Common Stone and Tile Problems We Skillfully Resolve

Marble: Restore That Gorgeous Mirror-Like Finish

Intense foot traffic can create micro-scratches that diminish the natural brilliance of marble. Our diamond grinding technique effectively eliminates lippage, levels grout, and polishes the surface to beautifully reflect light, restoring its original splendor.

Travertine: Eliminate Grimy Pits and Holes

Travertine is notorious for its small pits that trap dirt and grime. We perform a thorough deep clean, replace any missing fillers, and seal the surface with a breathable protector that retains its warm, honey hues while preventing dirt accumulation.

Limestone: Transform Etched Surfaces into Elegant Finishes

Spills from wine or citrus juices can lead to unsightly acid etching on limestone. We expertly hone away these blemishes, smooth out uneven edges, and finish with your choice of a soft sheen or silky matte to restore its timeless beauty.

Terrazzo: Strong Yet Stunning

While terrazzo is known for its durability, it can lose its shine under the weight of groceries and high heels. Our multi-step polishing process revitalizes the surface and adds a protective stain-guard sealer, ensuring that spills can be easily wiped away without leaving marks.

Sandstone: Thorough Cleaning for Hidden Areas

Using rotary brushes, we efficiently remove dirt from between the grains of sandstone, while pressure rinsing eradicates any remaining debris. A UV-stable sealant locks out future dirt while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.

Slate: Achieve Striking Beauty Without Dust

Cleft slate’s natural grooves can gather dust over time. We carefully remove old coatings, scrub the textured surfaces, and finish with an enhancer that highlights the stunning color variations.

Terracotta: Rustic Charm with Reliable Protection

Unglazed terracotta tends to absorb oil readily. We meticulously strip, neutralize, and dry the surface before applying a durable, natural-looking seal to protect its rustic charm.

Victorian & Edwardian Tiles: Preserving Heritage with Precision

Old wax, paint specks, and remnants of carpet glue can cling to these historic tiles. After a comprehensive cleaning process, we apply a color-boosting impregnator and finish with a micro-wax to achieve a refined, low sheen that respects their heritage.

Quarry Tiles: Revitalizing Kitchen Classics

Sturdy red quarry tiles may appear hopelessly dirty, but beneath the grime lies their inherent beauty. Our alkaline degreasers, hot rinses, and breathable sealers work in harmony to reveal the rich terracotta tones.

Porcelain: Stain-Resistant but Vulnerable

Cost-effective porcelain can trap dirt within its microscopic pores, resulting in a dull appearance. We utilize specialized pads to lift the grey haze and apply a nano-sealer to block future staining.

Ceramic & Grout: Quick Fixes for Everyday Sparkle

Glazed ceramic tiles are easy to clean, yet grout lines often darken first. We use steam cleaning to refresh the grout, apply a clear stain-blocker, and restore your kitchen to its former brilliance.

The Art of Restoration—A Behind-the-Scenes Look

1. Thorough Inspection & Testing
   We carefully apply various treatments to inconspicuous areas of your floor, observing their reactions to ensure no surprises arise during the restoration process.

2. Grinding & Honing Techniques
   Think of this process as exfoliation for stone surfaces. Coarse diamond tools flatten any lippage, finer grits eliminate scratches, and ultra-fine pads create an exquisitely smooth finish.

3. Precision Polishing or Sealing
   Hard stones like marble, granite, and terrazzo can be polished to achieve a natural gloss, while softer or textured stones such as travertine and slate maintain a matte finish but gain protection through high-performance sealers.

4. Meticulous Detailing for Impeccable Results
   For cracks and chips, we use color-matched resin fillers on-site. Missing grout is seamlessly blended with new lines to match the original shade. We ensure edges are expertly buffed, skirting boards are wiped clean, and furniture is carefully repositioned to their original places.

5. Comprehensive After-Care Kit Provided
   You will receive a bottle of pH-neutral cleaner, a microfiber pad, and quick care tips: avoid bleach or vinegar, and instead, take a moment to admire your beautifully restored floors.

Your Questions Addressed: Understanding Our Comprehensive Services

Q: How long will my space be unavailable during the cleaning process?
Most kitchens and hallways can be ready for light foot traffic within four hours, and you can wear shoes the following morning. Larger spaces or significant grinding may require an additional day for completion.

Q: Is the cleaning process dusty?
Our advanced machines utilize continuous water feed and vacuum extraction, keeping dust levels significantly lower than those typically encountered in DIY sanding projects.

Q: Can you repair deep chips or cracks in the stone surfaces?
Absolutely. We color-match resin fillers on-site, and after polishing, the repairs blend seamlessly, becoming virtually invisible unless you know exactly where to look.

Q: How often should sealing or polishing be repeated for optimal care?
High-traffic commercial floors may require annual touch-ups, while residential areas typically maintain their shine for three to five years before needing a brief maintenance visit.

Q: Will I need to relocate furniture before your arrival?
It’s beneficial if you can move small items like rugs, chairs, and potted plants ahead of time. We are happy to carefully slide larger pieces and place felt pads under their legs before returning them to their original spots.

Every stone tells a story, with each mark and layer of grime narrating a rich history. By removing the dirt, you unveil the cherished narrative of your floor—the striking veins, the warm colors, and the reflections that enhance the ambiance of your home.
