"From start to finish, The Grout Medic completely exceeded our expectations. And I'll tell you why... Neil, the job estimator, was our first point of contact. He is extremely knowledgeable, a joy to work with, definitely loves his job, and is laser focused on providing total customer satisfaction. If you have him come out and do a free estimate for you, be prepared to learn what can turn a good shower into a moldy mess, with tile damage, leaks, bad smells and more! This will not be a generic sales call. Rest assured that the purpose of Neil's visit will be to diagnose the specific causes of your grout/tile concerns, and to propose a truly professional well-informed and customized solution to resolve the issues. If you think this sounds kind of over-the-top, ask Neil about the plague of many showers: Blocked weep holes. You will then begin to understand the depths of his knowledge. In our case the job was done exactly as proposed, by a very talented and capable gentleman named Harry. He worked alone as this was a small job, but he knew exactly what he was doing, just as you'd expect from an experienced professional. He was also supported throughout the workday by Neil who popped in frequently to make sure all was going according to plan. Neil also remained available by phone at all times, which was a big plus. The pricing for the service was calculated as part of a very detailed and accurately itemized proposal. At the end of the job, we felt that the excellent quality of service we received was totally in line with the pricing. In fact, I think we came out ahead... There were quite a few unexpected little extras that came along with the job as a much appreciated surprise. For example, all of our glass shower doors and chrome hardware were left crystal clean and beautifully polished. Plus, the old yellowed shower door seal strips were removed, with new ones trimmed to size and replaced. All of this at no extra cost! Note: we provided the replacement door seal strips. You will be quite impressed with The Grout Medic's custom steam cleaning equipment. It's nothing like a traditional carpet cleaner! And finally, all the cleaning products they use have a wonderful, fresh scent that puts many commercially available cleaning products to shame. So go ahead, call The Grout Medic! We're so glad we did."

"Hargrave did an amazing job with repairing our kitchen floor. We have laminate boards that had been water damaged. He took them up and what he took the time to replace them with matched perfectly, better than we were concerned about. More than anything else we needed the job done quickly for an upcoming municipal inspection and he went above and beyond on quality while still sticking to that quick turnaround time we needed. He was fast, efficient and thorough. His price was beyond reasonable and his customer service skills are also excellent. We have already started passing his name around to local friends & family and will continue to do so."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Chicago, IL

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.
