Tile refinishing in Austin for tub surrounds, shower walls and floors
Pink, blue, maroon or just tired. When the tile is sound and the color is the problem, we refinish it in the color you choose. The grout lines are coated with the tile, so the wall becomes one sealed surface. The tub can be done in the same visit so everything matches.
Tile refinishing and tile reglazing: a new color on tile you keep
The same process as a tub
We clean off soap film and silicone, repair chipped or cracked pieces and etch the surface. Then the new finish is sprayed over the tile and the grout lines in several coats. Refinishing, reglazing and resurfacing are three names for the same work.
Where it works
Tub surrounds, shower walls, bathroom floors, wainscot, kitchen backsplashes, and locker room floors and benches.
Loose tile
If tile is loose or the wall behind it has gone soft, send photos and we’ll tell you what it needs before any refinishing.
Colors
Ten stocked colors are included. Most tubs go white or off-white, and the tile can match. Any Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore or Midwest Chemicals color can be special ordered for $150. All colors and finishes.

Grout lines, cracked tile and what refinished tile is like to live with
Grout lines
The grout is coated along with the tile, so it’s the same color as the finish and sealed.
Cracked or chipped tile
Repaired before the finish goes on: filled, sanded flush and refinished over.
Cleaning
A soft sponge and a non-abrasive cleaner, the same as a refinished tub. Skip scouring powders and acidic cleaners.
Soap dishes and fixtures
Fixtures are masked and stay in place. Holes from an old soap dish or towel bar can be filled and blended.
How tile refinishing works, done in place
Text a photo of the whole wall or floor and one of any damage. We quote the tile, and the tub with it if you want them to match. We mask the room and the fixtures, then repair, clean and etch the tile. The finish is sprayed over tile and grout together, and it’s ready to use in 24 to 48 hours.

Common questions about tile refinishing
Can bathroom tile be refinished instead of replaced?
Yes, when the tile is solid on the wall. The tile and grout are cleaned, repaired, etched and refinished in a new color, in place. Dated tile is one of the most common jobs we do.
Does tile refinishing cover the grout lines?
Yes. The grout lines are coated too, so the wall becomes one sealed surface.
Can you refinish a tile floor?
Yes. Bathroom floors and locker room floors are refinished the same way as tile walls.
Can you refinish the tile and the tub at the same time?
Yes. Tub, tile walls and floor can be done in one visit in the same color.
Is refinished tile covered by the warranty?
Yes. Every refinished surface carries a 5-year adhesion warranty: if the finish peels or lifts, we fix it. Abrasive or acidic cleaners void it.
What does it cost?
Tile is priced by the area covered and the repairs it needs. How pricing works, or text photos to (512) 452-4352 for a price.
