Replacing and Renovating Old Tile with Large-Format Porcelain Stoneware and Natural Stone in Kyiv: The Full Cycle

Dismantling old tile + preparation + laying new large format is the most common renovation scenario for resale housing. Without the right approach, the new surface comes loose after 3-12 months.

Stages of the full replacement cycle (M-STONE)

• Dismantling old tile and adhesive (rotary hammer + breaker + industrial-grade vacuum cleaner).
• Cleaning the substrate down to concrete/screed.
• Checking load-bearing capacity (cracks, voids: filling/reinforcement).
• Levelling (self-levelling compounds or plastering to beacons).
• Waterproofing (wet areas).
• Laying large format / travertine / marble / onyx.
• Grouting the joints + impregnation.

Typical problems of old substrates and solutions

• Voids under old tile → tapping + adhesive injection.
• Weak screed → mesh reinforcement + self-levelling floor.
• Height differences > 30 mm → multi-layer levelling.
• No old waterproofing → mandatory restoration.

The current cost of work for your project can be calculated in the online calculators or confirmed by the manager: it depends on the material, the slab format and the condition of the substrate. The consultation is free.
