Most tile doesn’t need replacing

Ask a remodeler about a dark shower or a dull floor and you'll probably get a quote for new tile. Usually the tile itself is fine. What you're seeing is dirt worked deep into the grout, worn-out sealer, a few cracked pieces, or stone that has lost its polish. All of that can be fixed.

​

Mike deep cleans, recolors and seals grout. He repairs cracked tiles without tearing them out, and he polishes and seals travertine and marble. You keep the tile you chose, for a fraction of what replacement costs.

​

Sometimes replacing is the right call, like when tiles are loose or water has gotten behind them. If that's what Mike finds, he'll tell you.

What Mike restores

Deep cleaning and sealing for tile floors indoors and tiled patios outside. Dark, stained grout lines come clean.

Polishing and sealing for travertine and marble, filling for travertine holes, and sealing for stone countertops.

Cracked, stained or moldy grout replaced and sealed so your shower looks new again.

Cracked tiles repaired without tearing them out, and damaged grout fixed in place.

A water-based epoxy stain that gives worn grout one even color and seals it at the same time.

Meet Mike McMahon

Mike has been restoring tile, grout and natural stone since 1998. He started out on his own, then built a grout restoration company in Phoenix into a franchise before selling it in 2000. In 2001 he started ICS, short for Innovative Chemical Solutions, and earned his California tile contractor's license the same year.
