Ceramic & Porcelain Tile and Grout Cleaning & Restoration in Hampshire

Deep Cleaning, Grout Refinement & Surface Restoration for Matt and Polished Finishes

Over time, even the most resilient tiled surfaces can begin to look tired and uninviting—especially when grout lines darken and the tiles lose their original clarity. Grout is highly porous and acts like a sponge, absorbing dirt, oils, and cleaning product residues, which are rarely removed by standard domestic cleaning methods.

At Hampshire Hard Floor Care, we provide a specialist tile and grout refurbishment service that restores the beauty of your tiled floors, whether they’re found in domestic kitchens, hallways, or high-traffic commercial environments.

Why General Cleaning Isn’t Enough

Conventional mopping or household tile cleaners often fail to address:

• Embedded contaminants within grout lines
• Surface film build-up from detergents or hard water
• Fine scratches and micro-etching on tile surfaces

These issues can make your floor appear dull, discoloured, or prematurely aged—even if the tiles themselves are structurally sound

Our Professional Tile & Grout Cleaning & Sealing Process

Our service involves the use of commercial-grade machinery, non-damaging cleaning agents, and a detailed multi-stage process to rejuvenate both the tile surface and the grout:

1. Pre-Treatment & Grout Penetration

We begin by applying a high-performance alkaline or pH-neutral cleaning agent, depending on the tile type, which is engineered to break down organic matter, soap scum, and oil residues. This is allowed to dwell to penetrate both surface dirt and deeper into the grout lines.

2. Mechanical Agitation

We then use rotary agitation machines or oscillating pads equipped with specialist brushes and pads, calibrated for your floor’s hardness level. This deep-cleans the tiles without damaging glazes, textures, or sealants.

Grout lines are treated separately using precision detailing tools to extract built-up soils and restore the original grout colour.

3. Extraction & Rinse

The loosened dirt and residue are removed using a wet vacuum extraction system, followed by a clean-water rinse to ensure no cleaning agent residue remains. The floor is then dried under controlled conditions.

4. Sealing your floor

Once the floor is completely dry, we apply a premium-grade sealant to the grout and tiles. This protects the grout from spills, staining, and day-to-day wear making maintenance easier.

Porcelain Tile Surface Refinishing

We offer targeted porcelain tile restoration for both matt and polished finishes, addressing the specific wear patterns and challenges each type presents:

For Polished Porcelain:

• Removal of light surface scratches, scuff marks, and etching
• Micro-polishing techniques to restore reflectivity and smoothness
• Application of protective treatments to guard against future dulling

For Matt Porcelain:

• Treatment of embedded grime in textured or microporous finishes
• Optional application of nano-sealants or protective coatings to reduce dirt retention
• Improved cleanability for long-term floor maintenance

This service is ideal for clients who find their matt porcelain tiles appear grubby shortly after cleaning or are difficult to maintain using regular products.

Results You Can See and Feel

Once restored, your tile and grout will:

• Appear cleaner, brighter, and more uniform
• Be easier to maintain with standard cleaning methods
• Reflect the aesthetic of a newly installed floor, often at a fraction of the replacement cost
