They can create new tiles that match the design and dimensions of the existing hand-painted tiles. This way, you can replace only the damaged or worn-out tiles while preserving the overall look.

Professional tile restoration services can clean and repair the existing tiles, reapply any faded paint or glaze, and bring them back to their original appearance.
