HOW MUCH MONEY DOES TILE REGLAZING SAVE?

I think we all can agree that $5,000 sounds a lot better than $1,000, right? Well, on average, that is how much you can save by reglazing your bathroom tile as opposed to replacing it.

HomeAdvisor says, tile glazing “is more affordable than replacement, costing on average $1,075 versus anywhere between $850-$3,000 to install new materials. The cost to remove tile also adds to the overall price of a full replacement.”

As tile contractors come to your home to give you an in-person estimate, ask them how their replacement and reglazing processes differ. While the costs above are good starting points, your local bathroom glazing contractor may charge different amounts based on the cost factors mentioned above.

Reglazing Tile Uses

Over time, bathroom tiles can really show their age, resulting in an appearance that’s something less than desired. Replacing this tile in or around a shower or a bathroom sink can be a major undertaking. Ripping apart tiles can also damage the surrounding walls and even the tub if not done properly.

Reglazing basically restores luster to the tiles and breathes new life into their appearance and function. Some common tile areas in the bathroom that can be reglazed include:

• Showers
• Floors
• Walls
• Counters

Reglazing is recommended for certain surface tiles including ceramic tile, cultured marble, fiberglass, porcelain tiles and some laminate tiles. For DIY projects, you need to make sure the glazing compound is compatible with what it’s being used on.

ADVANTAGES OF TILE REGLAZING

1. We first start with cleaning the tile as well as the surrounding area to remove any oil, dirt, or other debris from the site.
2. Next, we evaluate the tile for damage like cracks, then we begin etching the tile and repairing chips so the refinishing agent can bond with the tile correctly.
3. After we apply a primer to the tiles and begin to recoat the grout.
4. During our final step, we will inspect the work area to ensure there are no cracks or damage to caulking or grout then we will apply the final coat of enamel.
