Shower and ceramic tile surfaces can become stained, dull, chipped, difficult to clean, or simply outdated over time. Reglazing restores the existing surface with a clean, refreshed finish without removing the tile or rebuilding the entire shower.​
​
When the existing tile and shower surfaces are still in sound condition, professional reglazing can be a practical way to update their appearance and extend their useful life.
Our Shower & Ceramic Tile Reglazing Process
Inspection, Caulk Removal & Repairs
We inspect the shower and tile surfaces, remove old caulk where needed, and repair chips, cracks, and other surface imperfections before refinishing.
Cleaning & Surface Treatment
A chemical treatment is applied to thoroughly clean and prepare the tile surface, creating the proper profile for strong primer adhesion.
Why Reglaze Shower & Ceramic Tile Surfaces?
Masking & Primer Application
Fixtures and surrounding areas are carefully masked and protected before primer is applied to create a strong bonding layer for the new finish.
Professional Finish Application
The finish coating is applied evenly across the prepared tile and shower surfaces to create a smooth, clean, refreshed appearance.
Final Inspection & Curing
After the finish is applied, the shower and tile surfaces are inspected and allowed to cure properly before returning to normal use.
Why Reglaze Instead of Replace?
Removing and replacing shower tile can involve demolition, debris, new materials, waterproofing work, and additional labor. When the existing tile and shower surfaces are still sound, reglazing can dramatically update their appearance without tearing out the entire shower.
​
Professional reglazing preserves the existing surfaces while giving the shower a clean, refreshed finish with far less disruption than a full remodel.
Shower & Ceramic Tile Reglazing FAQs
1. Can outdated shower tile be reglazed instead of replaced?
Yes. If the existing tile is still in sound condition, reglazing can update stained, faded, worn, or outdated surfaces without removing and replacing the tile.
2. Can I change the color of my shower tile with reglazing?
Yes. Reglazing can change the appearance and color of the existing tile, giving the shower a cleaner, more updated look without a full remodel.​
3. Can chips, cracks, and surface damage be repaired before reglazing?
Yes. Minor chips, cracks, and surface imperfections can often be repaired and prepared before the refinishing process begins.
4. How long before I can use the shower after reglazing?
Most reglazed shower and tile surfaces should remain unused for approximately 24 to 48 hours while the finish cures. Actual cure time can vary depending on conditions and the coating system used.
5. How should I clean reglazed shower and ceramic tile?
Use non-abrasive cleaners with a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders, and harsh chemicals that can damage the refinished surface.​
6. Does shower and ceramic tile reglazing come with a warranty?
Yes. Excellence Reglazing provides a 5-year warranty on its refinishing services, subject to the warranty terms and proper care of the refinished surface.
