Here's a small Victorian bathroom floor completed just before Christmas. It was originally done by the tiler who did the walls but the client was so unhappy with it, it was condemned! It was ripped up and I was asked to re lay the floor. Now I'm going back to do a small cloakroom in a Geo tile...

This was a floor I did last summer. It was part existing floor and part new build. Unfortunately no-one thought about the end result, even tho the builder knew a Geo floor was going down. The result being that the new extension was not built on the same line as the original building, meaning...

I have been trying to clean the Victorian encaustic tiles in my hallway. I got them a lot cleaner using KF Tile Restorer, which I followed with Stain Stop. However the Stain Stop has a matt finish and I'd like them slightly shiny if possible, and to try and bring out the colours a bit more...

We have taken up the carpet in the hallway of our old house to expose the original black and buff quarry tiles. However, there are several problems. The tiles have at some point in the past been screeded over and it has proved impossible to remove most of the screed without cracking the tiles...
