Tile Replacement in Greater Boston
Cracked grout, loose tiles, a dated pattern, or a shower that has started to leak — tile replacement is a chance to fix what failed underneath, not just change the surface.
VB Construction replaces tile across Greater Boston. We remove the old tile, inspect and correct the substrate and any water damage behind it, rebuild the waterproofing in wet areas, and re-tile to a standard that lasts. Most tile failures trace back to what was — or was not — done beneath the original tile, so replacement is the moment to get it right.
Whether it is updating a dated floor, refreshing a tired backsplash, or rebuilding a failing shower, we treat the tear-out as a diagnosis. What we find behind the old tile tells us what to fix so the new tile does not fail the same way.
Replacement is part of the rest of our tilework, correcting failures the original install missed.

Frequently asked questions
My shower tile is leaking. Is replacing the tile enough?
Not by itself. A leaking shower usually means the waterproofing behind the tile has failed, so we rebuild that layer during replacement. Re-tiling over failed waterproofing just hides the leak until it does more damage.
