Tile and Grout Cleaning Worcestershire

We provide an extensive tile and grout cleaning service to commercial and domestic customers across Worcestershire, including deep cleaning, polishing, sealing and small repairs.

Are your tiles looking dull or grout lines discoloured? Professional tile and grout cleaning can transform your tiled surfaces, making them look freshly laid again. At Tile  Stone Medic Worcestershire, we specialise in deep-cleaning tiles and grout in kitchens, bathrooms, and floor areas, using proven techniques and the latest equipment to bring fresh life to your tiles.

Here’s a look at our thorough tile and grout cleaning process, along with common issues we address.

Why Choose Professional Cleaning?

Over time, dirt, grime, and mould build up on tiles and especially in grout lines. Regular cleaning often only scrubs the surface, but the porous nature of grout allows deep staining that’s hard to tackle with standard cleaning products. Our professional tile and grout cleaning service penetrates these layers of dirt, delivering a more intensive clean that not only looks great but also promotes a healthier home by removing mould and allergens.

Hiring a professional with high-end equipment for tile and grout cleaning offers numerous advantages over renting a machine and doing it yourself:

  • We use powerful, specialised equipment that can achieve much deeper cleans than consumer-grade machines. High-end machines operate with stronger suction, water pressure, and heat, effectively removing tough stains, embedded dirt, and even mould – something DIY machines often struggle to achieve.
  • At Tile and Stone Medic Worcestershire our years of experience have taught us how to use these tools safely and efficiently. Tile and grout can be delicate; incorrect techniques or improper handling of machinery can cause surface damage, uneven cleaning, or even cracking. We will assess the best cleaning approach for each type of tile and grout, ensuring a thorough clean without risking the integrity of your flooring.
  • Professional-grade cleaning products are typically more effective and less harmful than the over-the-counter solutions available for DIYers. These cleaning agents work in synergy with the high-powered equipment, offering long-lasting results and leaving the surface looking renewed and vibrant. Overall, hiring a professional not only saves you time and hassle but also delivers a superior, safer, and longer-lasting clean.

Our Tile and Grout Cleaning Process

Here’s a step-by-step look at how our Worcestershire team achieves stunning results with every tile and grout cleaning job.

  1. Initial Assessment and Preparation
    We start by inspecting the tiled area, identifying the tile type, the condition of the grout, and any areas with heavy staining, mildew, or damage. This initial assessment allows us to tailor our cleaning method and determine if additional treatments, like sealing or repair, are needed. We also prepare the surrounding area to protect fixtures and other surfaces.
  2. Pre-Treatment Application
    A specially formulated cleaning solution is applied to break down built-up grime, mould, and oils. This solution is selected based on the tile material (ceramic, porcelain, marble, etc.) to ensure safe, effective cleaning.
  3. Scrubbing and Agitation
    Using soft brushes and specialised tools, we agitate the cleaning solution to lift dirt from tile surfaces and grout lines. For heavily soiled grout, we use high-powered scrubbers that penetrate deep into the porous grout, pulling out stubborn stains and mildew.
  4. High-Pressure Steam Cleaning
    To further eliminate embedded dirt, we use high-pressure steam or hot water extraction. This step sanitises the surfaces and removes remaining grime, leaving your tiles sparkling clean. Our equipment is designed to extract all moisture, ensuring a faster drying time and preventing mould growth.
  5. Rinse and Residue Removal
    After the deep cleaning, we thoroughly rinse the entire area to ensure no cleaning solution remains, as residue can attract new dirt if left behind. We then dry the tiles and grout carefully.
  6. Optional Sealing and Finishing Touches
    Sealing the grout is a recommended option to protect it from future staining and discolouration. This invisible barrier keeps grout looking fresh and repels liquids and oils that can cause long-term damage.

Common Tile and Grout Issues We Address

  • Mould and Mildew Buildup: Bathrooms and wet areas are prone to mildew, which is not only unsightly but can also pose health risks. Our deep-cleaning and sanitising techniques effectively remove mould and prevent regrowth.
  • Stained or Discoloured Grout: Over time, grout darkens due to dirt and oils, particularly in high-traffic areas. Standard cleaning doesn’t reach deeply enough to remove these stains, but our professional process restores grout colour to its original state.
  • Dull or Faded Tiles: Tiles can lose their shine from soap scum, limescale, or general wear. Our specialised cleaning techniques remove residues, restoring the natural sheen of your tiles.
  • Cracked or Damaged Grout: While cleaning won’t repair cracks, we can advise on options like grout re-colouring or replacement to help prolong the life of your tiles.

