Seal for vinyl tiles

[GB]

Can anyone recommend a suitable seal to paint on top of some vinyl tiles, please?

Why? Jonathan

It is certainly not unusual for seals to be applied to vinyl, as well as to ceramic tiles in hospitality environments.

I did wonder whether to explain why I need this...

I laid some sticky backed vinyl tiles in an upstairs bathroom. When I laid them, I was careful to make sure they all butted up tightly, but some gaps in the joins have appeared more or less overnight.

I'm looking for something to fill the gaps, and I thought a seal painted over the top would do the job quite nicely.

This whole job was a foolish mistake, by the way. Laying flooring is an incredibly skilled job, and I should just have got a man in. What I obviously needed in a bathroom was sheet vinyl, rather than Blue Peter style sticky back plastic, but I was quite sure that I couldn't lay vinyl sheet.

I don't think anything is going to make them waterproof. It might do so for a little while but walking one them is going to rapidly break the seal by flexing the joints etc.

Why not? A sheet of vinyl over the whole lot would do what you want and I don't see why it should be particularly difficult.

I don't think seals can paint.
