Porcelain tile cleaning services in Lancashire
Porcelain, a type of ceramic long used for various homewares such as mugs, bowls, and crockery, also serves as an appealing flooring material. Tiles are crafted from a blend of clay and fine sand, then kiln-fired at high temperatures. Porcelain floor tiles boast durability and affordability. Their typically small size means that if damage occurs, replacements are cost-effective and simple to install. Due to their resilience, porcelain tile floors often endure for many years. Offering excellent water resistance, porcelain is also the preferred choice for swimming pools and wetrooms. When used in flooring, porcelain works well with underfloor heating, making it an excellent option for all seasons. Contact us for a free quote.
Cleaning porcelain tile floors
We can help with all common porcelain issues including:

Despite its durability and water resistance, regular maintenance is essential to ensure that porcelain tile floors retain their attractiveness and remain undamaged.

Our polishers are adept at restoring the lustre of even the most neglected porcelain floors.
Avoiding DIY mistakes
It’s crucial to avoid certain types of cleaning solutions on porcelain, as solutions with a low pH can be particularly detrimental. Discolouration may occur if inappropriate cleaning solutions have been used in the past. Depending on the severity of the damage, Tile & Stone Medic Lancashire can address this type of damage.
Maintaining porcelain flooring
Regular dusting and vacuuming are crucial to preserve the look of porcelain tiles. However, ensure that your vacuum cleaner does not have hard plastic wheels, as these could potentially scratch the floor’s finish and wear down the seal. Despite the tiles’ high durability, dirt can gradually become ingrained in the surface over time, resulting in a natural dulling of the shine. To safeguard your porcelain tile, a professionally applied, high-quality sealer is recommended. With years of experience and hundreds of successful applications, you can trust Tile & Stone Medic Lancashire to deliver the finest finish. Additionally, we offer restoration and repair services for damaged grouting as part of our porcelain floor restoration service.
Porcelain not only looks great but it’s also highly resilient. By properly maintaining your porcelain floor, you can maximize its lifespan. Need assistance with sealing and preserving its shine?
