Melbourne's Top Choice for Bathroom Shower Tile Repair
Bathroom wall and floor tiles are prone to damage by daily wear and tear, battling steam, splashes and the occasional dropped item. In time, even the toughest tiles can succumb to chips and cracks due to general daily use. Suddenly your impeccable bathroom feels a little worse for wear.
Reach out to Leak Shield, your trusted tile repair specialist in Melbourne, for all bathroom-related issues. We also serve the northeastern suburbs stretching from Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Greensborough, Preston and surrounding.
Understanding the Cause of Tile Damage
Tile damage can occur for various reasons, each contributing to the deterioration of your bathroom’s aesthetics and functionality. Identifying these causes early can help prevent further issues and make sure that your bathroom remains in excellent condition.
Common Causes of Tile Damage:
- Impact and Wear: Regular use often leads to unintentional drops of heavy items, possibly causing tiles to chip or crack. Even minor impacts gradually weaken tiles, making them more prone to damage.
- Water Exposure: Bathrooms are exposed to high levels of moisture from showers and baths. Prolonged water exposure can seep through grout lines and reach the adhesive that holds tiles in place, leading to loosening or detachment.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Sudden temperature shifts, often seen in Melbourne, make tiles expand and shrink. This movement strains the tiles and grout, leading to cracks or loosening over time.
- Improper Installation: If tiles aren’t fitted properly, they’re more likely to get damaged. Weak sticking or uneven positioning can cause tiles to move or break early.
- Substrate Issues: The surface under the tiles (base) needs to be firm and tidy. If the base moves or isn’t stable, it can stress the tiles, leading to cracks or detachment.
- Chemical Damage: Harsh cleaning products can harm tile surfaces and grout, causing discolouration and weakening the materials, making them easier to damage.
Addressing tile damage promptly is crucial to maintaining the appearance and safety of your bathroom. For those in Melbourne, Leak Shield is the company to trust for all your bathroom tile repairs.
