Patterned tile (cement tile) and tile mosaic are among the most beautiful floors of old houses. Thanks to the colored layer on top, they can be ground; however, this layer is of limited thickness and requires careful work. In Alanya, we grind tile floors in old houses, restored mansions and boutique hotels without damaging the pattern, revealing their colors once again.
What does our tile grinding service include?
The most obvious problems on tile floors are the height difference between tiles and the darkened surface; grinding resolves both together. The work we carry out:
- Removal of the old polish and dirt layer
- Fine and controlled grinding
- Re-fixing of loose tiles
- Repair of broken tiles
- Renewal of grout joints
- Matte or satin finish
- Color-enhancing impregnation
- Final cleaning after the job

We work on all kinds of floors, old and new, laid with mosaic tiles:
- Old houses and mansions
- Boutique hotels and guesthouses
- Cafés and restaurants
- Entrance halls

- Stair landings
How do we work?

Why You Need to Be Careful with Patterned Tiles
The color of a patterned tile lies only in the top few millimeters. Over-grinding fades the pattern, and it cannot be restored.
- We start with fine grits instead of coarse diamonds
- We check the pattern at every stage
- We don't use acidic cleaners
- We preserve the natural matte look instead of a glossy polish
Ask us before you remove old tiles
The first thing that comes to mind in a renovation is tearing out the old tiles and laying new ones. Yet these floors are now expensive to reproduce and highly sought after.
- Grinding often brings them close to their original colors
- No removal, rubble, or new flooring costs
- The character of the home is preserved
State-of-the-art devices and equipment
In tile grinding jobs in Alanya, the first thing that determines the quality of the work on old mosaic tile and tile floors is the right equipment. We choose the machines and materials according to the type of surface and the location of the job, and we do not use products that are harmful to human or environmental health.
- Diamond abrasives suitable for mosaic tile
- Heavy-body floor grinding machines
- Wet vacuum machines that instantly extract dirty water
- Color-matched filler for joints and cracks
When working wet, we vacuum up the dirty water at the same time, so the areas not being worked on can continue to be used while the job is in progress. When the job is finished, we also explain how to do the daily cleaning and maintenance of the surface.
World-class quality
No matter how good the machines and materials are, it is the craftsman's hand that produces a clean, lasting surface. Over time, old mosaic tiles settle at different levels from one another; we first level out the height differences between the tiles, then polish them.
For years, our team has been carrying out tile grinding work in hotels, residential complexes, villas, and businesses across Alanya, including the city center, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Tosmur, Cikcilli, Avsallar, Türkler, Konaklı, and Okurcalar, as well as all the other neighborhoods. On every job, we determine the steps according to the condition of the surface and take the same care at every stage.
Pricing and quotes
Tile honing is priced per square meter. We give the final price after seeing the job on site; the survey is free. The price depends on:
- Size of the area
- Condition and age of the tile
- Number of pieces to be repaired and secured
- Grout renewal
- Impregnation
For a preliminary estimate, just send a few photos and approximate measurements via WhatsApp.
