Darius, the tile installer, was professional, courteous and prompt. He removed our glass tiles and replaced them with subway tile. He was very clean, vacuumed every day. He gave us suggestions for possible patterns. We are very pleased with the finished work and would recommend the company and especially Darius.

We had a great experience with The Handyman Company when we needed our tile repaired. Very friendly and professional service men and great customer service. We were very pleased with how our job turned out and will be using this company again for future 'handyman' needs.

The Handyman Company did a great job from beginning to end on the backsplash in my kitchen. Their communication was excellent, they showed up when they said they would and their workmanship was incredible. I had talked to a few companies prior and it was like pulling teeth trying to get those guys to follow up. The Handyman Company is run like a company is supposed to be run. I have already booked them for another job on my house and would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work on their house.

What We Handle

Cracked & Loose Tile

Cracked, chipped, and hollow-sounding tiles removed and reset or replaced, matched to your existing tile whenever it can still be sourced.

Regrouting

Failing grout raked out and replaced, not smeared over. New grout keyed into clean joints is what actually seals a floor or wall.

Shower Recaulking

Old caulk stripped, corners and tub joints cleaned and dried, and fresh mildew-resistant sealant laid in straight, clean lines.

Backsplash & Small Installs

Kitchen backsplashes, tub surrounds, thresholds, and small floors. The small tile jobs the big installers will not schedule are our bread and butter.

Grout Cleaning & Sealing

Deep-cleaned grout lines and a penetrating sealer that slows the next round of staining and moisture creep.

Thresholds & Transitions

Cracked marble thresholds and rough tile-to-floor transitions replaced so doorways look finished and nobody catches a toe.

Small Cracks Are How Water Gets In

Tile problems start small and quiet. A hairline crack across one floor tile. A grout line in the shower that crumbles when you clean it. A caulk bead around the tub that has pulled away and gone dark. None of it looks urgent, but every one of those gaps is a way in for water, and in a shower wall that is a countdown, not a cosmetic issue.

We repair tile the way a repair should be done: replace the cracked and hollow tiles, rake out and regrout the failing joints, strip and recaulk the wet areas with the right sealant, and match the existing tile and grout color as closely as the materials allow. When your tile has been discontinued, and after enough years it usually has, we will lay out the honest options: hunting a close match, pulling tiles from a hidden spot, or choosing a deliberate accent rather than an almost-match that bothers you forever.

We also handle small installs that tile companies do not want: backsplashes, thresholds, and small floors. Free estimates, the price guaranteed in writing before we start, and a one year warranty on the work.

Signs Water Is Already Getting Behind the Tile

Tile fails quietly. These are the tells we check first on every call, and any one of them is worth a look.

  • The caulk at the corners or the tub joint has gone dark, cracked, or pulled away from the wall. That line is the seal, and it is open.
  • Grout crumbles or powders out when you scrub it. Sound grout survives cleaning; failing grout leaves with the sponge.
  • A tile sounds hollow when you tap it with a knuckle. It has let go of the wall or floor underneath, and hollow tiles rarely travel alone.
  • There is a stain or bubbling paint on the ceiling below an upstairs bathroom. Water is already through, and the shower above is the first suspect.
  • A musty smell in the bathroom that cleaning never fixes. Moisture is living somewhere it should not be.

Caught early, this is an afternoon of regrouting and recaulking. Caught late, it is opening the wall. Early is cheaper.

Built for Florida

Florida is hard on grout and caulk

Tile is the default Florida floor for good reason, but the grout holding it together lives a harder life here. Year-round humidity means wet areas never fully dry out, daily showers keep the joints loaded with moisture, and air conditioning pulls buildings through constant expansion cycles that open hairline gaps at the corners and tub joints first. That is why the caulk lines fail years before the tile does.

The stakes are what make this worth fixing early. A soft grout joint or a split caulk bead in a shower lets water through the tile face and into the wall behind it, and by the time the damage shows, the fix is not a tube of caulk, it is opening the wall. An afternoon of regrouting and recaulking is the cheap insurance version of that repair, and it is one of the most common calls we run.

What a Regrout and Recaulk Visit Looks Like

  1. 1

    Inspect and tap-test

    We check the joints, tap for hollow tiles, and look for the soft spots that mean water is already behind the surface, before we put a number on anything.

  2. 2

    Rake out the failed joints

    Old grout comes out to proper depth. New grout smeared over old is a cosmetic touch-up that washes out; keyed into a clean joint, it is a seal.

  3. 3

    Regrout and tool

    Joints get packed full, tooled to a consistent profile, and cleaned of haze, with the grout color chosen against your actual tile, not a chart from the truck.

  4. 4

    Recaulk the moving joints

    Corners, the tub junction, and anywhere two planes meet get flexible mildew-resistant sealant instead of rigid grout, because those joints move and grout in a moving joint cracks.

  5. 5

    Cure and seal

    The new grout cures, then gets a penetrating sealer, and we tell you exactly when the shower is back in service before we leave.

Tile & Grout Repair: Common Questions

A few of my floor tiles sound hollow when I tap them. Is that a problem?

It means the tile has released from the floor beneath it, and a hollow tile is a crack waiting for the wrong footstep. Caught early, the fix is resetting or replacing those tiles. We will check the surrounding area too, because hollow tiles rarely travel alone.

My tile is discontinued. What are my options?

Three honest ones. We can hunt for a close match, and we will show it to you next to your tile before committing. We can sometimes harvest matching tiles from a hidden spot, like under an appliance or inside a closet. Or we can use a deliberately contrasting tile as an accent, which often looks better than a near-miss.

Can you regrout my shower without replacing the tile?

Yes, if the tile and the wall behind it are still sound, and that is exactly the right time to do it. We rake out the failing grout, regrout, and recaulk the corners and joints. If we find soft walls or loose tile that point to water already behind the surface, we will show you before the scope changes.

Should the corners of my shower have grout or caulk?

Caulk. Corners and the tub joint are where the building moves, and rigid grout in a moving joint cracks and lets water in. A flexible mildew-resistant sealant in those lines is the correct detail, and replacing cracked corner grout with proper caulk is one of the most common fixes we make.

How much does tile or grout repair cost?

The tile count, the condition of the joints, and whether moisture has already gotten behind them set the scope, so we inspect before we quote. The look costs nothing, and the written price does not change once you approve it.

Do you install full backsplashes, or only repairs?

Both. Backsplashes, tub surrounds, thresholds, and small floors are all regular work for our tile setters. It is the small-to-medium tile work that dedicated flooring companies will not put on their schedule, and it is exactly the size of job we built the company around.
