    Default Victorian Geometrics

    Hi all just introducing myself, i am Jason based in Gwent South Wales and have been tiling nearly 10 years and am always looking to expand my knowledge and contact base.

    I have hit a snag this week where a customer has asked me to renovate her Victorian Geometric tiles in her hallway. To be honest it is the first time i have been asked to do this in all the years of tiling.

    Basically the tiles have got quite grubby and have been down the best part of 100 years+. I was wondering if anyone on this forum has renovated/restored these tiles before, what products are the best for these tiles and what is the correct procedure to clean, restore and seal?

    Thanks in advance

    Jason
