A longtime regular elderly customer is in a bind and wants me to help finish a project. They have installed a ceramc tile floor to replace a linoleum and carpet floor on a slab. They went with the tile subcontactors suggeation of 20x20rectified tiles After 2 attempts by two separate tilers, the job still isnt right. The first one tried to install with a seamless look and was unsuccessful, leaving lips and an uneven installation. The 2nd one said he needed to rip up the entire floor and reinstall with a 1/8 inch groutline. They did a much better job comparatively, however there are still lots of sharp lipd edges. They filled the grout to the top and did a nice job smothing it out for the most part.
My question is, is there a tool or method to sand or soften the lip edges without having to rip up the floor again? The tile sub says this is acceptable, but i have never seen this before.
Thanks for any advice.
