Professional Tile Refinishing & Reglazing

 

How To Tell If Your Tile Needs Refinishing

Over the years, tile surfaces in your bathroom and kitchen will have to deal with a lot of wear and tear. There are three main things you should watch out for when your tile begins to age. These things are cracking, chipping, or staining. If you notice any of these things, this is an indicator that your tile needs repairs. Of course, it is cheaper to repair the tile than it is to replace it in almost every circumstance.

Does your home have bathroom tile, countertops, or backsplashes? Chances are that if your home was built before the 1990’s, it still may have the same tile. Over time, you may have noticed that the tile has started to lose its shine, or it’s coating altogether. If this is the case, typically you might be looking at spending thousands of dollars to have the tile removed and replaced. However, a cheaper and easier solution can be found in our tile refinishing and reglazing services in St. Louis. Our team at AAA Tub N Tile has years of experience helping home and business owners save money by refinishing their existing tile surfaces.

How Refinishing Your Tile Can Save You Money

Most of the cost that occurs when you are updating your bathroom comes from the labor involved in the removal of the old tile. Removal, especially in a space where you may want to keep demolition to a minimum, can cost you both money and time. This is mostly due to the care at which the tile needs to be removed. However, our St. Louis tile refinishing and reglazing services process skips the removal steps eliminating any cost associated with removal. To start with our process costs less than just having new tile installed, not to mention that it can be done quicker than complete replacement. This saves you both time and money in the long run and will make your tile last for years to come.

The Tile Refinishing Process – Step By Step

Step 1 - Clean and Prep the Surface

The first step in the tile refinishing and reglazing process is to clean and prep the tile for refinishing. This is a multi-step process that is designed to remove any dirt, residue, and other buildup from the tile.

Step 2 - Repair Cracks and Damage Grout Lines

The second step of the refinishing process is to repair any damages you may have.

Step 3 - Etching the Tile

This is one of the most important steps in the tile refinishing process. Etching the tile prepares the surface to properly accept the finish.

Step 4 - Applying the Finish

After the tile has been etched, our team will apply the finish you have selected to the tile. This is really where you see your vision come to life.

Step 5 - Caulk The Tile

Once the finish has dried, we caulk around the edges to ensure the tile is watertight.
