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.

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.
