Steps Involved In Reglazing The Tiles

Tile reglazing is the process of refreshing the surface of faded or aging ceramic tile to a shiny new luster.

We also advise reglazing tile only where expensive, high-quality tile remains in fairly good condition and just needs a facelift. Otherwise, it is quite cheap to buy good new tiles. If any tiles are loose, missing or cracked, we are definitely better off replacing the whole set rather than reglazing.

Here is a step-by-step guide to tile reglazing, but do our self a favor:

1. Thoroughly clean the tile and grout. Also remove all caulk with a silicone digesting compound. Any remaining caulk can ruin the appearance of the new glaze.
2. Etch the surface with acid paste. Be very cautious when working with the acid. Wear heavy work gloves, long sleeves and eye protection, and work carefully to avoid spreading acid onto other surfaces.
3. Brush or spray on a high-quality epoxy primer. We have to make sure to evenly reach every single part of the tiled surface.
4. Spray on the urethane bathroom reglazing resin. The resin will take three days to cure, so the surface cannot be used or touched for 72 hours. Bear that in mind if we are thinking about reglazing tile in our only bathroom.
5. Add a final polyurethane clear coat. If this all sounds daunting, we are not alone. Unless we are a highly skilled and patient DIYer, we will likely be better off finding an experienced professional. When hiring out the job, be sure to check references and, if possible, look at previous reglazing jobs.
