Resurface Cultured Marble Surfaces

Joe Papa and his son John, owners of New Surface Technology, were highly recommended to me by Home Advisor.  After trying the yellow pages with absolutely no luck I called Home Advisor.  They connected me to New Surface Technology.   Mr. Papa called back immediately and came out the next day to make a bid.  He explained how he would resurface our Cultured Marble surfaces in our bathrooms including sinks, cabinet tops, bathtub and walls around them and still be able to see the marbling of the original surface.  We were having new faucets installed in our bathrooms and since it had been 28 years since they were put in, the surface around the existing faucets had stained and the new faucets would not fit the same shape to cover the stains.  Joe Papa and his son worked with our plumber and made the counters and walls look almost new.  They worked hard and diligently making sure we were satisfied and reworked any spots they were not happy with also.   The surface looks great and there are no stains around the new fixtures.  My wife and I could not be more pleased.  I highly recommend New Surface Technology.

"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process.

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile a shower as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you’ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more.

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. 

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
