Expert Tiling Repairs in Perth by Bathroom Surgeon
Your bathroom tiles are used to a lot of wear and tear. They take a lot of your daily living. And, as they age, they can get damaged. A few chips here and there, some scratches, and eventually, you may see cracks start to form. They can fade over time, lose their colour and shine, and get dirty and discoloured, changing the aesthetic of your bathroom.
They’re also extremely sensitive to structural movement. This is especially common within the first five or so years of your new home’s life, where the soil underneath is shifting and adjusting to the new build, or can be due to heavy vibrations from construction work next door. As your house moves, tiny cracks can appear. Cracks that can grow, and eventually develop into completely cracked tiles.
Bathroom Surgeon can help you replace any damaged tiles so you won’t notice the difference, regrout your tiles entirely to give your entire bathroom a fresh new look, or retile the whole shower recess or bathroom.
So if you want to replace your old, cracked tiles, call in Perth’s tiling specialists. Get in touch with us today for a free quote.
TRANSFORM YOUR BATHROOM
If your tiles are starting to crack and become unsafe, this can signify a deeper issue. There might be moisture hiding behind your tiles, which means there is a leak somewhere in your shower or bathroom area that needs repairing.
So it’s important that you monitor any cracked tiles. If you notice them start to get worse, or if it’s accompanied by a build-up of mould or mildew, then you may have a bathroom or shower leak issue. If you notice a large number of cracked or loose tiles—say 40% of those in your shower recess—this could be due to excessive building movement, and means your original tiles were installed to an inadequate standard, or the wrong tile glue was used altogether.
Cracked or loose tiles can even affect other areas of your house. Water passes through the surface, pooling underneath, and eventually leading to water damage in other areas.
So if you notice a substantial amount of cracking or loose tiles, we can provide a complete retile of your bathroom recess.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We provide a full range of tiling services in Perth and the Metro area.
- Tile replacement. If you notice any damage to your tiles, we can carefully replace them altogether, using replacement tiles or by sourcing new ones ourselves.
- Complete re-tile. If you’re after a full refit, we can replace and retile your entire bathroom space, laundry, balconies, or any other tiled surfaces.
- Sealing and waterproofing services. The standard cement-based grout that’s typically used in your bathroom is quite porous. This means that you don’t even have to see any visible cracks for leaks to start occurring, and over time, water can start to seep through. So we can apply a special epoxy sealant that not only looks great, but also works to waterproof any cracks. If it’s a bigger issue, we can go deeper and waterproof your entire bathroom. We can remove your tiles, and install a new waterproof membrane under your tiled areas. This works to further prevent water passing through into the substrate, and further damaging your property.
Every tile repair job in Perth will be different. It might be replacing a few tiles that have hairline cracks, resealing with new grout, or it might be retiling your entire shower floor and installing a new waterproof membrane. The cost of retiling will depend on a number of factors, such as the size of the area to be retiled, or the type and size of the tiles to be fitted.

Honestly, your tiles can crack for a number of reasons. Something might have been dropped on them, the structure of your home may have moved or settled (typically the most common culprit), or the tiles may have been laid improperly in the first place.
Before you use your shower again, all the tiles and grout need to settle and dry. So we recommend you leave the shower for at least 24 hours before using it again.
