Tile Treatments
It is a fact that your tiles not only require regular cleaning, they also require occasional maintenance to ensure they do not lift and become what is known as ‘floating tiles. The Gold Coast has many regions that are well known for shifting ground and once one tile lifts, it is likely that the surrounding tiles will gradually lose their grip on the sub floor and in a very short space of time, you will have a serious problem on your hands. If you notice a loose tile, you need to get onto it ASAP. Our services range from tile cleaning to tile grinding and smoothing or damaged surface repair, worn tile revival and levelling of uneven tiles. Our tile treatments services consist of these main factors;
Tile Cleaning
Tiles have always been tough and have a high resistance to dirt, but even as technology advances, it can’t stop the sand and grit from dulling the tiles glazed surfaces. And really, a simple ‘mop over’ will not achieve the best results. Also, using the ever popular squeeze sponge mop effectively pushes dirty water into the grout lines which tend to have a negative effect on your overall cleaning process.
Tile and grout Gold Coast use an intense restoration tile cleaning system comprising of a mix of manual application for selective areas followed up with a three head custom designed tile cleaner that will leave your tiles not only clean, they will be just like new.
Tile Polishing
Some tiles look great just cleaned and natural. But if the tiles originally had a bit of a sheen, it would give you a pleasant surprise if you returned that sheen. Tile and Grout Gold Coast have a high speed polishing machine that can give your tiles a high lustre polished finish anywhere from a low sheen to a high gloss finish that reflects the surroundings. Tiles like marble and porcelain are very expensive and incorrect polishing methods and/or products can seriously have a detrimental effect on those tiles. DIY is fine … but only if you know what you are doing and you also know which products to use.
Non-slip Tile Surfaces
For patio tiles and pool surround tiles it is almost a given that you have a non-slip surface. In many instances, at the time of the tile selection it is highly possible that a non-slip tile was selected. However, over a period of time the volume of foot traffic, scrubbing and the outdoor elements reduces the effectiveness of the non-slip tile.
Tile and Grout Gold Coast can professionally add or rejuvenate a non-slip surface to your tiles. The process will leave your tiles looking great and in most cases, depending on tile colour and pattern, the non-slip tile coating will not be noticeable.
There is also a trend to have internal tiles with a non-slip coating. For example, areas such as bathrooms, showers and laundries, where the tiles are likely to become wet would be safer with a non-slip tile surface. But to simply coat tiles with a store bought tub of surface non-slip application is not as easy as it sounds and the end result may not have the desired effect or the desired appearance.
Tile Levelling
There are a variety of reasons why tiles can become uneven such as ground or sub floor movement or poor workmanship. Sometimes just the one tile and other times a group of tiles. Apart from the aesthetics of such a problem, it can be unsafe and also lead to things such as edge chipping and cracking.
Tile and Grout Gold Coast have the experience and know the shortcuts to repair such problems quickly and permanently. Even if it is a ground movement problem, we have a system that can allow for that and in most cases, eliminate the problem from re-occurring years down the track.
Tile Surface Repair
Although tiles are certainly resilient, they are subjected to some harsh treatment on a regular basis. And when floor tiles are involved, we all know how many times something solid is dropped on them. In some instances it may cause a small chip or a crack, but due the surface resilience, you may not see any damage. But there is a high likelihood that the tile integrity has been weakened just at the point of impact. And that small chip you can see will definitely create a weak spot in the tile and begin to deteriorate. Plus of course, that small chip will harbour bacteria which will always return after a mop over.
If you notice any tile surface damage, it is a good idea to attend to it sooner than later. Cracked tiles are the most common issue caused by the dropping of hard objects or sub-floor movement. Tile and Grout Gold Coast can have those fixed for you professionally and in most cases, it will be hard to notice that there was ever a crack there.
