About tile reglazing
The coating covers tile and grout together, so the old pink, blue or green is gone. The wall still needs to be solid and free of leaks.
Materials: Ceramic and porcelain wall tile, grout
- Dated tile colors. Mid-century pink, baby blue, mint green or harvest gold wall tile you're tired of looking at.
- Stained, cracked grout. Grout lines that look dirty or crumble, even after re-grouting attempts.
- Mismatched replacement tiles. Patched areas where new tiles never quite matched the originals.
- Dull, crazed glaze. Fine surface cracking in the original glaze that holds grime.
- Selling or renting soon. A fast, affordable way to make listing photos and showings look current.

we don't recommend reglazing high-traffic floor tile. Coatings wear through under shoes and furniture; floors are better replaced. Wall tile is where reglazing shines.
Tile Reglazing FAQ
Can you reglaze bathroom floor tile?
We don't recommend coating high-traffic floor tile. Shoes, grit and furniture wear it down. Bathroom wall tile is a better fit.
Will the grout lines still show?
Yes. The lines stay as small recesses, but they're coated in the same color as the tiles.
Can you reglaze tile a color other than white?
Yes. Send your photo and preferred color, and we'll talk through the options.
Can you do the tub and tile together?
Yes. Doing the tub and tile in one visit keeps the color matched and saves a second setup.
How do I clean reglazed tile?
Use mild liquid soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders and strong acid cleaners.
