sealed

I have just moved into a 1950s build (1930s design) block of flats. All windows have a tile windowsill, original feature as all hundred odd flats have it. With time, they have suffered a bit, and I want to revive them colour wise, and refresh the grouting (even if it is with a grouting pen) I...

I was supposed to have a concrete floor finish so I have a contemporary floor look. The contractor did a very poor quality job and I realized I need to cover all the problems with something, so we decided to tile over it. The floor has a water based chemical resistant urethane sealant and I have...

Hi All, after a bit of advice please. Have a customer who has ordered pre sealed terracotta tiles from Burnt Earth. I’ve always sealed myself but wondered how reliable pre sealed is cause not used before. Thanks

Hi Everyone, We have black slate and white marble floor tiles in our hallway, chequerboard pattern. I wanted to clean them up and re-seal. Cleaned with soapy water then rolled on the Lithofin Stain Stop, and left to dry. It's left a greasy film on all the tiles. When I did the same in our...

My kitchen has a travertine floor. When it was installed ~2 years back I sealed it with one of the sealants that soaks into the stone: I put many layers of this on. My cleaner has now spilt bleach onto it. This has left a dull patch of stone (see the dull shape in the attached photo). Firstly...

My glass shower wall sits on a low tiled walled on which water pools in one area. After several years the tile in this area has become badly pitted (it may have been damaged when it was originally put down) , see picture. What can I use to seal the tile to stop it becoming worse?

Hello all, Right, Ive done a 110sqm of limestone continuous floor. Its a non polished (matt) surface and obviously this makes it very difficult to completely remove all grout residue. I had washed it off, and repeated this 3 times. Assuming that i had got the majority, except it was left with a...

Hi I've sealed my travertine tiles with HG natural stone & marble impregnator and when I attempted to silcone seal my bath joint the sealant didnt take/adhere ?? any advice please?

Hi, Got these tiles from a friend of a friend who had just finished a huge job and they were surplus, hence why I know little about them. As thread titled, do my tiles need sealing before grouting? Only reason I ask is that somebody I know had some porcelain fitted and the tiller grouted...

Laid around 30M of black limestone in garden, decided to prevent any issues to seal before slabs laid. all went down fine slight residue so cleaned away twice at the time went to bed, residue still strong as before. cleaning again each slab individually but still milky residue. Have tried...

okay, so you've decided to seal your tiles before fixing them, just wondering what we all do with them till they're dry and ready to fix. Do you lean them against the wall around the perimeter of the room, stack them in rows separated with spacers etc? I'm thinking of asking the wife to "knock...

I have now had patio laid and then sealed it with stone oil - but unfortunately builders didn't wipe access away and so some parts have been left sticky - it had been dry for 4 days and now they have grouted it with dry cement and sand - but this has clung to sealed stone . They have washed it...

Hi, I have come to a job where the previous tiler has laid new brazilian floor tiles and then sealed them after a week or so (having carried on working in the building) There are various stains (whitish) that are showing through. Tiles were sealed with HG natural stone sealer/impregnator. I...

...I tried to talk my wife out of it, but she had to have the light coloured grouting. Anyway the inevitable has happened on our kitchen floor after 6 months and the grouting is looking pretty grubby! I know there are products out there but, I want to make sure I dont I damage/erode the...
