"CDH restored 2 antique tubs for me, each over 100 years old. He was very flexible working around my schedule and extremely helpful and informative explaining the process. The tubs are beautiful! Top notch service. I can't wait to get them installed."

"My old chimney required a lot of work. The owner made sure the job was done right. I am very satisfied, and believe I got my moneyâ s worth. Both the owner and his crew were very polite and respectful, and cleaned up their work area well before leaving. The repaired chimney looks good."

"We were on the fence about doing a major remodel in our master bathroom. The tile was old looking and a little worn but was only 5-7 years old I’m guessing. We decided after many quotes to “refresh” the bathroom and try to get another few years out of our current set up. We called Marble Life because they offer the grout sealing service that would help us tremendously. Michael was very responsive and came out to quote the project after giving me a rough estimate over the phone. We chose some colors to make the tile look clean and fresh and coordinate with the new paint. He repaired the cracked/missing grout, cleaned the shower floor and removed the old grout and caulk (about five different repairs had been made it seems), and then applied some seal at to the shower floor to help it last longer. The whole process took about 1.5/2 days for my floor, tub area decking, backsplash, and shower. It looks clean and brighter... now I don’t cringe when I take a shower. If you’ve never sealed your grout, I HIGHLY recommend it. It’s a breeze to clean and resists mold. He also used the appropriate grout caulk around the perimeter where the wall and floor meet so that it won’t crack again with the settling of the house. I am going to use them again to seal my floor in the kitchen, entry, and laundry room. They do excellent work, excellent clean up, and are very professional. I couldn’t be happier!"

"We were very happy with every aspect of our floor installation. Javier was on time and had neat appearance. His work was impeccable and his work area kept neat and clean. We do not have one negative regarding this job and plan to have him back for other work we need done. Price was fair."

"Went well and the tub looks great. However, when the onsite guy was replacing the tub overflow cover, he did not have the correct one and installed a different type. The existing cover had (2) screws holding it on. The new cover he installed only had (1) center screw which was a little bigger than the existing screws. So he pushed back the drain piping and installed a bracket with a center threaded hole so the new cover would install. When he did this he created a gap between the tub overflow and the drain pipe. This then resulted in overflow water leaking out on top of the downstairs ceiling below when the tub was filled up or when splash water went out the overflow. A couple days after the job was completed that bathtub was being used and water started leaking out of the downstairs ceiling. Contacted Clinton from CDH and he went and looked at it and stated that he didn't think it was anything they did. I finally cut an access panel in the adjoining closet to gain access to the tub piping and found why it was leaking. Clinton was very proactive and got a plumber out there to fix it. So the tub resurfacing went well but was disappointed in the leak and now I need to fix the downstairs ceiling which shouldn't be too hard to do. I know anyone can make mistakes but once I found out why there was a leak, it seemed to me like the guy that did the work should have known better."

