A cracked tile, a lifting board or a stretch of squeaky floor rarely stays small — every step works the damage wider until a quick fix becomes a full replacement. Catching it early is the cheapest move, and it's exactly the kind of job BuildMan is built for. We repair and replace tile, hardwood, laminate, vinyl and LVP, track squeaks back to the joist that's actually causing them, and re-grout floors, backsplashes and shower surrounds for a clean, water-tight finish.
Because we assess the subfloor on every visit — not just the surface — we fix the cause rather than papering over the symptom, which is why our repairs last. Where you've kept spare tiles or planks from the original install, matching is straightforward; if not, we'll source the closest match and confirm it with you before installing. Loose backsplash tiles, failing grout lines and damaged thresholds are all everyday work. Most floor and tile repairs are completed in one to three hours.
No "trip charges". No surprise add-ons. Most jobs wrap up the same visit.
After 3 hours: $85/hr. Materials at supplier cost. Hours doubled if a second technician is needed.
A cracked tile is a symptom, so tile repair in Toronto starts with a tap test. Hollow-sounding tiles were set without full thinset coverage. A crack running in a line across several tiles usually points to subfloor flex or joist movement. A single chipped tile near the fridge or dishwasher is often just impact. Only the last one is truly a one-tile fix; the others need the cause addressed or the new tile will crack the same way.
Matching is the hard part. If you kept spare tiles from the original install, that is ideal. If not, a tile can sometimes be borrowed from inside a closet or under an appliance and replaced there with a close match where nobody will see it.
Squeaks in older Toronto houses usually come from subfloor boards rubbing on loose nails. Where a basement ceiling is unfinished, the fix is screws or shims from below; under finished ceilings we use concealed screw kits through the floor from above. Damaged hardwood boards are cut out, the bottom groove trimmed, and a new board glued in. Click-lock laminate and LVP planks are swapped either by unclicking from the nearest wall or by cutting in a replacement.
In showers, failing grout is raked out and replaced, and every inside corner and change of plane gets flexible silicone instead of grout, because grout cracks where surfaces move.
A single tile or a few boards usually fit the 1- or 2-hour tier; a shower re-grout or several repairs fit 3 hours. If the subfloor or a large area is failing, our flooring installation service quotes replacement, and tiled showers beyond repair are handled by our bathroom renovation team.
We match where we can — bring out any spare tiles or planks from the original install and it's straightforward. If none exist we'll source the closest match and show you before installing.
Almost always the subfloor has separated from a joist. Where we can reach it from below we re-secure it; otherwise we fix it from the top and conceal the fasteners. We diagnose the actual cause, not just the symptom.
Yes — we remove the old or cracked grout, clean the joints, and apply fresh grout, then seal it. It restores both the look and the water-tightness of the surface.
Yes. We carefully remove the cracked tile without damaging its neighbours, set and grout a matching replacement, and colour-match the grout. If you don't have a spare, bring us a photo and the tile size and we'll help source the closest match.
Yes — we re-secure squeaky subfloors, replace damaged planks, and fix lifting or gapping laminate and vinyl where boards can be lifted and re-seated. We'll assess whether a repair or a small section replacement is the better fix.
Most single-tile and small floor repairs fit the 1-hour ($150) flat rate. Re-grouting a tub surround or repairing several planks is typically a 2-hour ($280) job. We confirm the tier once we know the scope.
