"Stacey Raskey and his colleague did a paint job of our home and shed that far exceeded what I thought was possible in terms of quality and durability. They calked places that have never been sealed before, and their use of peel-bond probably extended the lifecycle of our T1-11 siding by twenty years. I don't believe it is possible for water to infiltrate or for sun to crack our siding. The gentlemen were incredibly focused and unobtrusive, and their preparation of the house for painting is what gave me confidence in how well this paint will last. In the midst of a peak project season Stacey guaranteed he would be finished by a particular date, and he made good on the promise - which was critical to the homeowners in this instance. There was no mess whatsoever for the homeowners to clean up, and I have yet to find one spot of over-spray. I know from researching a lot that the price for our paint job was very reasonable. We could have paid less for a far inferior job; and I'm sure we could have paid slightly more for a good job from a larger company. Margins are thin for everyone out there, and picking this particular contractor was the "just right" balance of fair price for extraordinary quality. Chugiak Restoration and Custom Tile does far more than faultless paint jobs. In July they tiled the back splash for our new kitchen (separate review) and will return this fall to tile our new gas fireplace. We look forward to the next job we need done by such professional, astute contractors."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Douglas, AK

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.
