BRINGING LIFE BACK TO NATURAL STONE FLOORS: A QUALITY TILE CARE SUCCESS STORY

Quality Tile Care • 5 January 2025

At Quality Tile Care, we pride ourselves on transforming tired and neglected surfaces into stunning, like-new features. One of our recent projects involved the restoration of a beautiful natural stone floor that had endured years of dirt build-up and grout residue. This was no ordinary floor—it was textured, which made it especially difficult to maintain without proper care and sealing. Here's how we tackled this challenge step by step.

The Challenge: Years of Stubborn Dirt

The natural stone floor had not been sealed for years, leaving it vulnerable to dirt and grime accumulation. The textured surface exacerbated the problem, as dirt clung stubbornly to the tiles, making cleaning a constant struggle for the client. Grout residue also added to the floor’s dull and grimy appearance. The client’s primary goal was to restore the floor to its original beauty and ensure it would be easier to maintain moving forward.

Step 1: Deep Cleaning Tiles and Grout

The first step in the restoration process was a thorough deep clean. Using professional tile and stone cleaning products, we worked meticulously to remove years of grime and residue. For this, we:

  • Applied specialist Fila cleaning solutions tailored for natural stone surfaces.
  • Used brushes and pads attached to a rotary machine to scrub the textured tiles effectively.
  • Used a wet vacuum to extract the dirty water, ensuring no residue was left behind.
  • Neutralised the surface to prepare it for sealing.

This process revealed the true potential of the stone, already hinting at the transformation to come.

Step 2: Allowing Proper Drying Time

Natural stone is porous, which means it’s crucial to let it dry completely before applying a sealer. We allowed the floor to dry for several days to ensure the best results. Proper drying is an essential step in achieving a long-lasting seal.

Step 3: Sealing with Fila Stoneplus

The client chose a colour-enhancing impregnating sealer to bring out the natural beauty of the stone while maintaining a matt finish. We used Fila Stoneplus, a premium-quality sealer renowned for its performance and durability. This product not only enhances the colours of the stone but also provides robust protection against stains, dirt, and moisture.

  • Why Fila Stoneplus?
  • It penetrates deep into the stone for maximum protection.
  • The colour-enhancing properties highlight the stone’s natural hues without making the surface glossy.
  • It’s highly durable, making it ideal for textured surfaces that see heavy use.

The Result: A Floor That Looks and Feels Like New

The transformation was remarkable. The natural stone floor now boasts vibrant colours and a clean, natural finish. With the protective seal in place, the floor is no longer a magnet for dirt and is much easier to maintain. The client was thrilled with the outcome, and so were we!

Outdoor porcelain tile patios add elegance and functionality to any home, creating the perfect space for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the beauty of nature. However, patios are continually exposed to weather, foot traffic, and daily wear and tear. This leads to a gradual buildup of grime, algae, and mud that can make the surface dull, slippery, and unsafe. Recently, Quality Tile Care took on a project in the lovely town of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, where we transformed a porcelain tiled patio back to its original glory with our thorough, professional deep cleaning service. The Initial State: A Patio in Need of Serious Cleaning The Alderley Edge patio had not been deep cleaned for quite some time, and the impact was evident. Mud, algae, and dirt were layered across the tiles, turning them dangerously slippery. With the goal of restoring the patio’s look and ensuring its safety, the homeowner reached out to us. At Quality Tile Care, we offer top-tier tile and grout cleaning services for both residential and commercial spaces across Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Derbyshire, and Liverpool, including locations like Altrincham, Stockport, Wilmslow, Knutsford, and beyond.
SHOWER BATH TILE, SILICONE SEALANT AND GROUT RESTORATION. COVERING MANCHESTER; Liverpool, Lancashire
by Quality Tile Care 26 September 2024
At Quality Tile Care , we recently took on a shower bath restoration project that turned out to be a perfect example of how professional tile and stone cleaning can breathe new life into your bathroom without the need for costly replacements. If you’ve been living with discoloured grout lines, dirty tiles, or mouldy silicone, there’s a more affordable and effective solution. Read on to see how we restored this shower bath to its former glory! The Problem: Dirty Grout and Mouldy Sealant In this project, the shower bath area had been suffering from the common issues faced by many homeowners: Dirty and discoloured grout lines that detract from the overall appearance of the bathroom. Mouldy silicone sealant around the bath and in the corners of the shower area, which is not only unsightly but can also lead to bigger issues like water damage if left untreated. These are typical signs of wear and tear in bathrooms, especially in areas exposed to high levels of moisture. While it might be tempting to consider a full replacement, we know that expert cleaning and restoration can be just as effective—and much more cost-efficient.

At Quality Tile Care, we love bringing outdoor spaces back to life, and our recent patio renovation project in Westhoughton showcases our dedication to quality and detail. This patio had seen better days, with algae, black spots, and worn-out grout making it look tired and aged. We're thrilled to share how we completely transformed it into a fresh and inviting space once again. Step 1: Old Grout Removal Our renovation process began with the careful removal of the old brush-in grout. The existing grout had been incorrectly applied by a previous business and was already coming loose in several areas. We meticulously removed all the old grout, ensuring a clean and smooth surface to work with. This step was crucial in preparing the patio for a fresh application, setting the foundation for a long-lasting finish.
