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.
