Why Renew Your Wall Tile?

When we renew your wall tile, we cover the grout as well. Just look at the photos! For you, that means no more dark, stained grout and no more intense scrubbing to try and clean it. Your wall tile will shine like it never has before, without any inconsistencies or lingering grout scum.

Here’s what our customers have to say about Surface Renew:

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

The company was great to work with. They responded quickly and made scheduling easy. We changed our minds on sliding doors to a shower rod, which meant they had to come back and make a small repair that wouldn't have been necessary had we stuck to our initial plans.

The quality and feel is way better than I expected. It doesn't feel like it was painted/refinished. It looks like it's always been white, but really it was initially a super ugly brown color.

Brandon and Aaron were the folks I worked with. They were awesome, friendly, and very helpful..

Nice job!

Andrew Burke

A special shout out to Brandon. He did an amazing job. Exceptional promptness, skill, personable, clean. We love the results. No more regrouting. They renewed the tiles in both of our bathrooms. They look brand new. Affordable too. Highly recommended.

I have used Surface Renew 3 times (my fault, not theirs) & I will use them again when I next need my bathtub resurfaced. They are efficient, friendly, & communicate throughout the process. I used another company once but they didn't wrap one of my claw feet & it has a white sheen on it now. Surface Renew has been thorough every time.

Melissa Cathart

I've used Surface Renew for years at the apartment complex I work at and recently used them at my home to resurface our tub. They do quality work, show up on time, and clean up after themselves. I highly recommend them.

Sheldon Drake

Would highly recommend! Surface Renew fixed our 3" wide chipped sink in under two hours. They quoted a price half that of their competitors. They were prompt in returning calls and alerting us before arrival. On-site staff followed all covid protocols, kept working area very clean and walked us through the repair. ❤

Michael Abata

From the moment I called and employed their services everything was done professionally and smoothly. The worker sent out was courteous, efficient and professional. My tub looks fabulous! …and even when I called to have them caulk around the drain they readily did that with no hesitancy. Also, there’s a five year warranty 😁 . I highly recommend Surface Renew and I would use them again if needed.

Our Process

After thousands of applications, we’ve mastered our process to give you the very best, hands-off experience. Here’s what you can expect:

01

Call Or Submit A Form.

You don’t have to rip out your tile or tub to make your bathroom look its best.

That’s where we come into the picture. Renewing is the affordable and fast alternative to replacing. 

We use a spray-on compound that hardens to a polished porcelain-like finish. White is popular, but we can do pretty much any color you have in mind. We’ll put an entirely new finish over the existing tub or tile in your bathroom. Your new bathroom’s finish won’t have any of discoloration, cracks, or dirty grout from before. It’s effectively the same impact as replacing, just without the big price tag and hassle.

Just like that, in one day, you’ll have the new bathroom you had in mind, quick and affordable.

We arrive.

On the day of your appointment one of our technicians will arrive. We ask that our clients have all loose items removed from the entire bathroom. The technician will introduce themselves and make an initial inspection of the item being resurfaced. 

Of course, if you have any questions about the process our technician will be happy to answer them.

Then we will begin work. Typically, we can get the job done in 4 hours. This may vary depending on the size of the job.

Once they finish the job, our technician will provide you with a care and warranty sheet. This will outline everything you need to know about how to care for your newly resurfaced item.

Please talk with your technician or call our office if you have any questions regarding your care and warranty sheet.

FAQ

Does the process smell?

Yes. But we're able to add in a scent like lemon or bubble gum that hides the smell entirely. The coating that we now use is low VOC and environmentally friendly. The new lower VOC coating results in a significantly lower smell that dissipates much quicker than older technology – without sacrificing any of the strength and durability our work is known for. We run a ventilation system out of the door or window to reduce the smell.

What is the new finish?

The finish that we apply is called an aliphatic acrylic polyurethane. It's a 2-part urethane invented by NASA several years ago. It is now used anywhere that a hard, long-lasting, durable finish is needed. Other examples would be airliners and oceanliners.The advantages of this finish over other products are:

  • Resistance to abrasion and scratching (holds up to normal wear and tear)
  • Impact resistance (won't crack or chip if you drop a shampoo bottle)
  • Resistance to extreme temperatures
  • Color retention (won't yellow like epoxy coatings)
  • This finish has been modified for use in the resurfacing industry.
How do I care for my new Wall Tile Refinishing finish?

Do not use abrasive cleaners like Comet or Ajax; even SoftScrub has some mild abrasives. However, you won't need to use abrasive cleaners since the new finish will be non-porous, and the dirt and grime should wipe away much easier than before. Use a "Safe for Acrylics" cleaner for regular cleaning. Many are available, such as Tilex and "Scrub Free" from Arm and Hammer.

How long does the tile refinishing process take?

We can complete most bathroom tile projects in less than a day. However, you should not use the bathroom for 4 hours after we are through.

What is the tile refinishing technique?

After thoroughly cleaning the tile, we apply an acid to remove the gloss from the original finish and etch the surface. Millions of microscopic holes are opened on the original surface, allowing the new finish to penetrate the old surface and create a bond. After the acid etch, we fill in any significant chips or holes, then thoroughly clean and dry the tile again. After that, we mask off the tile and all the fixtures, hang plastic sheets, and put tarps on the floor. In effect, we create a spray booth in your bathroom. We then mix a colored resin with a catalyst. A chemical reaction takes place and the new finish begins to harden. We work fast because we only have a couple of hours to work with it while it is still a liquid. We apply the finish coat over the tile using a spray system. It then penetrates and bonds to the old surface. Because we apply the new finish as a liquid, it molds to the old surface and fills in all of the pores, making the entire, hardened finish non-porous. The result is a finish that looks better, lasts longer, and cleans easier.

What about floor tile?

We can resurface floor tile, but we are not enthusiastic about it. In fact, we will try and talk you out of it. We want to give you a finish that will last for many years. But with floor tile, people will be walking on it with shoes. In addition, there is a strong likelihood of dropping items such as curling irons and hair dryers on the finish. There are many low-cost options available for floor replacement that we would recommend you look into before you consider resurfacing your floor.

What about the grout?

The new finish is applied as a liquid and covers the grout lines and the tile. 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 tiled bathroom. Anyone walking into your bathroom will think that you have new tile in your bathroom. A secondary benefit of resurfacing is that the finish will seal the grout off. This means that mold and mildew won't be as much of a problem. The result is that the tile is much easier to keep clean.

Why should I resurface my Wall Tile Refinishing?

Surface Renew's process for resurfacing/re-coloring tile is a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Replacing the tile in your bathroom can cost thousands of dollars more than refinishing. In addition, the new tile will not be the same quality as the original in most cases. The main reason most customers resurface their tile is to change the color. Many bathrooms have tile in good shape, but the color is out-of-date. They are tired of decorating around old colors like pink, peach, green, and yellow. At Surface Renew, we apply a new finish over the existing tile. We change the color, so you don't have to go through the time and expense of replacement. You'll get a new finish that will look like new tile. The new finish is strong and durable enough to last for many years.
