Quality Tile Care • 5 February 2019

Victorian Hallway Tiles Restoration in Glossop, Greater Manchester, SK13

Victorian Tile Floor Cleaning Manchester

On this job we got contacted by a customer from Glossop who found us from google searching for Tile restoration service. Luckily for both of us, she found us. Handsome market town Glossop is the north western gateway to the Peak District and Derbyshire - close to the rugged moorland and wide open spaces of the Dark Peak. Nestling at the foot of the famous Snake Pass, it's an excellent base for exploring some of the area's classic walking country, including Black Hill, Bleaklow, Kinder Scout and the Longdendale Valley.
She used our free survey service to get a quote. After cleaning tester was done on the floor, we agreed on price and booked dates for this victoriantile floor cleaning and sealing.

Victorian Tiled Floor Cleaning and Old Sealer Stripping

On arrival we started off cleaning victorian floor with our alkaline based cleaner. We made a strong mix and left it to dwell on the floor for about 15 minutes. This was followed up by scrubbing the Victorian tile floorwith scrubbing pad fitted to rotary machine. Scrubbing finished we removed all soiled water with wet vacuum and rinsed the floor.

After chemical cleaning we used our 200 grit diamond burnishing pad to remove any of the last sealer left on floor and grind off any ingrained dirt from tiles. We used some water as a lubricant and removed all soiled water from floor with wet vacuum. As always machine doesn't do all the work so we had to get on hands and knees and used our diamond hand pad to go over places where machine didn't reach. Some had painted over white discoloured tiles with white paint, all these painted tiles needed scrubbing with 200 grit hand block.
When we were finished with victorian tiles cleaning we did an acid application to prevent any efflorescence coming through the tile floor and then left the floor to dry till the next day.

Sealing Victorian Tiled Floor

Next day when we returned to seal the hallway floor, we first checked the tiles with our damp tested and discovered few damp areas. With old floor like this it's expected to find some dampness. We used our heatguns for about an hour to remove the problem areas.
For sealing the victorian tiles first we used colour enhancing impregnating sealer which leaves a natural matt finish while bringing out the colours. This floor took 2 coats of the sealer. After every coat we left it to dwell in for about 15 minutes and then removed the sealer excess from tiles with soft cotton cloths.
After applying impregnating sealer we left the sealer to dry in tiles and returned after two hours.

On return we started sealing this Victorian Tile Floor with water based topical sealer. Our topical sealer is film forming sealer, which leave a nice smooth and glossy finish.
To apply the topical sealer we used our paint pads. We added 4 coats till we got the desired result. In total this floor got sealed with six coats of different sealer, which makes it properly protected for years to come.

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.
