Our 5-Step Victorian Floor Tile Restoration Process
- Assessment & Mapping We record any damage, moisture issues, or tile loss and plan the full restoration layout.
- Deep Cleaning & Sealer Removal We use rotary machines and our proprietary UK-made alkaline cleaners to strip back years of dirt and residue.
- Repairs & Tile Resetting We lift, clean and reset loose tiles, ensuring colour-matching repairs where needed.
- Rinse & Neutralise No residue left behind. We neutralise pH and allow tiles to fully dry before sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you able to restore Minton tiles?
Absolutely. We restore original Minton floor tiles regularly — including repairs, resets, and full cleaning.
What if I have missing tiles?
We can often source or cut colour-matched tiles. In some cases, we lift and rotate hidden edge tiles to complete visible patterns.
How long does restoration take?
Most projects take 1–3 days depending on size and repairs. We’ll give you a full breakdown after inspection.
Will the floor look glossy after sealing?
That’s up to you. Most of our clients choose a subtle satin or matte finish to keep the traditional look while protecting the floor.
Can you seal it so it doesn’t stain?
Yes — our sealers are oil and water-resistant but fully breathable, designed for antique and heritage tiles.
