I have heard of putting a sealer similar to those used to seal acid stained concrete floors to give the tile a glazed look, but have no experience with it. A failure would worry me.
You might check with others in your other thread, but I believe that hex floor tiles do not a shiny glaze on them, even as made today.

Trust in God, but row away from the rocks.
when u scrub floors, add Borax laundry powder in the mix, about a cup w a gallon of water and some soap it "soft" polishes tile and stone surfaces will take a few washes wrks on porcelain coat of tubs and sinks where cleanser dulled out the surface, works on fiberglass too your old white tile could be marble or porcelain, shoudn't have a gloss shine
Interesting you should ask! I took this pic tonight to post
I just had this done on a project I am working on. Unique Refinishers does it, and it has a great guarantee - like 20 years.
Original - brown and pink

Now - shiny!

Takes about 6 hours; ready to use in 24; about $675 for tub and shower; included some repair to cracked tile and a cracked soap dish. They do floors, too.
Look for them on the web

Do you know If there is a rule of thumb about where a border can be placed within a tile design? I mean is 4ft from the top of tub normal or is there such a thing?
I don't know of any rules of thumb. I know there are some "classical" ratios for room wall proportions, relative to the heights of chair rail, picture rail, and crown molding and baseboard.
On tile, it may be just whatever looks "right"
