"Adam did an incredible job installing porcelain tile backsplash in our kitchen; he is professional, timely, organized, and maintained great communication throughout the project. He took time to properly address my concerns, mask, and prep my home none of my cabinets or flooring were stained. His care and attention to detail are second to none! I highly recommend AK Tile for your next project."

"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. "

"The floor tile in the shower of the master bath had to be replaced. Michael was so easy to work with and were able even to use the tile on hand which was even better. The tradesman who did the work knew what he was doing and am so pleased with the end result. I would definitely work with Miconi Marble & Tile again if needed. Nancy"

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