Outdated bathroom; could reglazing really work?
brasov
Moss tile (w/dark green trim), pink bathtub and checker board pink and gray floor tile...Yes, another 50's bathroom disaster! (what were they thinking?!). Well, all are in perfect condition, which makes it even harder to decide which piece of 50s I want to preserve. But, anyhow, I've been thinking REGLAZING would be the solution for me (at least for one of those items). I've been reading a lot about it and stumbled across tons of pros & cons arguments which made me even more confused. So, if any of you here tried it, please share your experience; does it work over the years, and which method did you use; could it work well for a floor ? Thank you.

If it's within your budget loose the green tile and work with the pink and gray. Glazing is not for floors due to excesive wear. Think in terms of period features. (Very) Light gray walls, White Trim on molding and windows, ceiling and of course "Crown molding." Mix lighter tones of the main color features you do have, there is a wide range of pinks and grays to choose from. Glazing is a quick fix that will last a few years at best. Remodeling a bath will actually give you increased value to your home so if at all possible don't scrimp.

Thanks aussieblnd. I've been contemplating myself the gray/pink/white combination and I think it could look very elegant. All my fixtures are white, excepting my pink bathtub, which might look like an enhancement (rather than an eye sour) once blended in this combination...and the floor is quite unique. Yes, maybe I'll have to loose the tile (it's a shame, because the craftsmanship they put in it has no flaws, plus the tile covers around almost all the bathroom; so, lots of demolition ahead ...well.)
