Tile and grout repair across San Diego County
A cracked floor tile, a loose shower tile, or grout that's crumbling and turning black isn't just cosmetic, it lets water into the subfloor or wall cavity. We replace cracked and loose tiles using proper thinset adhesive, match the existing grout color, and regrout areas where the old grout has deteriorated. San Diego's older homes in neighborhoods like North Park, Normal Heights, and Kensington often have original clay and Saltillo tile that requires a more careful hand, we work with it.
What's included in this service?
- Individual cracked or broken tile replacement using proper thinset and leveling
- Loose tile reattachment, remove, clean substrate, rebond, and regrout
- Grout removal and regrout for discolored, crumbling, or mold-stained joints
- Grout sealing after regrout or on existing clean grout
- Shower tile repair including glass tile, subway tile, and large-format porcelain
- Saltillo, clay, and natural stone tile repair common in older San Diego homes
- Caulk replacement at tub-to-tile and floor-to-wall junctions
When do you need this service?
- A tile is cracked, chipped, or has a corner broken off
- A tile sounds hollow when you tap it, the bond has failed and it may crack soon
- Grout is black, crumbling, or pulling away from the tile edges
- Water has gotten behind a shower wall tile and the tile is lifting
- The caulk at the base of the shower or tub has mold that won't clean off
What do homeowners ask about Tile Repair?
Do you offer tile and grout repair near me in San Diego?
Yes. Fix Pro handles tile and grout repair across all of San Diego County, from coastal neighborhoods like Carlsbad and Encinitas to inland communities like Poway, El Cajon, and Escondido. Most jobs get a same-week visit, and we quote flat-rate before any work starts, so you know the number before we pick up a tool.
Can you match the existing tile if I need a replacement?
We'll try, bring us to the spot and we'll assess the tile type, size, and color. For common tile sizes and colors, we can usually find a close match at a tile supply or home center. For unusual or discontinued tile, you may need to source extra tiles yourself (check if there's leftover tile in the garage from the original install, it's often there).
What if there's water damage behind the tile?
We probe for soft substrate before rebonding any tile. If the cement board or subfloor is soft, we'll show you the damage before proceeding, that's a bigger repair that may involve a plumber first. We won't bond new tile over a compromised substrate.
Do you need a permit to replace tile in San Diego?
Replacing individual tiles or regrouting doesn't require a permit. If the work involves replacing a significant section of cement board (e.g., after water damage), that may depend on scope, we'll let you know before we start.
How long after a regrout before I can use the shower?
Standard Portland cement grout needs 24–72 hours before getting wet, depending on the product and the temperature that day. We'll give you a specific timeline based on the product we use.

Had three holes in my hallway from a botched DIY attempt, different sizes, one with texture around it. He matched the orange peel texture exactly and I genuinely can't find the patches now. Priced fairly, no surprises on the invoice.
My living room wall is stucco over concrete block, two other people said no. Fix Pro came out, assessed it, had the right hardware, and mounted my 75-inch TV same day. Clean install, cables managed through the wall. Exactly what I needed.
He repainted my master bedroom and the hallway leading to it, a tricky color transition I'd been putting off for two years. Clean prep work, no drips on my oak floors, and the edges at the ceiling are straighter than when the house was built. Hired him again for the living room.
