You never know what you are going to find under floor paint, good tiles or bad tiles. No one wants to reveal battered and damaged tiles that they wished were still painted. Luck would have it the majority of the tiles in this floor where okay. Some had suffered badly through years of moisture and efflorescence damage, which had obviously been made worse by having the unbreathable surface or paint.

After removing the paint and deep cleaning the tiles beneath, we resealed with a premium breathable sealer with a slight sheen.

Below you’ll see the transition from floor paint through stripped tiles to sealed tiles.