FAQs

The process we carry out will depend on your specific floor and the use that it gets. There will be variations for different materials and the finish that you wish to achieve. The process will also be impacted by the full scale of work that we carry out, for example which types of cleaning and restoration are being performed. It is not unusual to apply several layers of sealant if this is necessary and appropriate.

Firstly, a floor should always be sealed when it is first laid. Get in touch with us straight away if this hasn’t been carried out already. It will also need periodic sealing in order to protect the floor on an ongoing basis. How often sealing is required depends on a number of factors such as the specific material used for your flooring and the kind of use it has to survive. For example, a bathroom with natural tiles that is frequently exposed to water may require sealing more often than porcelain tiles in a kitchen. Frequent maintenance, such as sweeping and hoovering up the dust and grit that erodes floors when trodden on can help. Once the sealant is worn away, not only will scratches be more likely, the risk of staining or permanent damage from liquids is drastically increased as there is no protective layer to prevent absorption. If in doubt get in touch with our team of friendly technicians who can discuss your needs.

We have a range of high quality Faber products which will help protect your floors from damage. As every type of floor is different and has myriad uses, we will consult with you to work out the best way to protect your investment. We can apply topical sealants which form a protective layer on top of the floor, or if needed an impregnating sealant, which will be partially absorbed into the stone or tiles. There are many variations of these sealants and as each floor type has unique characteristics and vulnerabilities we can work with you to find and apply the the best kind of protection.

Absolutely. If this was not carried out by those who fitted the floor get in touch immediately to ensure that the appropriate protection can be applied as promptly as possible. We would recommend that this is carried out once the flooring is in place as this means the grout, which is generally more porous, will also be protected.

We apply a sealer to a floor in order to protect it. Different types of floor, both manmade and natural stone, are vulnerable to different sorts of damage. They can all be harmed by chemicals to a certain degree, even by the acid in food and drink spillages, as they will be very slightly porous. As well as this, they can be worn away by physical damage. Even foot traffic can have a big impact if dust or grit has built up on the floor, since it increases abrasions. A sealant will reduce the chance of a spill becoming a stain by reducing the floor’s ability to absorb liquids. It can also help protect the appearance of the floor by forming a protective barrier. A sealant won’t prevent all damage and it will still wear away over time, but it will help your floors last longer, helping protect your investment. Sealants will even help protect your floor from UV radiation which can lead to fading over the lifespan of a high value stone or tiled floor. We can consult with you to find the best sealant for your floor and the type of use it gets to make sure it receives the best form of protection.

Absolutely, we stock a range of high quality sealers which we can use to make your tiles shine like new.

In many cases yes, it’s one of our specialities. We’ll need to take a look at the amount of staining to make a proper assessment.

Call Tile & Stone Medic! It sounds like your grout may be contaminated we frequently fix discoloured grouting.

In many cases we can, although it depends on the type of tile and how serious the damage is. Let us take us a look at your floor and we’ll make an assessment. Please note we can only carry out floor repairs as part of a full deep clean or restoration for your stone floor. Unfortunately, we are not able to attend to carry out repairs in isolation.

Generally yes, depending on how many have become loose and the condition of the subfloor, we can generally restore loose tiles without issue.

Whilst we may use specialist chemicals in the course of our work, we can assure you that by the time we leave all residues will be gone and your tile or stone flooring will be perfectly safe for everyone to use. We work to extremely high standards of health and safety, conducting proper risk assessments where appropriate and never putting you or anyone else in danger.

We always work in the most considerate way possible. Work will be tailored to your needs and will fit around your schedule where possible. We avoid bringing loud or bulky machinery into your home and when a job is complete we thoroughly clean up after ourselves to leave your space looking as tidy as it did when we arrived.

Yes, ideally if you want the job done to the best of our ability, then all furniture, kick plates in kitchens etc should be removed. However, don’t worry we will help you manage this.
Absolutely! we are always happy to show you our insurance certificates or down load them to you if so required.
Once we have spoken to you in more detail we will be able to give you an idea of the time allocation required to restore your floors to a high level.
Because all floors require their own individual needs, perhaps different cleaning solutions, strippers and sealers it is impossible to give an average cost. Some areas of floor are very large and again this will have an impact on the costings as they may take longer to restore. Tile & Stone Medic will either arrrange an onsite visit to assess the floor in question, or, if we do not have local cover in that area, we will talk to you in more detail over the phone and perhaps request that you down load some pictures of the floor to us.
