Victorian Tiles

Yes, you can paint Victorian tiles, provided you use the right kind of paint. For this, you'll need paint that's designed to resist moisture and is easy to wipe clean.

Before painting, it's important to prep the tiles properly by sanding them down and applying a suitable primer. You'll also need to apply at least two coats of paint. Keep in mind, painted Victorian tiles won't look quite as polished as original ones, and they will chip or flake over time – so some upkeep will be needed later on.

Our Victorian tiles are made of either ceramic or porcelain. Porcelain tiles are generally more water-resistant and durable compared to ceramic tiles, making them a good option as a floor tile.

Ceramic tiles are slightly easier to clean and maintain, which is why they’re often used as kitchen wall tiles, and they’re typically slightly cheaper than porcelain options.

Yes, you can steam clean our Victorian tiles as they are made from either porcelain or ceramic. Steam cleaners are great for removing dirt, grime, and grease as well as sanitising your tiles.

Use a steam cleaner in combination with a tile cleaning solution for maximum effectiveness.

The number of Victorian tiles you will need depends on the size of the floor or wall you’re looking to cover.

We have handy wall area and floor area calculators that can help you work out how many Victorian tiles you’ll need for your project.
