Grind down tiles to get rid of lip page?

[Lee T]

Keep well away from it mate!!! Could lead to endless amounts of phone calls otherwise

A good tiler will listen to those in the trade who do work and not selling wares! And discourage those in the know how to spread knowledge!
My two pence worth of advice

Marble Shine are of the same opinion!

They do not grind and repolish! They remove localised lippage using hand polisher!

LOL Amir just phoned me posing as a buyer of diamond pads for Klindex machines.

You are an odd chap Amir. Don't get upset when the people you recommend even say they wouldn't recommend this is attempted.

Ask for Isabella and Manuel the owner who told you that they do not carry out work for 3 rd party. You gave them the impression that you had 300 m2 for quartz tile to grind and polish! Wish you happiness

You can't grind and re polish 10mm thick quartz tiles. I don't care who you are, and on that point New Image agree.

They didn't tell me they don't do work for a third party, they recommended that due to the nature of the product, the customer would be better off pulling it up and starting again, as even if they could grind and polish it it was unlikely they would be able to replicate the manufacturer finish. I agree with them, so does Marble Shine and so do any other professional floor re finishers that we deal with.

The OP stated there was £37,000 worth of quartz flooring to rectify. At £100 sq/m it's not unreasonable to arrive at 300+ sq/m.

Russell it is the easiest job I have seen ! Use SOFT DIAMONDS (most uk supplier will not have them) and you will have to repolish using cream pads and clear granite polishing powder

Russell, How thick are the tiles and how many m2 needs refinishing?

You're right they're about 10mm I've not really looked at them properly and I'd say roughly 60m out of the 200 m laid so far
