Just want to know if this can be done by a professional.

Despite people warning me I put honed limestone tiles in my kitchen. They were sealed but I made two mistakes.

1) I let workers walk around with their dirty shoes

2) I cleaned and scrubbed the bits that got dirty/stained with flash. After taking some 'expert' advice it turns out the flash makes things worse and takes off the protective sealant.

Anyway so I now have about 10 tiles that look poor/dirty/discoloured. I've spent this gorgeous weekend cleaning them with Linofin products and then resealing, but they look bad.

I've actually got about 20 + tiles left over so can these tiles be removed and new ones put in with good results?

If it makes a difference underneath is half solid floor and half plywood(it was two seperate rooms at one point) and the tiler latexed the floor first.

Many thanks

ps I have no intention of dimyself I will get a tiler to do it

yeh - you *could* do it yourself with a small angle grinder. Grind out the grout, and chisel the crappy tiles out. Clean up the gaps, re-cement ;)

Hey Dan, is there anything you don't know about?:) Seriously though, is it something a skilled tiler can do?

it is. if you wanted to do it yourself though, you should start from the middle of each tile and work you way out to the edges. if you start from one side, you'll most likely damage the edges on adjacent tiles.

do you have underfloor heating? if so, you obviously risk damaging that (although any damage could potentially be repaired by soldering split cables)

a skilled tiler shouldn't have any trouble with this sort of repair

Thanks Richard.:thumb:
