Vestibule Tile Repair?
Our Park Slope co-op is from 1910 and has mosaic tiles (shown in photo) in a 7 x 6 ft space. I need a referral for both replacement of less than 10 small tiles, minor grout fix and restore via power scrub and sealant. Please provide recommends and contacts.
Thanks

Nice!
I have seen patches with new tile in a modern shade of white, and I thought they looked good. But if you want an exact match, check out American Restoration Tile in Arkansas. They need a sample and take about six weeks to deliver. No minimums.

I used tiles from subwaytile.com for a bathroom with unglazed hex tiles like those pictured, however I replaced the whole floor rather than patching, so can't say how well the new tiles would have matched the old. Though comparing the new floor to an existing original floor in my house, the tiles look very very similar. I have seen many a hex tile floor that has been patched at some point(s) in the past and the patche never quite match perfectly.

I have exactly the same tiling in my house! And I also need about 20 replacements, so if anyone knows where to find them it would be appreciated.
Thanks

A & K tile on 9th St. should have them, if not they should be able to order it for you.
