TRANSFORMING A SWIMMING POOL AREA IN LIVERPOOL

Quality Tile Care • 3 June 2024

At Quality Tile Care, we pride ourselves on tackling even the most challenging projects to deliver exceptional results. Our recent endeavor in Liverpool is a perfect example of our commitment to excellence. We were tasked with restoring a newly restored swimming pool area with brand new tiles that had several issues, and we are excited to share the transformation with you.

Addressing Grout Haze and Missing Grout

When we arrived at the site, it was clear that grout haze was a significant issue. Grout haze occurs when residual grout dries on the surface of the tiles, leaving a dull, cloudy film. This can detract from the beauty of the tiles and make the entire area look unclean. Using our specialised cleaning techniques and products, we were able to effectively remove the grout haze, restoring the tiles to their intended appearance.

In addition to the grout haze, we found that some areas either had grout that had come away or were not grouted at all. Proper grouting is essential for both the aesthetic finish and the structural integrity of tiled surfaces. We meticulously filled in missing grout in these areas to complete the look and ensure durability.

Replacing and Adding Silicone Sealant

Another critical aspect of this project was addressing the silicone sealant. Silicone sealant is vital for maintaining a waterproof barrier around tiled areas, especially in swimming pools where water exposure is constant. Failing or missing silicone sealant can lead to water seepage, which can damage the underlying structures.
 
We replaced the failing silicone sealant and added it in areas where it was missing. This step is crucial as it prevents water from penetrating behind the tiles, which can cause a host of problems, including mold growth, structural damage, and tile detachment.

Tackling Salt and Mineral Deposits

One of the issues we encountered was the excessive buildup of salt and mineral deposits, evident as a white powdery substance on the grout. This phenomenon, known as efflorescence, occurs when water infiltrates the substrate beneath the tiles and dissolves soluble salts and minerals. As the water evaporates, it leaves these deposits on the surface.

The root cause of this problem was the missing and non-water-resistant grout, which allowed water to seep underneath the tiles. By sealing the new grout and ensuring it was water-resistant, we stopped further water infiltration and effectively managed the efflorescence issue.

The difference was truly remarkable. Our comprehensive restoration process not only removed the grout haze and repaired missing grout but also ensured that the entire swimming pool area was protected.

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.
