I noticed that some of the tiles in my bathroom walls were loose and the grout was coming off. I am a very busy so kept on postponing calling someone to fix it. One day I got home and the loose tiles were lying broken on the floor. Can you imagine my frustration? I rang my brother in panic and he gave me Tile Cleaners' contact details. I rang them straight away. The guys told me I needed a tiler and professional regrouting work done so I thought it would take ages to fix my problem. However they organized the work very well. I had my tiles fixed on Friday night the same week and the entire bathroom regrouted on Saturday. Thank you some much for your quick help; it was such a relief.

My mother's tiles were old and ugly, as she has been living in the same house her entire life without ever really taking care of her tiles. I called Tile Cleaners to get advice on what to do with them. They came to her house the next day to have a look at my mum's tiles. I am very satisfied with how patient and highly professional you were with my mother. I am sorry I couldn't be there when you arrived, and I am really impressed by how you managed to explain everything to my mom and help her out. Thank you for doing a great job.

I have several different freshly laid tiles in my new house. All pathways have stone tiles and there are marble tiles in the bathrooms and porcelain in the kitchen. I needed to get them sealed and was not sure if it was possible to seal them all. I contacted Tile Cleaners because my dad recommended them. He had a similar situation in his house and was very happy with the job Tile Cleaners had done. I was very worried about my tiles since they were brand new and very expensive. Tile Cleaners team were very patient with me, explaining how they were going to apply the sealer on different types of tiles, what sealer they would use, how long it would last for and advised me on how to take care of my tiles. I called Tile Cleaners a few times confirming details, asking for prices, making sure they could to the job during the weekend etc. The guys were amazingly patient and helpful. When I had gathered all the information I wanted, I was ready to go ahead. The work done by Tile Cleaners actually took less time than what it took me looking for information about it. Sorry for the pain I caused, and again thank you.

Q: What are the potential consequences of not sealing concrete floors?
A: Not sealing concrete floors can lead to various potential consequences. Without proper sealing, the surface of the concrete is susceptible to damage. Spills of oily or harsh substances can penetrate the pores of the concrete, resulting in permanent stains that cannot be removed through regular domestic cleaning methods. By not sealing your concrete surfaces, you risk permanent staining and difficulty in maintaining the fresh look and feel of the floors. Sealing the concrete provides a protective barrier, preventing such staining and accidental damage in the future. It helps to preserve the appearance of the surfaces, keeping them in their best condition for a longer period and making maintenance easier and more convenient.

Q: What is the recommended frequency for sealing polished concrete floors?
A: The recommended frequency for sealing polished concrete floors depends on factors such as the type of sealer used and the amount of foot traffic the floors are exposed to. Australia's Deepshield™ range of deep impregnating water-based sealers, for instance, offers long-term benefits, with Deepshield™ Gold providing protection for up to 15 years. On the other hand, topical sealers typically have a lifespan of around 3 years. However, it is important to note that high foot traffic or severe weather conditions, especially for outdoor concrete, can potentially shorten the lifespan of the sealer. Additionally, the condition of the surface plays a role in determining when resealing is necessary. If you notice patchy areas or the floors are staining easily, it may be a sign that resealing is needed. Feel free to contact us for further assistance and any inquiries you may have regarding sealing your polished concrete floors.

Q: What are the indicators that suggest it is time to clean, strip, and reseal polished concrete surfaces?
A: You will know it's time to have your concrete floors stripped, cleaned and sealed once they begin to appear dull or "matte" even after you have given them an efficient regular clean. If you notice that your concrete surfaces are staining easily, it's a good indication that your previous sealer is wearing off and your concrete floors will need to be resealed immediately to prevent permanent staining.

Q: What is the recommended method for measuring the size of a concrete area for the purpose of determining the square meterage?
A: To accurately measure the size of a concreted area, we recommend measuring each area separately. The process is straightforward: multiply the width of the area by its length. For example, if you have a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, the total square meterage would be calculated as 3 meters multiplied by 2 meters, resulting in 6 square meters in total. By measuring each concreted area individually using this method, you can ensure accurate calculations of square meterage for pricing and other purposes.

Q: What is the pricing structure for the stripping and sealing services provided by Tile Cleaners® for concrete surfaces?
A: Tile Cleaning applies a pricing structure based on the square meterage of each separate room when providing stripping and sealing services for concrete surfaces. You can find a detailed price list on the Tile Cleaning website, allowing you to review and assess the costs associated with the desired services. Prior to commencing the work, the team will conduct individual room measurements, confirm the scope of work, and provide a comprehensive cost breakdown to ensure transparency and clarity. By following this approach, Tile Cleaning aims to provide a clear understanding of the pricing structure and deliver accurate cost estimates to their valued customers.
