This week has been about redoing some poorly glazed stuff. This tub & tile was done about a year & a half ago. Started peeling due to the coating being too thin, and the lack of a quality primer. His entire job was about as thick as my epoxy primer coat. Owell, this is what keeps me busy I guess. And absolutely no concern for the top edges where the tile meets the wall… who needs caulking anyway🙄

Nothing says late 80s more than a sea shell soap holder in a shower… ugh.
This tile is textured & impossible to replace on short notice. House is getting sold & needed to lose the blue & latch up the 40 holes from the old grab bars.
As far as glazing over tiles, these tiles are my absolute favorite when they are done. The texture always looks sharp instead of plain old 4x4 tiles.

Reglazing of a tub & tile along with a vanity top. This owner was mobility impaired, so lots of grab bars & a funky extended tub spout. It’s going up for sale, so it needed some attention.
Patched up the +40 holes & chips, removed the edge tiles & made the blues go away & replaced most of the fixtures.

This is why you always have to double check everything. American standard toilet, that somehow got sold without any quality control checks.
