Tile Floor Refinishing & Reglazing
Tile floor refinishing restores a worn, dated bathroom tile floor in place — grout lines sealed, dull or discolored tile recoated, and an optional slip-resistant texture added — for a fraction of what tearing it out costs. Reglazing and resurfacing are the same service under other names: a durable coating bonded to the floor you already have, ready for foot traffic in 24–48 hours.

What is tile floor refinishing?
Tile floor refinishing — also called reglazing or resurfacing — restores the surface of your existing bathroom floor tile and grout instead of demolishing it. We deep-clean, repair cracked grout and chipped tile, etch and prime, then apply a floor-grade coating that seals the grout lines and leaves the floor smooth, uniform and easy to mop. Floors take more abuse than walls, so we are honest about which floors are good candidates and which are not. It is the floor-specific version of our tile & wall refinishing service.

Floors take more abuse than walls: foot traffic, grit and standing water all land there. Refinishing holds up well when the tile underneath is sound — and poorly when it is not.
Good candidates Refinishing
- Bathroom, powder-room and laundry-room floors with firmly bonded tile
- Dated colors or patterns on tile that is otherwise in good shape
- Stained, discolored or mismatched grout lines
- Surface scratches, dull glaze or light etching from harsh cleaners
- Small chips or hairline crazing in a handful of tiles
- Tiled shower floors, done with the walls or on their own — see shower pan refinishing (a soft fiberglass shower floor is an inlay repair instead)
Not a good fit
- Structural cracks running across several tiles — usually the slab or subfloor moving
- Loose, hollow-sounding or lifting tile
- Grout that has failed across the whole floor with water getting underneath
- Active leaks or moisture coming up through the floor
- Kitchens, entries and commercial floors with grit and heavy wear
- Materials other than glazed ceramic and porcelain — we will tell you on inspection
Loose tile and structural cracks cannot be coated over: the movement that caused them will crack any finish on top. If we find them, we say so at the free estimate and point you to a tile setter. Everything else — grout, chips, color, gloss — is what refinishing is for, often paired with a bathtub or tile shower on the same visit. Our guide to refinishing tile showers and walls covers how the coating handles wet areas.
5 Simple Steps to a Like-New Finish
Our proven process has been refined over 10 years to deliver consistent, stunning results every time.
*Repairing chips, cracks and other damage may carry an additional cost, quoted upfront before we begin.
Inspect & Clean
~30 minWe inspect the fixture and deep-clean the surface to remove soap scum, body oils and residue.
Acid Wash
~20 minAn acid wash strips and opens up the surface so the new coating can bond permanently.
Surface Refinishing
~90 minThe heart of the job, done in three stages. Repair: every chip, crack and worn spot is filled and repaired for a smooth, solid base. Sanding & surface prep: the entire surface is sanded and prepped so the new finish grips and lasts for years. Deep wash: a final deep wash removes every trace of dust and residue so nothing interferes with the coating.
Prime Coating
~30 minA bonding primer is applied as the foundation for a durable, lasting finish.
Reglaze
~60 minMultiple coats of commercial-grade coating are sprayed on for a smooth, glossy, like-new finish.
Professional Equipment & Techniques
Our technicians use commercial-grade spray systems and premium coatings for a factory-new finish every time.

Slip-resistant finish, cure time and care
Grip, how long to stay off it, and how to keep it looking new.
Slip-resistant additive
A fine anti-slip texture can be mixed into the floor coating for more grip when wet — a good idea in showers and family bathrooms. It changes the feel of the floor slightly and is quoted on inspection, so mention it when you request your estimate.
Cure time before foot traffic
Keep everyone — pets included — off the floor for 24–48 hours before normal foot traffic. Leave bath mats and rugs off for about a week so the coating fully hardens underneath them, and keep the room ventilated.
Keeping it clean
Sweep up grit and mop with a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid scouring powders, stiff brushes, bleach or acid-based products and steam mops. Felt pads under a hamper prevent scratches, and a refinished floor never needs grout sealer again. Full instructions are in our aftercare guide.

Frequently asked questions
Tile floor refinishing starts at $400 and is quoted by the square footage of the floor, its condition and any repairs. Refinished tile typically costs 60–70% less than tearing out and re-tiling. Estimates are free.
Yes. Bathroom, powder-room and laundry-room floors with firmly bonded ceramic or porcelain tile are good candidates. We refinish around the toilet, vanity and thresholds without removing them.
Loose or hollow-sounding tile, structural cracks across several tiles, failed grout with water underneath, active moisture and heavy-traffic entries. Movement or moisture will crack any coating, so we tell you at the estimate and recommend a tile setter instead.
Yes. A fine anti-slip texture can be added to the floor coating for better grip when wet. It is optional and quoted on inspection — ask for it when you request your estimate.
Keep everyone, including pets, off the floor for 24–48 hours after coating. Leave rugs and bath mats off for about a week so the finish can fully harden.
Stained or discolored grout is cleaned, cracked sections are repaired, and the whole floor is coated so tile and grout become one sealed, non-porous surface. You will never need to seal the grout again.
Sweep up grit and mop with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft mop. Avoid scouring powders, stiff brushes, bleach or acid-based products and steam mops, and use felt pads under anything that sits on the floor.
With proper care a refinished tile floor lasts 5–10 years; floors see more wear than walls, so keep grit swept up. Every job is backed by our written 2-year warranty against peeling and coating failure under normal use.
