Victorian Tile Cleaning Walsall West Midlands

Last Updated on February 13, 2026 by David

This project involved the restoration of a Victorian Minton tile floor in a hallway property in Walsall, West Midlands.

When first inspected, the floor appeared worn, with ingrained soil muting the original colours.

This Minton tile floor in Walsall was over 100 years old, and over time, ingrained soil muted the colours, leaving the tiles dull and uninviting.

The client had searched for a Minton Tile Cleaning company servicing the Midlands and found our website.

They read a number of our Minton tile posts and saw the how we could restore victorian Minton tiles.

They emailed photos of the floor, and we sent a restoration proposal.

After discussing the options for restoring the Minton tile floor, they hired our services.

Victorian Tile Floor Repair Walsall Project

Before cleaning the floor, I had to repair a run of loose tiles.

I carefully lifted the tiles, applied an adhesive to the sub-floor and the back of the tiles and replaced the tiles.

Once the adhesive dried, I grouted the tiles using a dark grey grout.

Victorian Tile Cleaning Walsall

I applied a specialist cleaner to the floor, mechanically scrubbed the tiles, and then extracted and rinsed the surface.

I scrubbed the floor mechanically to release the soil from the tile.

I used a powerful vacuum to rinse away the slurry and then rinsed the floor with clean water.

Victorian Tile Sealing Walsall

Once the floor had dried, I applied 2 layers of colour-enhancing impregnating sealer.

The floor was over 100 years old. Some of the tiles were work and had lost their surface crust, leaving the rough inner portion of the tile exposed.

Because several tiles were worn and slightly rough, I applied a beeswax finish to add surface protection and make this floor easier to maintain. This completed the restoration of the Victorian Minton tile floor in Walsall.

My client was extremely pleased with the results of my work.

This project is one of many real examples referenced in our Victorian tile flooring guide, which explains how these floors behave in everyday homes and why careful cleaning makes such a difference.
