The New Year can often get us longing to refresh our homes, but, totally re-tiling the bathroom or kitchen isn’t always what our budgets or our busy schedules want. We’ve put together some top tips to refresh your tiles easily without breaking the bank.
Clean As A Whistle
Now, we aren’t calling you messy, but, when was the last time you gave your tiles a good clean? We don’t just mean a quick wipe or vacuum: we mean a good clean with elbow grease and professional products…
Speaking from experience, we know how jobs such as deep cleaning your tiles gets put on the back burner. But, giving them a good old polish and buff can really bring your tiles back to life, get your high gloss finish gleaming again and your grout glowing like new.
We stock a fantastic range of tile and grout cleaners and waxes to help you clean your tiles like a professional and refresh your tiles to perfection.
Glow Up Your Grout
After a while, grout can begin to get grimy. It can either fade from a bright white colour to a dismal grey or can start to accrue stains and spots, especially in damp or frequently used areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. Grout can also start to crack or chip away. Both of these can cause your room to look tired and worn. But, don’t worry, it’s easily fixed.
By removing the old grout and re-grouting your tiles, you can easily and cheaply refresh your tiles and your room: in fact, we think you’ll be surprised at the difference it makes!
If you really want to give your grout a full glow up you could even re-grout with a new colour to add an exciting, yet cost-effective, twist to your room.
Spruce Up Your Sealant
If you have natural stone or porcelain tiles, as with grout, marks can sometimes appear on the surface. These can be stripped and resealed or cleaned with a specialist cleaning product.
Please note: if you are unsure on how to remove and replace your grout or sealant, it’s always best to contact a professional to ensure the job is done safely and to a high standard.
Splashback Time
Bored of your colour scheme or just want to shake up your décor? Why not add a statement splashback in your kitchen or even behind the sink in your bathroom?
Usually housed behind hobs or sinks, splashbacks are a great way to refresh your tiles without breaking the bank. Whether you replace with a daring contrast or simply replace your existing splashback with a newer model, you should only need a box or two of tiles to keep your budget low but your room looking refreshed and revitalised.
New Wall and Floor Tiles
Of course, sometimes a refresh won’t do and you need, or want, a full retile. Whether you’re retiling your bathroom or kitchen, walls or floors, we have a fantastic range of tiles to suit any style or budget that are sure to transform your room into your dream interior space.
