QUOTE(g00glesYYl @ Jun 28 2011, 11:21 AM) My condo's tiles has hole and little crack, any way to paint/fill up the hole? Is it still under DLP? If, yes, then go back to the developer   If not, then for wall tiles, can always get the white cement to fill up the hole & crack (assume it is just a hairline crack) If floor tiles, then use the normal cement... or some colour grount to match the tile colour (can get from tile shops) |

QUOTE(g00glesYYl @ Jun 29 2011, 04:55 PM) no longer DLP. Since the hole quite big, like 10 sen coin... i shall go for tile shops. Depending where is the affected tile located. If the hole is big like 10 sen coin, then patching up using cement may not look nice, even if you managed to get matching colour grout/ cement.If it does not look nice, maybe you could just replace the affected tile... provided you can still get the same design.. |

QUOTE(g00glesYYl @ Jul 7 2011, 05:47 PM) Good idea... Just want to further ask:- 1) any Chemical to wash or polish the tiles? Can recommend the product name and where can buy it? Depend on what kind of floor tiles you are having. Ceramic, homogeneous, etc. You could ask those tile shops. Go for the big shops. Tell what you want. They should have. Forgotten the name already  2) As we know, in between the tiles, there is cement and normally it is white color. Now, most of it is become dirty which showing black. Any product can cover back? I think this should have, like what the contractor worker doing. If the white tile grouts have turned black, the only way is to remove the grout and replace with new grout. Most contractors would be able to do that. I have heard from my reno contractor that he did that for one house owner |

QUOTE(Jo_da48 @ Jul 8 2011, 11:25 AM) If not mistake, they use Acid to wash, than re-lay the white stuff again... Very much doubt that you can just use the acid to wash off the dark cement grout and then replace with new white cement grout. You need to physically "dig" out the old grout.Because one of my existing wall tile been lay different colour (light yellow) and the contractor need to change back to White You may be able to use acid to help "soften" the recently grouted tile joints; but not for old grout.  Cement grout gains strength as it ages.. |
