    DIY Porcelain Tile Floor Refinishing


    We have porcelain tile floors throughout the entire living space of our home. The acrylic finish appears to be coming off, which has left the floor looking awful. A professional tile refurbisher told us that he would have to remove the remainder of the finish. Next, he'd have to apply a natural finish to the tile. This would cost about $1,200. Please advise if we can do this ourselves.

    Acrylic finish on Porcelian tile?? I have laid a lot of porcelian tile and never seen an acrylic finish on them. Have the floor polished properly to have this removed,, may have been appiled as a sealer, The natural finish of the tile should be fine. $1200 is a very reasonable price.
