gunsboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 ... a burnt kitchen tile??? I just moved to a new apartment. I am still hurting from paying my security deposit on fixing the carpet damage I did in the previous place. This time I went through the trouble of buying a cheap thick carpet to put the hookah on top of it to protect the new carpet. But guess what, I was moving the coal from the top of the oven to the coal bucket that I have. BOOM, son of [url="http://mailto:B$#$#@CH"]B$#$#@CH[/url], The freakin thing just falls down on the kitchen floor and spreads into 6-7 pieces that I burned my fingers trying to minimize the already done damage. I started even spitting on one of them while carrying the other ones Now I have like 5 larger burns (1-3 cm), and a bunch of little ones. Any ideas how to fix this, changing the tiles is out of question with the freakin in-floor heating I guess ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Haze Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sorry, just had a mental picture of you in a panic, spitting all over trying to put the coals out. Really can't help with the tile though. Maybe you can just paint the whole floor one solid color. No one will ever no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think when the time comes to move out, he can leave the carpet over the burn marks and the super will never know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsboy Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 I FOUND A SOLUTION, I used a knife to carve out the burnt holes in the plastic/rubber tiles. I bought a white filler and mixed it with sand that has the same color as the drawings on the tiles. filled the holes and played around with the design. They are almost not visible but they have less shine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCaterpillar Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 If there is an actual indentation from the burn then i think gunsboy gave the best suggestions. If its just black on top of the tile you might be able to use some oven cleaner and a heavy duty brush to brush out the burn marks. If your a real handyman(which i am far from it) you could replace the tiles with the burn marks on them but personally that would be way too labor intensive for me. Dont feel too bad though one time i dropped a charcoal on my moms vinyl flooring ooo man it was horrible it broke into pieces and melted into the floor. I still have not heard the end of it 2 years later . You could also call up a guy that does tiles and have him come out and check it out maybe it will be cheap to replace a few tiles wouldnt hurt to find out.

MR Bubble Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 If you are talking about lenoleum squares, you should be able to replace just the effected sqare. But first, take a picture of the tile and take it with you to match up at the hardware store. The hardest part would be getting the old one up. They stick hard! Another challenge is to do it without damaging any other pieces. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
