Okay I know this isn't tiling but thought I would show you a restoration job we did. The tiler had laid it pretty well but then had a grout haze problem then removed it with Acid School boy so we de-lipped the floor, re-honed it and polishe it. We now have a great relasionship with this tiler who sells our service on top of his tiling, So essentially he lays the floor then grouts it (no clean of) leaves it for three weeks then we follow doing our thing by grinding the floor perfectly flat and refinishing the stone.

Thanks!
Yes, A lot of people draws attention to the curtain. Unfortunately, the shower is for people with disabilities. This work was for a private client. Most of my bathrooms, performs for the Council, So I use the same products as usual.

Here is a stone floor that i laid five years ago.
I went back last week to repair the terrace that had frost damage, not caused by bad fixing.
Whilst there i stuck my head in kitchen to see how the stone floor inside was doing after 5 years .
What a joy to see that it looks almost like new.
I asked client how she keeps it so pristine and she only says that she washes once a week with easycare but has a special door mat that takes dirt off shoes when entering house.
Sorry forgot its name already, but considering family wear shoes in house this floor looks unbelievable.
I am not talking about the fixing .
I normally send letters to my previous clients every two or three years offering a cleaning and reseal process, and have one client with this floor that needs it done twice a year, beecause it has gone very dark.
Just goes to show that careful maintenance makes a stone floor a covering for life.
Stone info:
Aged farringdon english limestone :aged and distressed .400/500/600 x random lenghts.
Martin moore stone:
80.00 sq mts actual area.
Dukkaboard/ ekecetric heat mats .
3 coats stainstop and french hard wax applied and buffed .
I really think the wax has protected the floor .