"After receiving a few other estimates on a sunroom addition plus a screened in porch, we decided to go with Legacy Windows. Mark’s estimate was in the middle of the other estimates and he offered much more flexibility than the other companies we spoke to in terms of customization. He is a great salesman with previous marketing experience. We signed our contract on April 10th. We were told that Mark and his crew were finishing a room and would be able to start in 2-3 weeks with a timeframe of 6-8 weeks for completion of our room addition project. The budget and timeframe worked well for us, so we decided to add replacement windows for the rest of our house (11 windows total). Several weeks went by and our project had not yet started so we followed up with Mark. We were told that there were issues with his current project (did not pass inspection) and it would push our start date back due to the workmanship repairs. During this time period before any work began on our project we would communicate often with Mark to check on the status of our project. The really frustrating thing about working with Mark is his inability to fulfill commitments he would make to us in regards to project timing and when things would be done. Our primary communication with him was via text messages and time after time he would tell us, “we should be starting next week” or “we are going to be making up for lost time quickly” and time would pass and it just wouldn’t happen. Work on our project began when our existing windows were replaced in early June. The foundation for the expansion was finally started in late June and framing started in early July (roughly 3 months after signing the contract). The first crew completed the framing, hired the shingles out, installed some of the cedar siding, and installed one wall of windows. We were seeing decent progress after having such a long wait in the beginning, all the while the commitment issue just kept popping up. We would get a text saying something like, “going to be at the house tomorrow with some stone samples” and he wouldn’t show up. It was annoying, but progress was being made and we were happy with how the expansion was taking shape so we were willing to overlook it. Sometime toward the beginning of August (roughly 4 months after signing the contract), work just stopped. Again, when we would reach out to Mark asking about the status of our project we would be told, “I’ll have an action plan later this afternoon” or “we want to get everything we done we can this week” or “the crew will be there tomorrow and we will be working all week on your project trying to finish”. In the meantime, nothing would be done and we would repeat the process. This went on for over 3 weeks, during this time there was absolutely no work done. Large piles of construction trash and building materials sat in our yard during this time. A great deal of the usable wood began to warp and I am sure that ultimately materials had to be tossed from being left in the elements for so long. After a couple weeks I finally moved a significant portion of the usable wood up onto the deck so it would at least be partially protected. We found out that there was an issue with the electrical and Mark had decided to let Crew #1 go as they were not meeting his expectations, but it was not communicated to us until the end of the over 3 week period. A second crew then arrived who Mark said usually only did work for him on the south side of Indy (we live in Lebanon), but he wanted to get our project back on track. There seemed to be little to no communication between the crew and Mark on what they were supposed to work on so we had to explain to them what was in the contract to be completed. Crew #2 also started making good progress, they finished the cedar siding, got the rest of the windows installed in the sunroom as well as installing the sunroom ceiling. About this time, which was at the beginning of September we had a separate crew come out to do the drywall. Mark recommended them very highly. As it turned out, the drywall was not properly installed or insulated (in some walls there was no insulation), and ultimately it had to be taken down and redone by Crew #2. Crew #2 seemed to be doing a really good job and we were quite pleased with their progress and the quality of work they were doing for us. They were replaced by Crew #3 sometime in mid-September. We were never told why they were replaced, but Crew #3 was much closer to where we lived so I assume that had something to do with it. Much like when Crew #2 started, there seemed to be little communication between Crew #3 and Mark on what they were supposed to work on. So we again had to explain what was in the contract to be completed. All through the process, the commitment issues mentioned previously continued. We were not as happy with the quality of the work done by Crew #3 as we had been by Crew #2 (or even Crew #1), but they did finally complete for the project for us and after (3) failed attempts we finally received a pass from the building inspector on his final inspection. When Crew #3 decided they were finished they never came back, we communicated multiple times with Mark about the remaining punch list items to no avail and ultimately decided to finish most of the small punch list items ourselves instead of waiting any longer for them to finish (clean up, sanding / finishing drywall, etc.). We love the way the sunroom and covered porch area turned out. From contract signing until the end it took a little over six months, but in Mark’s defense he did agree to let us add a brand new window in the dining room of our house to tie everything together at no cost to us as appreciation for our patience. There are things that we liked about Mark’s company and things we didn’t, I have tried to summarize each category as follows: Positives • Price seemed reasonable • It is truly a custom build, no problem with changes we had at any point • Love the way it turned out, looks amazing • Mark seemed to genuinely care about the quality of the product he was delivering to us (he replaced the cedar shakes that had been installed by Crew #1 because he wasn’t happy with the quality Negatives • Our project seldom felt like it was a priority, part of the reason it took so long was because they were over committed on other projects • Commitment Issues (addressed previously) • Construction Trash left in our yard for months • We cleaned up inside more than they did, I understand drywall work is messy. They never swept up any of the dust and they didn’t clean up any of the clumps of dried drywall mud all over the floor. • We finished some of the minor punch list items, just to be done."

"Neicy did an amazing job.  I am a long term renter (10+ years) and while I am neat, perhaps clean is not my strength.  Neicy came in and moved all my stuff to clean out the corners of the apartment.  She moved all the books and cans and junk to deep clean the apartment and then put them neatly back (and better organized than I had them).  She cleaned the bathroom better than new.  I've never seen the refrigerator and stove so sparkling. 
I enthusiastically recommend her.

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Lafayette, IN

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.
