2. Expense - Replacing your tile can easily cost thousands of dollars. Refinishing your tile can save you as much as 80% compared to replacement. Refinishing is an inexpensive alternative to replacing your old tile.

Chip repairs are typically covered in the price of a standard refinishing job. We scrape and sand all the rough edges to prepare the surface for our repair materials. Then we carefully fill and sand the surface to prepare for the new coatings. Missing tiles can be replaced before refinishing and made to match the existing tiles. Our chip repairs and tile replacements are undetectable.

Depending on the process you choose, your tile and grout could be ready to use within a few hours. We recommend waiting up to 12 hours to ensure that the surface is completely cured and ready for use though.

Using your newly refinished tile too soon could void your warranty and lead to costly repairs. It pays to wait.
