Check local availability

We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
Kearns has the most uniform housing stock in the valley, single-story homes that grew out of the wartime air base tract and still carry compact bathrooms with small floors and short tub surrounds. In a bathroom that size there is very little tile to work with, so the installer decides early whether the existing material can be matched or whether one wall or the whole floor makes more sense. Tile that sounds hollow near a tub apron usually means the original bond let go, not that the grout wore out.
What this covers
- Replacing cracked or broken tiles
- Removing and replacing failed grout
- Resealing corners and changes of plane
- Resetting loose or hollow-sounding tile
- Grout color matching on existing floors
- Assessing whether a repair or a rebuild is the honest answer
What affects the scope
Every tile job is different, and the independent installer who does the work sets their own price. These are the things they will usually need to know before they can estimate:
- How much area is affected, and whether it is one tile or a whole run
- Whether the cause is cosmetic or is movement or water behind the tile
- Whether matching tile still exists, which often decides repair against replace
- How hard the existing grout is to remove without damaging the tile edges
- Whether the substrate underneath is still sound once a tile comes up
- Whether the honest answer is a repair at all, or a rebuild of that area
Worth asking any installer directly: are you licensed and insured for this work, what waterproofing system do you use, what is your estimate and what does it include, when could you start, and what happens if something is not right afterwards?

Scope and licensing: If the source turns out to be a leaking valve, drain, or supply line, that is licensed plumbing work in Utah and a separate trade from tile. Finding water is common on repair calls, and it changes what the job is. Related reading: Does a tile installer need a license in Utah?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does tile repair and regrouting cost in Kearns?
In these post-war bathrooms the scope usually turns on how many pieces are loose and whether the tub surround was ever properly waterproofed behind the tile, because grout alone is not what keeps water out. Taylorsville Tile Co. does not set prices. If an independent local installer is available for your job, that installer gives you their own estimate and you agree it directly with them before any work starts.
The bathroom in my Kearns house is small. Is it worth repairing a few tiles or redoing the floor?
In a compact bath the repair and the replacement are closer together than people expect, because there is not much square footage either way. The deciding factor is usually whether the original tile can still be found, since a patch in a slightly different color sits right in front of you in a room that size. If the tile is discontinued, the installer will often say so up front rather than start a patch that will never blend.
