We finished a tiled shower reglazing job in Lake Elsinore yesterday, and this was a two-day project that turned a rough-looking shower into a clean, bright space the customer could hardly recognize. The shower had been painted before, and like most painted showers, it wasn’t holding up. There was peeling in spots across the walls, and the entire bottom was flaking off. Paint and a wet shower just don’t last — it’s only a matter of time before it starts coming apart, and this one was well past that point.
The first day was all about the surface. I started sanding from the ceiling all the way down to the floor, taking off the failing paint and knocking down everything that was loose or peeling. On a tiled shower like this, you can’t rush that part. I worked through different grades of sandpaper, starting coarser to strip the old coating and moving to finer grits to bring the surface down smooth and even. By the end of the day, the whole shower was sanded out, top to bottom, and ready for the next stage. That kind of prep is what separates a finish that lasts from one that fails again in a season.
Day two started with a deep cleaning. After all that sanding there’s dust and grit everywhere, and none of it can be left behind, so I scrubbed the entire shower down until it was completely clean. While I was in there, I noticed some of the grout lines between the tile were missing or worn out, so I re-grouted those lines and filled them back in. Tile walls refinishing isn’t just about the surface you spray — if the grout is missing or cracked, water gets behind the tile and the whole thing suffers. Getting those lines solid again is part of doing the job right.
With the shower clean and the grout repaired, I masked off the entire room. Walls, floor, fixtures, and the shower door all got taped and covered. Shower reglazing throws a fine overspray, plus you’ve got the chance of drops, and I don’t want either landing on the glass door, the floor, or anything outside the shower. Sealing the room off completely takes time, but it’s the only way to keep the work contained and leave the rest of the bathroom untouched.
Once everything was masked and ready, I sprayed an epoxy primer over the whole surface to seal it. The epoxy primer locks down the surface and gives the topcoat a solid base to bond to, which is especially important on a tiled shower where you’ve got different surfaces — tile, grout, the smooth areas — all needing to take the finish evenly. Sealing it first with the primer is what ties it all together.
After the primer was down and set, I applied the bright white finish. That’s the moment it all comes together. The shower went from a peeling, flaking, painted-over mess to a smooth, glossy, bright white surface that looked brand new from the ceiling to the floor. It completely changed the room. The tile, the walls, all of it came out looking clean and fresh, and the whole bathroom felt brighter for it. The customer was thrilled with the makeover — that’s the reaction that makes the two days of work worth it.
This job was in Lake Elsinore, but we handle shower reglazing and tile walls refinishing all over Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange County. Peeling paint, flaking finishes, dated tile, missing grout — whatever shape your shower’s in, we can bring it back for a fraction of what a full remodel costs. We give honest estimates and we’ll always tell you straight what it’ll take to do it right.
