looks good and easy to do i take it this is safe on all tiles and could you change the colour of the grout or do you need to just match ?
-
either.
-
how long to do a standard size bathroom and what would be a fair price to charge per m2 Jamie ?
-
That stuff looks great, how long does it take to dry.
-
About an hour depending on how thick it needs to be applied.
A kit will do approx 30m2. What you charge is entirely up to you.
A kit is £49.99 RRP (incl VAT) calling the office to order will give you a trade discount of 20% and free shipping
We charge £15 + VAT/m2 for the service when its with other works in the house so we can be working on other areas while it dries.
Best practise on your own bathroom walls/floors first.
-
Great Jamie so ring the office save the Vat also as i asked before is it safe to use on any tile regardless if porcelain or ceramic.
Thanks Phil.
-
It is intended mainly for use on ceramic and porcelain.
The cleaner wont damage natural stone (do a test to be sure)
If it is a polished or honed tile you shouldnt have too much of a problem if you wipe up excess as you go and keep everything as clean as possible.
For floor tiles the same will apply. Anti slip tiles can make the clean up a little tricky so take a little more care with application on these.
We have used grout colour seal on sandstone without any problem after a good masking up of the tile. Took about twice as long but this was reflected in what we charged.
-
I am not sure if this question has been answered...
Can the colour be changed..IE... from Black to white?
-
not with a single application

hi Jamie
Just noticed in the description spelling mistake casued should be caused.

Jamie when you say a kit will do 30m2 do you just measure the wall space like you would if you were to tile because the tile in your video are big what if a bathroom was all 6x6 making a lot more grout or are you m2 based on the small tiles ? Thanks Phil.
-
The 30m2 is a bit of a generalisation as you imply and is based on 3" tiles with 2-3mm groutlines.
On a small mosaic tile it could be as low as 5m2 this is where the larger trade packs (available soon) would be used.
-
3" is quite small size so good coverage as most bathrooms would be this or above as a lot now have the big tiles as in your video.

Looks good. We had something a little similar just before Christmas. An old 1950s quarry tile stairwell. We knew that when we were to start cleaning there would be grout loss. Got the client to choose what colour grout they wanted. Explained that it would be a different texture/appearance etc to the existing. Did the patch in. Client not happy. Explained the qualifications again did a sample step with colour sealer and they went ahead with all 5 flights of stairs as an extra! Would have been great if we had the time to fit it in so after many long hours it all looks great and NOBODY TOOK ANY PICS! It was Christmas Eve to be fair.

I tested the sample for Jamie against Aqua Mix but I am afraid the results were for Jamie. The test is simple to do just buy one of each mate and try them. But if you read the posts really well Jamie has accurately described his product! Phil why don't you book onto a course the next one is planned for the 12 March we cover all this!

I would Kev but don't have funds at moment i'm struggling with getting business for carpeting so no point in hard floors till i have a steady amount of work and income available. Your course will be my number 1 choice when i decide to take that step.

Jamie will the tile tidy cover and treat mould already in the grout ? also with the 10year protection is that guaranteed or can't be due too differnt scenarios ? Thanks Phil.

The cleaner contains a fungicide to kill the existing spores.
Since the sealer blocks light and moisture it cannot grow.
