Handyman At Your Command handles tile installation for homes in Odenton, Maryland. We set tile on kitchen backsplashes, shower walls, tub surrounds and bathroom floors. Laundry rooms and entryways get tile floors too. We also fix the tile you already have. Cracked and loose tiles get replaced, and cracked or stained grout gets redone. Other floor types, like hardwood, laminate and vinyl plank floors, have their own page. We work across Anne Arundel County, including Crofton, Gambrills and Severn.
Every tile job starts with a free estimate at the house. Our technicians measure the space and check the old tile for loose pieces and soft spots. You get a price before any tile comes out. Tile work comes in two kinds. New tile means tear-out, a sound base, then layout, thinset and grout. Repair work means cutting out a cracked tile or worn grout and replacing it. A tiled shower can also be one part of a bathroom remodel.

In the kitchen, we install backsplash tile along the counter run and behind the stove. A new backsplash can stand alone or come with a kitchen remodel. In the bathroom, we tile shower walls, tub surrounds and floors. Tile floors also go into laundry rooms and entryways. The right tile depends on the room. HomeAdvisor notes that porcelain is denser and absorbs less water than ceramic. That makes it a good fit for busy entries, kitchens and baths. Ceramic is lighter and easier to cut, and it suits walls and light-use floors.
Tile installation starts with tearing out the old tile and checking the wall or floor under it. Tile needs a flat, rigid base, since a surface that flexes can crack it. In tub and shower areas, the residential code lists which backer boards can go behind wall tile. Cement board is on that list, and plain drywall is not. Layout starts at the center, so the cut tiles at each edge come out even. Tiles go into thinset, a sand and cement mortar, and grout fills the joints. Where tile meets a tub or a counter, the seam gets caulk instead of grout. Rigid grout there would crack as the two materials move.
A cracked or loose tile can be replaced on its own when a matching tile is on hand. We cut out the grout around it, break the tile free and scrape off the old thinset. The new tile goes in level with the tiles around it, and its joints get fresh grout. A spare from the original job gives the best match. HomeAdvisor suggests ordering an extra 10% to 15% of tile for later repairs. Tile lines can be discontinued, so spares are worth keeping. When tiles keep cracking, the floor under them may be flexing. We check that before a new tile goes down.
Grout is rigid and porous. Movement in a house can crack it, and it picks up stains and mildew over time. Grout seals the joints against moisture, so cracked grout can let water in behind the tile. When the tiles are still tight, a shower can be regrouted instead of retiled. The old grout gets ground out of the joints, and new grout goes in. A full regrout is a chance to change the grout color. On a small repair, we match the new grout to the joints around it. Soft wallboard or a leak behind the tile needs water damage repair before new grout or tile goes up.
HomeAdvisor's 2026 guide puts professional ceramic and porcelain tile installation at $949 to $3,423 for the total project. The average is $2,111. Installed prices run $5 to $45 per square foot. The guide also prices tile by location. A backsplash runs $480 to $1,500, and a shower runs $1,800 to $5,000. Bathroom floors run $300 to $1,300, and kitchen floors run $800 to $3,000. Removing old tile and repairing damage adds $2 to $7 per square foot. Those are published market ranges, not our price.
The tile you pick moves the number. HomeAdvisor's published labor range is $3 to $15 per square foot. Mosaics and custom tiles land at the high end, since they take longer to set. Pattern counts too, and HomeAdvisor lists pattern complexity among backsplash cost factors. The condition of the wall or floor underneath matters as well. A smooth, sound surface saves labor, and a cracked or uneven one adds it. If a shower valve or drain has to move, a licensed plumber handles that part. We say so at the estimate.

Great customer service as well as great work quality. I had my fence bent down completely because of a storm and I called handyman at your command immediately. Even though it was after hours I still able to set up a time for someone to fix the fence first thing in the morning. The handyman was prompt and very nice.
I was finally able to get my master bath updated after 20 years of purchasing my home. Jose the owner of the company came out and held our hand from beginning to end. From demo to completion of the project, they always kept our home sparkling and clean which was a big deal for us as our child has respiratory issues.
I've been hiring Handyman At Your Command and working with Tracy for about 8 years now, and have always been completely satisfied and happy with their work. Recently we have had Hugo and Jose come out and they helped to find the source of a roof leak- then they repaired the ceiling drywall, painted, and also did other jobs around the house.
