"Greg is a true professional. Very creative with our two tile mural projects. He was very proficient in taking out the existing tiles that were within a tiled boarder on our stucco patio walls and replacing with the new murals. First of all it was very difficult to find the exact size murals that were the dimensions of the former murals. Greg, with his years experience, suggested various alternatives. What a craftsman! The end results were terrific! You would never know that the new murals were a replacement. He is very tidy with his clean-up at the end of the day(s). I am looking forward to my future project(s) with him. I definitely recommend Greg for any tile projects! Thank You!"

"Great experience working with Kole and his employees. They showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves everyday and took pride in their work. Very flexible as well as knowledgeable in advising ideas as the project progressed. They worked hard and stayed as long as necessary each day to complete each days work. Friendly, personable, and very trustworthy. We are very pleased with the finished tile work for our bathroom and walk in shower."

"We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Rene and his team. They installed a new backsplash in our kitchen and the quality exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail was outstanding. They were thorough with the cleanup after the job was done, which made the entire experience even better. It’s clear they take great pride in their work snd care about their customers. I recommend R.G. Tile to anyone looking for high-quality tile work and exceptional service."

"Bid had to be adjusted up a bit for desired tile (he forgot which one we selected), but was still lowest bid received. When work started we had to pay a bit more for additional thinset to even out the concrete floor height (there was sort of a hump in middle of room). Normal hiccups of any job and within planned budget. Took less than a week and he did a good job cleaning up after completion. Results were beautiful and well worth the cost to us. We also have a small number of spare tiles to repair minor future damage."

"Scott is the best when it comes to tiling! I had three separate remodeling projects in my home (2 full bathrooms and kitchen) and Scott did a wonderful tiling job in all of them. There’s one example that I remembered when he was tiling the kitchen floor. I purchased the tiles but he was showing me that some of these tiles were uneven (i.e. not completely flat), but he made sure to try to use the best of the tiles that I had so I wouldn’t have problems. That really showed me that he takes pride in his work as well as making sure that I had floors that don’t give me problems later on. Thanks again, Scott!"

"They cleaned 6 month old grout haze off my porcelain tile floor plus covered a dye stain on the grout. And removed rust off my brick patio. Also fixed grout in the kitchen. Good price and easy to work with."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Cardiff By The Sea, CA

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.
