In Portland, OR, a variety of tile refinishing methods are available to cater to different needs. Our approach varies depending on the specific requirements of your tile. While the end result may appear similar, the preparation process significantly differs based on the surface we're resurfacing. For some tiles, a thorough cleaning and clear coat are sufficient to restore their shine, making them look brand new. In contrast, others may necessitate a more intensive treatment involving deep etching and honing to eliminate deep scratches or pitting before the refinishing process can commence.

We offer 3 levels of tile refinishing. Basic, Deluxe and Best. See our pricing.

Minor tile repairs are typically included in the cost of a standard refinishing job. We meticulously scrape and sand any rough edges to ready the surface for our repair materials. Subsequently, we delicately fill and sand the surface in preparation for the application of new coatings. Our tile chip repairs are skillfully executed and virtually undetectable.

Alternatively, you have the option to solely pay for a tile chip repair without refinishing the entire area.

We offer three different warranties based on your needs. Our Basic Tile Refinishing process comes with a one year no-peel warranty. Our Deluxe Tile Refinishing comes with a five year no-peel warranty. Our Best Tile Resurfacing comes with Portland's only Lifetime No-Peel Warranty. This costs a little extra, but ensures that you are covered if the surface ever starts to peel.
