Testimonials

We got our tiles more than 25 years ago. We were told that we had a solvent sealer on our tiles, which apparently most companies wouldn't be able to strip off. However we rang a couple of places to check them out. No luck. A friend of mine recommended Tile Cleaners. We rang the guys and they agreed to have a look the next day. We decided to go ahead with the job after getting a satisfactory quote. Tile Cleaners team stripped and resealed our old tiles. We are very grateful for your help guys. Thank you again.

I just got new tiles laid in my house that were very expensive. I needed to get them sealed but couldn't afford to pay much for it. On the other hand I didn't want to go for a company offering cheap and unreliably services. My boss recommended Tile Cleaners, saying that the company's prices were reasonable and that they offered quality service when he used them. I contacted them and ended up doing a booking with them. It is very pleasant to know that there are companies out there who actually care about providing very high quality services for affordable prices. I gave your contacts to my sister. Thank you for the job you did

When I moved into my new house, I was shocked by how dirty and old the tiles in the entire house looked. I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be like that or if they were just really dirty. I decided to call Tile Cleaners and ask them to have a look and tell me what I could do to improve the look of my tiles. Tile Cleaners ® came the same weekend and managed to make my tiles look brand new. They also informed me that the sealer would protect my tiles for years to come. Amazing! Thank you guys! My floor looks gorgeous.

Q: How can I determine when it is necessary to have regrouting done?
A: It is important to consider regrouting as soon as signs of yellowing, mold growth, discoloration, or the grout starting to deteriorate become noticeable. While the damaged grout may not appear too severe on the surface, it can create a potentially hazardous situation behind the tiles. In some cases, the grout may be leaking water, which could be attributed to missing or cracked grout. Even small holes or hairline cracks can lead to significant issues. Therefore, it is crucial to address these issues promptly by opting for regrouting. By doing so, you can prevent further damage, maintain the integrity of the tiled surface, and mitigate any potential water damage or structural problems that may arise.

Q: Which types of tiles can be regrouted?
A: Tile Cleaning are equipped to assist with regrouting for a wide range of tile types. They have the expertise and experience to handle most types of tiles, ensuring a professional and effective regrouting process. Whether you have ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, natural stone tiles, mosaic tiles, or any other common tile material, Tile Cleaning can provide the necessary services to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of your tiled surfaces. Their team is knowledgeable about the specific requirements and techniques for regrouting different tile types, ensuring optimal results for each unique case.

Q: What are the reasons for needing regrouting, and what are the benefits of regrouting?
A: Regrouting offers several advantages compared to retiling and is often recommended when the tiles are in good condition but the grout is starting to deteriorate. One of the primary benefits is the significant improvement it brings to the overall appearance of any tiled area. By regrouting, you can restore that fresh and clean look at an affordable price that accommodates various budgets. Regrouting is suitable for all tiled areas, making it a versatile solution. Moreover, regrouting is a cost-effective option that requires less time compared to retiling. Additionally, it is an environmentally friendly choice as it helps reduce carbon emissions by avoiding the need for extensive retiling. Overall, regrouting provides a cost-efficient, time-saving, and environmentally conscious way to enhance the appearance and longevity of your tiled surfaces.

Q: What is regrouting?
A: Tile Cleaning offers a regrouting service that involves a specialized mechanical tool to remove old grout without causing any damage to the tiles. The process begins by carefully removing the existing grout, ensuring the tiles remain intact. Once the old grout is removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned to prepare it for the application of new grout. Finally, a suitable and proper new grout is applied to restore the appearance and functionality of the tiled surface. This regrouting service provided by Tile Cleaning aims to rejuvenate and enhance the overall look of the tiles while ensuring a long-lasting and durable grout application.

Q: Is it necessary to seal the grout after regrouting?
A: Once the regrouting process is complete, it is highly recommended by Tile Cleaners® to seal the newly applied grout. Sealing the grout helps in extending its lifespan and preserving its fresh appearance. The sealer acts as a protective barrier, shielding the grout from stains, dirt, and grime. Additionally, sealed grout is easier to clean and maintain, as the sealer prevents substances from penetrating into the grout pores. By applying a sealer to the regrouted area, you can ensure that the grout remains in excellent condition and simplify the cleaning process, making it safer and more efficient.
