Is It Time to Replace Your Tiles?

September 30, 2024

The Telltale Signs That Your Tiles Need Changing

Tiles are a solid choice for both homes and businesses. Not only do they look great but they can also last for ages if you invest in some quality ones. Even so, the toughest tiles have their shelf life, and eventually will need replacing. So, how do you know when to replace them? Here are some telltale signs that your tiles need replacing…

1. Cracks and Chipped Tiles

First up, cracks and chips. Any damage like this is a clear sign your tiles are on their last legs. Maybe you've dropped something heavy, or the foundation has shifted over time. As a business, cracked tiles are a health and safety issue. You definitely don’t want a client tripping over. If your tiles are showing serious wear and tear, it is time to get them replaced. 

2. Loose or Hollow Tiles

Ever walked over your tiles and heard a strange hollow sound? Or maybe they feel a bit wobbly? That often means the adhesive underneath is going. Loose tiles are a trip hazard, which is the last thing you want in a commercial setting or at home. Get them changed! 

3. Stains and Discolouration

Tiles in kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas are bound to take a bit of a beating. Stains, scuffs, and discolouration can start to show up over time, and sometimes no amount of scrubbing will get them looking fresh again. If your tiles are looking a bit tired, it is probably time to get some new ones!

4. Outdated Look

Tiles that were all the rage 10 or 15 years ago might not be cutting it style-wise today. Whether it’s your home or business, freshening up with a more modern design can do wonders for the overall feel of the space. Plus, updating old tiles can give your property a boost in overall value. 

5. Mould and Mildew

If you have tiles in areas with a lot of moisture, like the bathroom or kitchen, then it may be time for a change. Mould or mildew creeping into the grout or tile surface is a big red flag. It looks awful and it can be harmful to your health. Get those tiles changed!

Time for a Change?

Whether you’re sprucing up your home or keeping your business free from hazards, these telltale signs will give you the heads up!
