"This is the 4th project we’ve used Exotic Tile for. They are professional, communicate well, show up and complete jobs on time. They’ve done two fireplaces, a bathroom floor and now a backsplash for us. All look perfect. We won’t go anywhere else for tile. I highly recommend at least having them get you an estimate if you’re looking to have tile work done!"

"He provided an estimate for tiling a backsplash, half bath and laundry room.  He seemed very knowledgeable and experienced.  I went with another contractor due to time constraints."

"I hired Tom to reglaze our bathroom almost a year ago now, and was thinking about it as I need another bathroom done.

Tom and his son spent about two and a half days reparing and glazing the tile walls and tub in my bathroom.  While here they were polite and professional.  At the end of the job, the bathroom looked great other than some drip marks on the tile walls in about ten different areas.  I asked Tom if he could fix this, and he said it would smooth out as it cured over the next couple of weeks. I still paid him given his good track record on Angie's List.   The drip marks never smoothed out.  I called him three times over the next couple of months and he never returned my calls.

Overall I am still happy with the job.  The tile walls look about 10x better than they did before, at a cost much less than replacing the tiles and tub.  Though when you look closely, you can see the drip marks.  I am mostly upset that Tom never returned my calls, and felt obligated to submit this report.  (I don't normally give bad reports.)  Now I have to find someone else to reglaze my other larger bathroom."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Lakewood, OH

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.
