Many homeowners and even companies and institutions have asked us how they can change the color of their tiles without spending ridiculous amounts of money on it. You’ve probably heard about bathtub reglazing and its benefits. But did you know that our company can also refinish wall and floor tiles? In addition, we can change the color of the tiles in the process. Let’s see why this is a better option than replacing all the tiles. Also, we will talk a bit about our innovative anti-slip coating and about regrouting.
The Cost of Replacing Wall and Floor Tiles
Let’s face it; replacing all the wall and floor tiles in your bathroom and kitchen can cost thousands of dollars. The tiles themselves are relatively expensive, especially if you opt for quality models. However, the labor is even more expensive. Replacing tiles is not something you want to do if you have a better option. It is also not something you want to do if you care about the environment.
If you think replacing tiles has an acceptable cost, don’t forget about the mess caused by all the demolition and construction work. Also, don’t forget the cost of waste removal. Bottom line, replacing all the tiles in your apartment or house can be a pretty expensive and time consuming endeavor.
A Better Way: Resurfacing Tiles
If you would like to avoid most of the costs we’ve talked about, you should seriously consider getting an affordable reglazing service. For instance, our company can quickly resurface wall and floor tiles for you and also change their color. There are several benefits to reglazing tiles, such as:
- There is no construction work involved, so you don’t have to worry about debris and waste removal.
- The resurfaced tiles will look just like new ones.
- Refinishing the tiles costs just a fraction of the price of replacing them.
- Resurfacing is an ecological process. You don’t have to send all the old tiles to the landfill.
- Resurfacing prolongs the life of your tiles by 6 to 8 years.
- We can apply an anti-slip coating to prevent accidents (more on this in the next section).
Preventing Slip and Fall Accidents
We’ve mentioned an anti-slip coating in the previous section. Basically, this coating has a fine texture that makes slipping almost impossible. Our anti-slip solution works best for areas that are very slippery when wet. For example, we can apply them to the floor tiles in your bathroom. We can also apply the coating to the bathtub. Don’t worry, the coating can be cleaned using regular cleaning solutions (avoid harsh chemicals though) and is also resistant to scratches and water. The coating will not peel off, so you can expect to have an anti-slip surface for years to come.
Regrouting the Tiles
We know that you are probably wondering about what happens to the grout when we resurface the wall and floor tiles. The good news is that, in most cases, we don’t need to remove the grout. We can simply spray the primer, bonding and coating agents over the old grouting. In some cases though, we may need to remove certain parts of the grout. Maybe we need to repair some chips in the tiles, or maybe our expert considers that he can’t do a good job with the grout in place.
In any case, our company will regrout your tiles after the reglazing process is finished. However, we need to wait for the coating to cure before we start grouting to make sure we don’t damage the reglazed tiles.
Final Considerations
Nowadays, more and more homeowners, companies and institutions turn to resurfacing services. Replacing tiles, fixtures, cabinets and countertops is expensive and requires a lot of time and effort. Reglazing, on the other hand, is fast and relatively inexpensive. You also avoid all the hassle of demolition and construction work. However, the quality of the resurfacing depends on the contractor.
It is very important to work with a reliable team. The experience of the contractor and the quality of the agents used during the refinishing procedure greatly influence the end result.
