Porcelain tile restoration projects like these are really rewarding. We can immediately envision the end result. So, it is therefore, a real honour to be able to work through the process and showcase the results to our clients.
Our clients wanted to sell their property. Their estate agent had advised them to get their hallway tiles professionally restored. This would allow them to get the best possible price for their property. After attempting to get the floor cleaned by different tradesmen and trying themselves, MCS Stonecare were recommended. This was a great opportunity for us to complete a test patch on the tiles.
Porcelain Tile Restoration – Our Inspection:
On inspection, there were patches of old sealer, paint splashes etc all over the floor. These had accumulated over the years by messy tradesmen. After completing a cleaning test area, our clients were very happy to go ahead.
After protecting the surrounding areas, a stripping cleaning solution was applied and worked into the floor tiles to remove the patch and damaged seal and paint etc. The floor was then cleaned with steam and a powerful extraction system. After drying the floor off, an impregnating seal was applied and dried. This leaves the floor looking how it should have done when it was first laid.
Ingrained dirt and dullness is a slow, creeping process. It is often not until your floor tiles are professionally cleaned that you realise their true colour. And it is always a wonderful part of the process to see our clients reactions to their beautiful stone floors.

Regularly cleaning porcelain tiles will help stop dirt building up on their surface. This is the same whether we are discussing floor tiles or shower tiles.

Porcelain specific cleaning solutions are available. It is always advisable to use stone-specific solutions as this will likely avoid any further damage being caused. Even as a manmade tile, the surface of porcelain tiles can still be damaged by harsh cleaning products. [...]
Cleaning tiles and grout needs to come hand in hand. So many forget about the grout lines when contemplating cleaning stone tiles. Errors can be made when completing routine cleaning. Essentially when you introduce water or cleaning fluid onto tiles and start moving it around, you are likely to push dirt and grime into the grout lines. Even attempting to be careful will not be enough to avoid this. Why? Grout lines are slightly dipped so therefore gravity carries the dirt into these areas. Cleaning Tiles and Grout – What cleans grout best? There are many grout cleaning solutions out [...]
There is a big difference between routine cleaning porcelain floor tiles and full restoration. These can clearly be broken down in to these two different sectors.
