"Oscar runs his company, RH-Redo House, with the utmost of integrity. From the initial consultation, to the finished product, Oscar and Leonardo worked with precision and skill to install our porcelain tiles and baseboards. The beautiful result is due to the care and craftsmanship of Oscar and Leonardo. We never had to worry about removing/reinstalling appliances, and Oscar picked up materials as needed. The work areas, inside and out, were left spotless. We will hire Oscar for any future home project. Anyone would be fortunate to have a home project completed by this honest, skilled, hard-working man."

"We called Pacini’s Tile Works for help with deteriorating grout in our kitchen and shower. Owner Jeff got back to us right away and put his tile specialist Joe Lee on the job. Jeff scheduled our job quickly, which was great because we were worried about damage from water leaking through the old grout. Joe worked quickly and thoroughly, replacing broken tiles, fixing the leaking spot, and putting in new grout and caulking in the kitchen. He also replaced all the grout and caulking in the shower and repaired water damage in an area adjacent to the tub. He explained all the repairs very clearly and did meticulous work. We will be calling Pacini’s again to keep our tiled areas water-safe and beautiful—so happy to have found them!"

"We needed our shower floor retiled. Mario did a fantastic job! He came to look at space and discuss the project in advance at no charge. He brought tile samples that were perfect, coordinating with the wall tile and other finishes. Mario provided a reasonable cost estimate and did the job on time. He even used drop cloths to protect the carpet areas leading to the bathroom where the work was done. I was impressed he was able to cleanly remove the old tile without damaging the walls or surrounding glass. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Mario--he is communicative, kind, knowledgeable, careful, and flexible. I am grateful that our job was matched with Cubias Tile!"

"Excellent. We replaced a wood burning fireplace with a gas fireplace. We asked the company to see if they could remove the old tile without damaging it, a tricky task requiring some finesse. They managed to do that very well, and we were able to clean the old tile and have them place the tiles around the new fireplace which required a lot of precise cuts to fit the new fireplace size. They did a great job, and replaced/repaired and textured the sheetrock surrounding the fireplace. The workers were very neat and cleaned up everything when they finished. Highly recommended"

"Better than I imagined. I liked that it is a family business. Sam is a hard worker and was very thorough with each area he cleaned. They were both friendly and professional, and I felt very comfortable with their presence in my home. The were very conscientious of little details like cords coming out of the walls and giving me shoe covers to use while the carpets were still damp. I was very impressed that the carpet came out looking so much better than I had anticipated."

"Carlos and Ernesto did a fantastic job installing tile in two showers and on two floors in our home. They installed a tiled shower, walls and floors, and installed tile over a tub in our second bathroom. It has been several months since they installed and we still love the look and function of their job! We highly recommend their work."

"The installation of the copper piping involved removing all galvanized piping and installing copper from beneath the house. Some walls needed to be cut into in order to replace the piping. All sheet rock was repaired and re-tiled where needed. The finish product was like new. There was 2 or 3 men working at all times, always doing their best to least interrupt our daily lives.We never saw the men take a break or waste any time. Very impressive.. Everyone was very punctual, on time when they said they would be. Dave Sargent, owner and his supervisor, Jessie, were always available with helpful advice and supervising the project. If you are looking for outstanding quality of work and professionalism, this is the company you want to contact. Highly recommended -*/."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain repair projects in Palo Alto, CA

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.
