Tile Repair Service

Description of Work: Kitchen repair project: Transplant 1930's Spanish Tile (that are hidden behind the Oven) to replace about 15 cracked/damaged tiles on the kitchen walls and around sink area.

Description of Work: We hired Eric to replace the shower pan in our tile shower. This meant he had to remove the glass sliding shower doors, existing tile up to about 2 feet high, existing deficient shower pan and subflooring. He also replaced our shower drain/trap at no additional charge when he discovered that it was wearing out too. Eric was able to preserve some of the tiles that he removed during this process which came in real handy when we were trying to integrate the old tile colors later. Eric did a great job of laying out the new tile that we purchased and gave everything a very professional look. When it turned out that I had not purchased enough tile to complete the job, Eric stopped by our tile store to pick up additional tile before making his next visit to work on the project (at no additional cost). At Eric's instruction, we waited a few days after he had completed the job to revaluate the grout work to see if there were any areas that would need touch up after it had dried/settled. We asked him to come out to touch up one area, which he did promptly and again at no additional charge. Eric explained that this project would take approximately 5 days to complete. Since my wife and I both work during the week, Eric did most of his work over a span of a month by working primarily on Saturdays. He was very accomodating with his schedule.

Description of Work: We hired Eric to work on a few areas: - touch up grout in our master bath's walk-in shower - touch up a few grout areas and crunching tiles in our second bath - reseat large floor tiles that were shifting underfoot in our downstairs main hall and family room

Description of Work: Eric came and gave us a grout "tune-up," which I recommend for any home-owner. He touched the kitchen and 2 bathrooms and to say that everything looks fantastic and glistening is an understatement. Eric cares about the quality of his work and he works quickly. He is honest and honorable. I have used him before for much bigger jobs (replace bathroom floor; create access panel for bathtub) and I would use him again. I have referred him to others who have been equally satisfied.

Description of Work: I had a couple small glass tiles that had been cracked by a glass door being installed.

Description of Work: I had a three foot row of tiles on the entrance to the master bathroom shower that were buckling out from under the shower door, apparently from damaged wood underneath. Tenants had recently moved out and I need to release out this 1300 square foot North Hollywood home so I called Eric at Tile Repair Service. He came out to take a look at the work within the week. He was the only contractor who told me that he thought he could save the tiles so that i wouldn't need to purchase new ones. He took a lot of care to remove them to see if they could be reused. He gave me a great price of $350 to repair that damaged area. I also asked him to clean up all of the tiles and grout in both bathrooms and the kitchen. All of the tile looked terrible and he told me that they wouldn't look like new but that he thought he could do a good job of cleaning them up. We scheduled the work for ten days later. It took him most of a day and the results were really impressive. He also regrouted the bathroom tub. All of the work that he did was excellent. I would definitely use him again. He was very friendly, very responsive, does amazing work at very reasonable prices.

Description of Work: regrouting of tile in bath/shower

Description of Work: We hired Eric to repair some grout work on our backsplash and to regrout our entire kitchen floor. He has also to reset some of the floor tiles.

Description of Work: We had a number of tile repair issues for Eric, all challenging, some resulting from delayed remodeling projects. In lieu of removing and replacing our chocolate brown Mexican tile in the kitchen, we decided to repair and replace some damaged ones. Eric cut out the old and cemented in the new very nicely. It's just that now we had a lovely fresh area of tile, with the old looking tired and shabby. I asked Eric if there was something we could do to improve the match and he came up with an idea, an experiment, which we knew going into that the outcome was not guaranteed. He applied to the entire tile surface two coats of epoxy, sanding lightly in between the two, to give us a rich, new shiny topcoat. While the gamble was worthwhile, it wasn't a complete hit as the epoxy showed streaks or separated in certain areas. Still, we are glad we did it. It's better than what we had. Next, Eric replaced some ancient broken pavers on our bathroom floor, a job that we postponed thinking that we would remodel, but no. He found an excellent match and patched them in in such a way that you can't tell the old from the new. The floor is not a great beauty, but it is well-repaired and thoroughly usable until we get around to a more ambitious undertaking. Last was a more artistic project, repairing an antique garden table with a top of glass mosaic. The old cement rim was crumbling away, and many of the glass pieces were broken or missing. Eric found some glass pieces to work with, and I added some that I came up with. First, he created a mold and new cement for the rim. Then, after allowing a couple of weeks to dry, the two of us sat outside on my "island" at the table, picking out glass fragments and shards to fit into the existing design. Once finished, Eric cemented them into place and, voila!, a new life for an old love. Bottom line? Eric is a terrific repairer of tile and a great person to call on to extend the life of existing tile that needs TLC. While he is not a white-glove craftsman, I recommend him highly as someone when you choose to restore rather than replace, a great service for these tough economic times. Next, I have plans for him to work on the Malibu tile in our old barbeque area outside........

Description of Work: Eric repaired the grouted/sealed area between tiles and bathtub which was starting to mold because of the bad work done by a previous tile installation person. I have hired several different people to address this issue. Eric is this first one to engage in a comprehensive analysis of the problem, and to address it appropriately. He completely removed existing mess around bathtub, whereas other workers merely kept trying to put other materials on top of the problem causing additional problems and leaving the area looking terrible. He cleaned the area and re-grouted it, the way it should have been done to begin with.

Description of Work: The bottom limestone slab on a shower bench became unglued and fell. It fortunately was intact but needed to be put abck on the bench.

Description of Work: We used the service of Tile Repair Service to regrout around our tub and they also put some decorative tiles behind my sink.

Description of Work: Needed a few shower tiles replaced.

Description of Work: Replace missing tiles on bathtub wall and replace cracked tiles on kitchen counter. (We provided the tiles.) Grout work in both areas.

Description of Work: Eric had me send him pictures of the repair I needed done. This saved both of us time because he was able to bring the right tile the first time. I have very old tile and he matched them almost 98% which is perfect in my eyes. He did the work one day and came back the next to put in my grout.

Description of Work: He did the water pane sealing prep work in my shower so I could tile myself.

Description of Work: He tiled my apartment kitchen and bathroom. I provided 6 boxes of tile and he did the rest. He laid a backer board down first than laid the tile and grouted and sealed the grout. It took about 3 days which is what he estimated.

Description of Work: Re-tiled our bathtub to stop a serious leak to the ceiling below.

Description of Work: Eric replaced numerous tiles that had come loose and fallen off of our outside porches, and also repaired/replaced broken and missing tile on a corner of our kitchen countertop. He used a special mix of cement and epoxy to refasten the outside tiles, and matched and regrouted our kitchen tile.

Description of Work: Had a lot of grout and tile issues in my bathroom. Eric was responsive to my request for an estimate - calling to confirm his arrival. He knew exactly what needed to be done - he showed up a few days later and performed the work. Did a great job - he is very tidy in his work and very knowledgeable.

Description of Work: A part of the tile and mortar bed around the kitchen sink disintegrated. We have an old 80's kitchen and Eric matched the tile pretty well and was able to rebuild where the mortar bed was.

Description of Work: Removed cracked tiles, removed grout and re-grouted and sealed grout. Replaced the grout with a better quality grout then what we had. The tile we have is very breakable. Eric reinforced the tile on the back. He re-grouted a spot in our kitchen granite and in another bathroom as well where the grout had cracked.
