will save you time and money if you make sure there's enough space for the proper installation.
-
Once you've picked your tile, place an order online or call your local Lowe's location to place it.
Step 3 – Install the new tiles.
You can install new tiles in the same way you did before. You must align them correctly to ensure they fit together.
Step 4 - Clean Up
Clean up any debris on the floor before you apply the last layer of protective material.
This will prevent dirt or dust from collecting between the tiles and causing mold.
Step 5 – Sand down the floor
After you have cleaned everything, sand the floor to remove any particles that were left from the previous step.
Step 6 – Finish Off
Apply the protective coatings once the floor is smooth. You should wait until this stage as wet paint can stain new tiles.
To protect your floors from stains, you can use "damp-and dry" products.
However, it won't cover every possible problem that may occur after you've installed your new tiles. Consider adding an anti slip coating to your protective layer if you have kids.
Last but not least, be sure to leave the protective sealing on for several weeks before you return to your home.
