Tile is the surface that dates an Irvine bathroom faster than anything else. The 4x4 almond and mauve tile in a Woodbridge or Northwood bathroom was fashionable once; now it's the reason the room feels thirty years old. Ripping it out means demolition, new backer board, waterproofing, new tile and grout, and weeks without the bathroom.
Tile reglazing changes the color and seals the grout in one visit. We repair cracked or loose tiles, clean and etch the surface, then spray a durable coating over the tile and grout together. The result is a smooth, modern wall or floor in the color you choose, with grout that no longer stains because it's sealed under the finish.
Tile we reglaze in Irvine
- Bathroom tile walls
Wainscot and full-height tile walls in ceramic, porcelain and glazed tile.
- Shower and tub surround tile
Tile walls around tubs and showers, sealed with the tub or pan for a seamless look.
- Tile floors
Bathroom and laundry room tile floors refinished with a slip-resistant additive.
- Tile countertops and backsplashes
Vanity and kitchen tile counters resurfaced into one smooth, easy-clean finish.
- Grout lines
Sealed under the coating so mildew and stains have nowhere to go.
What tile reglazing fixes
If your tile has any of these problems, reglazing gets you a modern bathroom without the remodel:
- Pink, mint, yellow, almond, mauve or other dated colors
- Mildewed, stained or crumbling grout
- Dull, scratched or etched glaze
- Cracked or chipped tiles (repaired first)
- Hard-water film and soap scum that won't come off
- Busy patterns or borders you want gone
- Tile that's fine but doesn't match a refinished tub or sink
Guaranteed in writing
Every tile surface carries a 2-year written warranty
Your reglazed tile walls, floors or counters are covered against peeling, bubbling and loss of adhesion for two full years. Tile floors get a slip-resistant additive and a care sheet that keeps the finish looking new.
Tile refinishing for Irvine's older villages and condos
Irvine's first villages, University Park, Turtle Rock, Woodbridge, Northwood, Westpark and the older parts of Tustin and Costa Mesa next door, are where most of the original tile lives. Reglazing lets you modernize these bathrooms for a fraction of a remodel and keep the character of a well-built older home.
For condos and townhomes, tile reglazing avoids the demolition noise, dust and HOA paperwork of a tear-out. The whole job happens behind a masked door in one visit, and nothing goes to the dumpster.
