Loading... Ceramic tile refinishing is the only practical way to reproduce the look of original tile. The beautiful glaze you see in ceramic tile is baked on in kilns at temperatures ranging from 900F to 2500F. The term tile reglazing is a misnomer as it is impractical to remove ceramic tile that has been installed and ship it back to the factory for re-firing in a kiln. Refinishing is a much better option to replacing ceramic tile. It is not only more practical, but also less expensive than new tile and you avoid the mess of removal and replacement. It is also far superior to a porcelain tile repair kit.

You can even do decorative painting on ceramic tile. The only tile I would never paint is that ceramic tile within a shower or above a bathtub.

- When we think about ceramic tiles, we usually think of the common glazed ceramic tiles that are used in kitchens and bathrooms throughout the world. In fact, while glazed tiles are often referred to simply as 'ceramic tiles', their unglazed counterparts are almost always referred to as 'unglazed ceramic tiles'.fter the ceramic tiles are fired, a thin coat of liquefied glass is applied over the top surface. The glass is what makes glazed tiles so highly moisture and stain resistant and what gives them their colour. Unglazed ceramic tiles, while not as stain resistant as glazed tiles, are not as slippery.
