At JP Glazing, we're constantly amazed by how our tile refinishing service transforms outdated bathrooms into fresh, modern spaces. Today, we're excited to share a recent project that perfectly demonstrates the dramatic difference our professional refinishing can make.
The Challenge: Vintage Blue Tile That Had Seen Better Days
When our client in Worcester contacted us, they were dealing with a common bathroom dilemma: vintage blue subway tile that dated their bathroom and created a dark, closed-in feeling. The bathroom featured:
Seafoam blue subway tile throughout the shower and tub area
Black accent border tiles that further dated the space
A functional but aesthetically tired layout
Limited natural light that made the blue tiles appear even darker
While the bathroom was structurally sound, the color scheme made it feel like a relic from decades past. The homeowner wanted a fresh, contemporary look without the expense and disruption of a complete renovation.
Our Solution: Professional Tile Refinishing
After assessing the bathroom, we recommended our professional tile refinishing service. This approach would:
Preserve the existing tile structure (which was in good condition)
Transform the color scheme completely
Create a bright, modern aesthetic
Save thousands compared to tile replacement
Complete the transformation in just a fraction of the time
The Transformation Process
Our refinishing process involves several careful steps to ensure a durable, beautiful finish:
Thorough preparation: We meticulously cleaned and prepared the surface, removing any soap scum, oils, or residues that could interfere with adhesion.
Professional masking: As you can see in the photos, we carefully masked and protected all fixtures, floors, and areas not being refinished.
Surface etching: We applied specialized products to create the ideal surface for maximum adhesion.
Expert application: Our technicians applied multiple coats of our professional-grade refinishing product in bright white.
Curing and finishing: The new surface was allowed to properly cure for maximum durability and longevity.

The Results: A Bathroom Transformed
The difference is striking! The once dated blue bathroom is now a bright, fresh space with contemporary appeal. The white tile brightens the entire room, making it feel larger and more open. The crisp finish gives the bathroom the appearance of a complete renovation at a fraction of the cost.
Our client was thrilled with both the results and the process:
No demolition mess or disposal fees
Transformation completed in just two days
Savings of approximately 75% compared to tile replacement
Environmentally friendly solution that kept perfectly functional tile out of landfills
A durable, easy-to-clean surface that will last for years
