The main reason that most customers resurface their tile is to change the color. Many bathrooms have tile that is in good shape, but the color is out-of-date. They are tired of having to decorate around old colors like pink, peach, green, and yellow. At Supreme Bath Refinishing, we apply a new finish over the existing tile. The color is changed without having to go through the time and expense of replacement. You will get a new finish that will look like new tile. The new finish is strong and durable enough to last for many years.
The new finish is applied as a liquid and covers the grout lines as well. The result is that the grout will be the same color as the tile. Because the grout is so porous, you will have the definition of grout – so it will still have the look of a tile bathroom. Anyone walking into your bathroom will think that you have new tile in your bathroom. A secondary benefit of resurfacing is that the grout will be sealed off. This means that mold and mildew will have a tougher time getting a foothold. The result is that the tile is much easier to keep clean.
