Kitchen Tile Restoration
CONSIDER KITCHEN TILE RESTORATION INSTEAD OF RENOVATING
At Tile Cleaning Experts we specialise in kitchen tile restoration. Kitchens are the heart of the home. If, like many, you have an open plan kitchen, it is even more important to keep your kitchen looking it’s best. If not, it can really make not just your kitchen, but your dining and living areas look dirty and drab. In particular, having tiles that have discoloured or mould affects the overall appearance of your kitchen. The same goes for silicone if it has become discoloured, traps mould, is peeling or stained.
A great kitchen not only creates a great focal point for your home, but also increases it’s value. That’s why so many people get their kitchen floor cleaned and sealed and regrout their kitchen tiles prior to putting their home on the market. Not only does it cost a lot less but is quicker and much less of a hassle than doing a full renovation on your kitchen.
If you have natural stone benchtop we specialise in fixing ones that have become stained, scratched or faded. Benchtops are probably one of the most used areas of a kitchen. We do this by using specialised machinery with diamond infused polishing pads. This restores the natural lustre of your natural stone benchtop. This includes marble benchtops.
We are experts at getting kitchens looking their best again. This includes cleaning and sealing tiles, silicone replacement, regrouting and minor tile repairs. Not only do we get your kitchen sparkling again, but we also make it a lot easier to keep clean.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT HOW WE RESTORE KITCHEN TILES
CLEAN & SEAL TILES
There is nothing better than a kitchen where the tiles on both the floors and walls glisten. A professional tile clean will restore your kitchen so you start to enjoy spending family time there again. It will also make your kitchen hygienic and easier to clean. As well, when we seal your tiles, they will last a lot longer. Tile Cleaning Experts uses the latest professional equipment, along with their expertise, to provide a deep clean to your kitchen tiles. A sealant is then applied to the grout lines to protect it from future dirt buildup and grime.
Sometimes elbow grease and bleach isn’t enough to remove the build-up. Even worse, you can cause irreversible damage by using harsh chemicals to clean natural stone, grout and silicone areas. Due to the high-traffic, food preparation and overall heavy use of the kitchen, we recommend a professional clean and seal is carried out every 12 to 18 months.
The technology and equipment used by Tile Cleaning Experts to clean kitchen tiles is state of the art. As well, it has been developed specifically in conjunction with formulated cleaning solutions. Our professional machines and technicians use heat, varying water pressure and developed solutions to scrub and extract simultaneously. As a result, you get a deep clean of your tiles that sanitize the area and remove all debris, rather than moving it around. Naturally, this provides better results than traditional mops and scrubbers.
REGROUTING TILES
In cases where the grout on your kitchen tiles has eroded between the tiles, Tile Cleaning Experts will regrout them. This is a cost-effective way to restore the look of your tiles without having to retile the entire area. Grout protects your kitchen tiles from damage with the normal settling and flexing of your house. In kitchens especially tiles around the sink area, grout helps prevent water from seeping between the tiles and eroding the substrata underneath it. In cases where the grout is chipped, missing or flaking, regrouting should be considered immediately. This is because it may be causing water damage.
TILE GROUT RECOLOURING
If you are looking for a refresh and want to change the colour of your grout we can do that too. Fashions change in relation to popular grout colours, especially for kitchens. Tile Cleaning Experts can recolour your kitchen grout lines to create a new look and feel. This is a no fuss way to update your kitchen without the expense of renovating. A sealant is mixed with the new grout to protect it and to provide longevity.
SILICONE REPAIRS
Over time, silicone around tile edges, especially around sinks in your kitchen can become discoloured, trap mould, peel and even stain. Not only does it make your kitchen look dirty, but it is unhygienic as well. It may also be causing water damage in your kitchen without you even knowing. In most cases, silicone can’t be cleaned. This means replacement of the silicone is necessary. By replacing the silicone, you not only restore the clean lines, but also waterproof the adjoining areas.
POLISHING & RESURFACING OF TILES
If the natural stone floor or tiles of your kitchen or even your benchtop has been stained, scratched or faded then we can resurface it. In no time it will be back to looking it’s best. We use specialised machinery with diamond infused polishing pads as part of the process. This restores the natural lustre of your floor or bench top.
ANTI-SLIP TREATMENT FOR YOUR KITCHEN
After bathrooms, kitchens are the most common room for people to slip. However, by applying a clear anti-slip treatment to your kitchen floor you’re ensuring the safety of family and friends when they are in your kitchen. Anti-slip is near-invisible and won’t affect the natural look of your kitchen tiles or flooring.
MINOR TILE REPAIRS
Instead of replacing the entire floor with new tiles in your kitchen, Tile Cleaning Experts are qualified in minor tile repairs. This is a cost-effective measure to restore the floors to their near-original condition. We either take some of the original tiles (if you have spares) or get them matched to save on cost. Minor tile repair is the perfect solution for cracked or chipped tiles.
