Scratches, dullness, stains, uneven tiles and dark grout: the causes of the most common tile problems and when tile polishing is the answer.

Terrazzo courtyard tiles before polishing: dull and stained

Published · By Nasser Nayef Al-Otaibi Contracting Est.

Before you think about breaking and replacing your tiles, learn which problems tile polishing can fix, and when polishing is not enough.

Scratches

Usually caused by sand and moving furniture. Light and medium scratches are removed by graded diamond grinding.

Dullness

Comes from daily traffic and harsh cleaners. Grinding then polishing brings back depth of color and shine.

Stubborn stains

Such as cement and paint after finishing work. Many come off with grinding; stains that soaked in deeply may fade without disappearing.

Uneven tiles

Raised edges between tiles. Coarse grinding levels them.

Dark grout

Dirt collects in the joints. Grinding and cleaning improve their color clearly.

When is polishing not enough?

  • Broken tiles or tiles that have come loose.
  • Deep cracks through the tile.
  • Glazed ceramic and porcelain, which need cleaning and polishing rather than coarse grinding.
