Homeowners spend thousands of dollars per year replacing bathroom tiles. There are many reasons why some choose to have their tile replaced, but two common reasons are that the tile is outdated, or that it’s worn and in need of repair. Whatever the reason, replacing bathroom tile is not always the best choice. Reglazing offers a simpler, less expensive solution for homeowners to consider before replacing bathroom tile.
Reglazing allows owners a way to cover an existing, and often outdated, design on existing tiles without the hassle or cost of tearing out the old tiles. This process is also known as reglazing, refinishing, or resurfacing. During this process, a professional will first etch tiles that are still glossy and thoroughly clean each tile. Then, thin layers of enamel are sprayed over the existing tiles, covering the old color, and creating a brand-new look.
Benefits of Reglazing
One major benefit to reglazing bathroom tile is that it costs significantly less than replacing. Often, bathroom tile is just one phase homeowners might be considering towards a more complete bathroom remodel. The remodeling process to overhaul a bathroom can be exceedingly expensive. There can be unintended costs that come up when homeowners attempt to remove an old tub, for example. Plumbing issues are commonly created and discovered when renovating. Renovation can come with many surprise factors that can drain any budget. Reglazing typically costs the homeowner less than half of the cost of retiling the bathroom. It provides a simple way to get the look of new tile, without the demolition mess or surprise costs. Homeowners can save money for other areas in need, while still adding considerable value to their home by reglazing.
Another important benefit of reglazing instead of replacing is in the time saved. Replacing tile can take many days to complete alone. When there are other big tasks to complete as well, the timeline can be stretched to weeks and even months. Tile reglazing can be completed within a day, and ready for use within 24 hours.
Conclusion
If you are unsure of what to do about your bathroom tile or are in the process of a bathroom renovation or remodel, do not assume replacement is the only way to a new look. Reglazing is a fast, cost-effective solution that will bring your bathroom tile back to life.
