We have Marley type vinyl floor tiles in our kitchen - the surface has gone and they are dificult to clean. How can we clean them up and re seal them ? (we're in the UK)

Having been involved in theater for many years; I'm familiar with "Marley", and it's properties. Obviously Dance Floor Marley isn't meant to shine; and sadly, technology hasn't come up with ways to keep it stain and abrasion resistant.
On the Dance floor Marley our cleaners use a Buffer, with a gentle pad, and Mineral Spirits, to restore the flooring. That has the best effect without leaving residue. Certainly in your kitchen a buffer may be impractical; but the Mineral Spirits is still a decent cleaning agent.
In your case, as is with any floor, especially in a kitchen; it endures more than its share of abuse. You state the surface has gone? Do you mean any gloss that may have existed, or the actual pattern/color? If the tiles are actually worn through the pattern/or color then it seems it may be time to replace.

You could try looking at Varithian, It is a clear hard coat liquid that will seal floors I have seen it used on hard wood floors with good results. Ask your paint or hardware dealer about its uses. It might be easier to replace the tiles.
