"Marius does beautiful tile work in a pleasant and professional manner. We replaced pipes in both of our showers and Marius did an excellent job at replacing the wall and installing tile in one shower and remodeling the second shower from acrylic to ceramic and marble tile. Marius was responsive and helpful every time I called him in the planning process. He is true to his name â ¦ a beautiful tile pro"

"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."

"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 Palatine, 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.
