Amtico Repairs?

paddypaws101

My Amtico tiled flooring ( spacia classic warm stone) has been badly damaged by an electrician shunting his heavy tool box all over it and causing deep scratches to the top layer of the tiles.:mad:

When I had the flooring fitted a few years ago, the fitter first applied a levelling screed to the concrete floor, then next day a damp proof screed before laying the tiles.
is it possible to replace damaged tiles without breeching this damp proof layer, or do we need to rip ALL the tiles out, re-screed and then re-tile?

The damage was actually done by my electrician who has accepted responsibility and I presume he can claim on his insurance so I want to know exactly what needs to be done to PROPERLY correct the problem before we begin discussions.

I believe you can just replace the tiles. Take them up and remove any adhesive....then relay as normal

You certainly can get single tiles replaced, but don't delay as designs change and are discontinued. If you contract Amtico directly they will be able to give you contract details of approved fitters. Use the opportunity to get a few extra tiles as well, it could happen again and the tiles could be discontinued by then.

Well the flooring company came to have a look today and as soon as he looked at the floor he knew that stripping and repolishing was not an option.
He then went on to tell me that although the damaged tiles could be replaced, they would obviously stand out and look different to the remaining tiles. He recommends stripping out the whole floor and replacing
It is pretty much what I had thought myself so not really a surprise. the problem now is the timing of re-screeding and working out how to keep my cats off the screed while it dries!
