Thank you Tile Cleaners ® for dealing with the solvent sealer I had and resealing my hallway; I know it's a pain but you did a great job. I will definitely call you again as I need help with my tiles in the office.

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.

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.

Other FAQs :

Q: Will the application of the color enhancer affect the texture of my slate floors?
A: When it comes to the color enhancer provided by Tile Cleaners®, rest assured that it will not have any impact on the texture of your slate floors. The application of the color enhancer is designed specifically to enhance the color of your surfaces, bringing out the natural beauty of your slate. You can expect the texture of your slate floors to remain unaffected while experiencing the enhanced color and intensified aesthetic appeal that the color enhancer provides.

Q: Do you offer color enhancing services for travertine? If yes, could you provide an explanation of the process involved in color enhancement?
A: Absolutely, we provide color enhancing services specifically designed for travertine. The color enhancement process involves the application of a specialized compound that enriches and intensifies the natural appearance of the travertine. By applying the color enhancer, the tiles' tones and hues are deepened, bringing out the inherent beauty of the travertine material. This treatment imparts a subtle wet or low sheen finish, enhancing the overall visual appeal of your travertine surfaces. Our color enhancing services are aimed at highlighting the unique characteristics and enhancing the aesthetics of your travertine.

Q: What does acid etching involve, and what measures can I take to safeguard my slate against it?
A: Acid etching refers to the corrosive damage caused to slate tiles by acidic substances, which can easily eat away or corrode the surface. Protecting slate against acid attack can be challenging due to its difficulty in sealing against such damage. To safeguard your slate tiles from acid etching, it is essential to promptly seal them and clean up any spills immediately. Given the high porosity of stone-based tiles like slate, sealing becomes crucial to provide protection against future acid attacks and liquid spillage. By adopting these measures, you can effectively minimize the risk of acid etching and preserve the integrity and appearance of your slate tiles.

Q: What is the typical time frame for resealing slate floors?
A: The duration required to reseal your slate floors can vary depending on the size of the area being sealed. Typically, most jobs can be completed within 4 to 8 hours. Our aim is to efficiently carry out both the cleaning and resealing processes on the same day, whenever feasible. This approach ensures that you won't have to deal with multiple appointments, streamlining the overall experience for your convenience.

Q: What is the appropriate method for measuring the size of the slate area that requires sealing?
A: To accurately measure the area of slate that requires sealing, we suggest measuring each slate area separately. The most straightforward method is to multiply the width by the length of each area. For instance, if a room measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width, the total area would be calculated as 3 X 2 = 6m². By measuring each slate area individually using this method, you can determine the precise measurement needed for the sealing service.
