Cleaning and Renovating Vinyl Tiles

Vinyl flooring whether it be in a Tile format or a full floor covering has come a long way from the days of being a flimsy plastic based product some of which were made from a wood pulp/resin mix called Linoleum, hence the word Lino. Manufacturers have since introduced products that are tough, scratch resistant blends which are a lot more durable than in the past. Well-known brands include Amtico, Karndean, Altro and Rhino flooring and although durable these products do require a sealer to protect the surface from marking, enhance the colour and appearance of the Vinyl and if required add a sheen finish.

Like any sealed surface, the sealer on Vinyl will wear down over time depending on use and so will require stripping off and re-applying. Tile Doctor has a long background in creation of products for the removal of sealers and has developed Tile Doctor Vinyl Strip, which will strip off any remaining sealer and prepare the Vinyl for a new coating. To reseal the floor Tile Doctor recommend Tile Doctor Vinyl Shine, either 2 or 3 coats can be applied to give a satisfactory sheen finish and enhance the colours.

Below you will find detailed examples of work we have carried out in the past, it should give you some idea of what’s involved and what can be achieved with the right techniques and products.

Gloucester Tile Doctor

Malcolm did an excellent job on our sooty limestone fireplace. He was very courteous and gave us some useful advice in looking after said fireplace. The whole process was without fuss and I would definitely re ommend him to my friends and family.

I contacted Tile Doctor in a panic as our lovely black limestone patio had been ruined by acid wash by the man who laid it. We had spoken to a couple of people regarding cleaning it and inevitably they advised it was beyond repair. Cue sleepless nights and tears, and googling till the early hours, and I stumbled across Tile Doctor and am I glad I did!! Malcolm contacted me within hours, he popped in to have a look and did a quick sample to show what was possible. The sample t ile looked amazing and I had hope for our patio!! He quoted, booked us in and even changed the days he was due to come because of the weather. He worked, along with Sharon, over a weekend, all weekend. They were punctual, reliable, knowledgeable, and basically lovely people. We are delighted with our patio and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tile Doctor and specifically Malcolm and Sharon to friends and family A*

The Edwardian hallway tiles and kitchen tiles are like new. Malcolm and Sharon’s work was quickly and professionally done with each step explained as well as aftercare. The results were better than I had hoped for and I would recommend them to others.
