"Greg Arnone is a true professional. He is knowledgeable and detail oriented. We had a horrible complicated mess on our property involving a washed out driveway, soil retention issues, grading issues, as well as water problems under an important workshop. It was a big job. Greg offered technical solutions in a clear and focused manner, and we were super impressed with all the ways his foresight and project management approach came together. Our property was long neglected and needed a lot of drainage solutions in order to flourish, and Greg made sure that our yard and workshops are now easily maintained and able to grow beautifully. I would not hesitate to hire Diversified Trades for any job on your property. My wife and I plan to call Greg for a number of future projects. He is straightforward, hardworking, pleasant, and committed. Highly recommended!"

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Ancram, NY

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.
