Porcelain tile polishing
What we can do is to remove the scratches of the tile by grinding , then do polishing work. The polishing will last as long as the original tile shining. However, please bear in mind that if the grout lines of the tiles is lower than tiles, then some of our polishing gel may stuck there and change the cement grout line color to lighter. But this cannot avoid and you can only choose to remove the scratches or to have different color grout line.
Porcelain tile is harder than marble, so the polishing cost is higher than polish marble. But the outcome will surprise you.
