"Nathan and Joe were very helpful in starting the process by answering all of my questions. I had chosen a tile for the floor, and also tile, accents, corner shelving and niche that was made by them for the shower. I think I did a pretty good job choosing the tile but they did an even better job installing it. I love it, my bathroom looks beautiful and modern now!! They did excellent, clean, precise work. I would recommend them to everyone."

"Contractor team led by Bobby tore out my existing tile shower, re-waterproofed the space, then tiled and grouted a new complex tile arrangement. While the shower did go in successfully, I had the following issues: 1) They damaged (broke) some of the floor tile, which I discovered after final payment. They offered to replace it if I can find the proper tile. neither the contractor nor I were able to find a matching tile therefore I elected to leave this broken. 2) They reinstalled the shower controls and head incorrectly so only the overhead flow works, but not the handheld which should be able to be toggled to. Lost pieces of the shower. And so there was like a flow control feature, that wouldn't work. We reach out to the manufacturer and thought they knew which part was based on like the video we sent them and they sent us that part and didn't work because I ended up having to buy an entirely new shower which cost me like 300/350 and I put it up myself. The contractor like did offer to pay for it but like ultimately I decided just like it was fine, 3) At each stage they asked me to go hunt for tile and/or accompanying products. Overall they got the job done, but it wasn’t great work and I’m going to have to pay another pro to fix some of the things that these guys did. Overall they got the job done . And took some extra time to remediate . Issues. They were very communicative and worked with me to remediate the problems. That were reasonable to fix. And therefore I consider working this contractor again."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Akron, OH

People use the terms refinishing, resurfacing, and reglazing interchangeably. Refinishing is a process that repairs old tiles and gives them a fresh new coat of finish. This is also called tile resurfacing or reglazing.

Yes, you can refinish tiles as a DIY project, but it’s important to follow all the steps involved. These include the following:

  1. Clean the tiles or hire a local tile cleaning service to remove all the residue (soap film, oil, grease, and dirt).

  2. Etch the tile to ensure the refinishing solution adheres properly.

  3. Fill in any cracks or chips in the tile.

  4. Recoat the grout.

  5. Repair any missing or damaged caulking where applicable.

  6. Apply the refinishing product, primer, and enamel.

Your newly reglazed tile should last between 10 and 15 years with proper installation. However, higher-traffic areas and moisture may result in a reduced life span. Explore the cost of different tile types to determine which material works best for your home and needs.

Your bathtub and tile refinishing cost will likely seem like a small price to pay for the transformation it offers. Provided your tile and grout are both intact, refinishing will bring a brand-new style at a fraction of the cost.

Yes, most ceramic tile is paintable with specific epoxy or tile paints. However, you’ll want to avoid areas of heavy use or moisture, such as countertops, showers, and bathtubs. Paint can crack, bubble, or wear away over time, especially on floors.
