Tile Refinishing in Austin, TX
Transform dated, stained, or damaged tile without demolition. We refinish ceramic tile, shower surrounds, tub surrounds, and tile floors throughout Austin. Same-day service, professional results.
Why Refinish Your Tile?
Ripping out and replacing tile is expensive and disruptive. A full bathroom tile replacement in Austin runs $3,000-$8,000 and takes 1-3 weeks with contractors in your home. Tile refinishing costs $400-$800, takes one day, and gives you a fresh modern surface without the demolition.
Tile refinishing is ideal for:
- Dated color tile from the '60s, '70s, and '80s (pink, green, blue, yellow)
- Stained or discolored grout
- Cracked or chipped tile
- Shower surrounds that need a refresh
- Tub surrounds that don't match updated tubs
What We Refinish
- Ceramic tile shower surrounds
- Tub surrounds and wall tile
- Tile backsplashes
- Floor tile
- Tile countertops
- Tile around fireplaces
Our coatings bond to glazed ceramic, porcelain tile, and even natural stone in most cases.
Tub and Shower Surround Refinishing
One of the most common reasons Austin homeowners call us is a mismatch between a refinished bathtub and the original surrounding tile. We refinish the tub and surround together so the entire bathroom looks cohesive, in a single visit.
Our Refinishing Process
Tile refinishing takes 4-8 hours on-site depending on square footage:
- Deep clean the tile and grout
- Repair any cracks, chips, or damaged grout
- Sand or etch the surface for proper adhesion
- Mask all surrounding areas
- Apply commercial-grade bonding primer
- Spray-apply 2-3 coats of high-gloss topcoat
The refinished surface seals the tile and grout together into one uniform, easy-to-clean surface. No more scrubbing grout lines.
Grout Discoloration Solution
If your tile is fine but the grout has yellowed, darkened, or stained beyond cleaning, refinishing solves the problem. The coating covers both the tile and the grout, giving you a clean uniform look without regrouting.
Color Options
- White (most popular for shower surrounds)
- Biscuit
- Almond
- Bone
- Custom color matching
Changing a dated mauve or avocado tile shower to clean modern white is one of our most popular tile services.
How Long It Lasts
Professionally refinished tile lasts 10-15 years with proper care. Use non-abrasive cleaners, avoid bleach, and don't use abrasive scrubbers like Comet or Brillo pads.
