Tile Repair Cost Estimator
Estimate the total cost to repair or replace damaged tiles, including materials, adhesive, grout, and labor.
Damaged Area (sq ft)
Tile Type
Ceramic ($1.50–$4/sq ft) Porcelain ($3–$7/sq ft) Natural Stone ($5–$15/sq ft) Glass ($7–$20/sq ft) Vinyl/LVT ($1–$3/sq ft)
Tile Material Cost ($/sq ft)
Waste / Cut Factor (%)
Labor Rate ($/sq ft)
Old Tile Removal Cost ($/sq ft)
Grout & Adhesive Cost ($/sq ft)
Contractor Overhead & Profit (%)

#### Formula
Adjusted Area = Damaged Area × (1 + Waste% / 100) Material Cost = Adjusted Area × Tile Cost per sq ft Grout & Adhesive Cost = Damaged Area × Grout/Adhesive Rate Labor Cost = Damaged Area × Labor Rate per sq ft Removal Cost = Damaged Area × Removal Rate per sq ft Subtotal = Material + Grout/Adhesive + Labor + Removal Overhead & Profit = Subtotal × (Markup% / 100) Total Cost = Subtotal + Overhead & Profit Cost per Sq Ft = Total Cost / Damaged Area
