"Marius was great to work with. He did a great job tiling four bathrooms, kitchen backsplash, mudroom tile, and fireplace surround. He made suggestions that made the tile appearance better even though added more work to his job. Overall project was performed on budget, within the time frame he provided, and looks a great. He worked with ceramic, porcelain, and marble in this job. We recommend Marius for any tiling work."

"Steve did an outstanding job on my bathroom! I am extremely happy with every aspect of the work he did. His attention to detail is excellent! For example, he installed marble-like tile in my bathroom and he made sure that the gray streaks in the tile lined up and flowed perfectly from tile to tile. I would recommend Steve to anyone who wants excellent work done by a very nice and conscientious person with high integrity and a commitment to excellence. I've already recommended him to my sister and I will be calling him back for more projects in my home."

"Avanti Stone was incredibly transparent and informative throughout the entire process, giving me a clear picture of current status and next steps in the project. The resulting work was high quality and the team was flexible given a hiccup we experienced from the place we bought our tiles (unrelated to Avanti). I wouldn't hesitate to use Avanti Stone again if I needed to do any tile installation."

"Working with this company was incredibly simple. I move into my new home and there were over 20 porcelain tiles that were cracked on my kitchen floor. Luckily previous owners had spare stock. Received quote in a day and once I approved they were on site within a week repair took one day and I am very satisfied with the quality of work. I recommend asking for the grout color seal so all your grout will be a perfect match. Floor looks brand new again."

"Kyle and his team came in thousands under Mr. Floor" and responded quicker after a catastrophic pipe break destroyed the bathroom, floors and walls of our condo. His team installed the flooring throughout our unit and installed floor to ceiling bathroom tiles astoundingly fast. We couldn't be happier with the work done, and WE ARE BACK IN OUR HOME! Kyle and his team were professional, courteous and sensitive to our issue. They were knowledgeable and explained their work as they went. Estimates were fast and spot on. This was an insurance job. We appreciated Kyle's willingness to work within that environment. Highly recommended. Thanks, Footprints Floors!"

"They did a great job. The owner reached out quickly, and provided a quote for the job. We had water damage from a neighbor in our closet. Memo sent us options for keeping the cost down and materials we needed. Arrived on time, were professional and very expedient in completing the job. He detected some additional mold that the remediation company did not. Very honest and reputable company."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Evanston, 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.
