Common Issues with Stone and Tile That We Expertly Address

Marble: Restore That Dazzling Mirror-Like Finish

Frequent foot traffic can lead to micro-scratches that dull the natural brilliance of marble. Our diamond grinding technique removes lippage, levels grout, and polishes the surface to reflect light beautifully, restoring its original luminosity and elegance.

Travertine: Remove Grimy Pits and Holes

Travertine is well-known 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 preserves its warm, honey hues while effectively preventing dirt accumulation.

Limestone: Transform Etched Surfaces into Elegant Finishes

Spills from wine or citrus juices can cause unsightly acid etching on limestone. We skillfully hone away these marks, smooth out uneven edges, and finish with your preferred choice of a soft sheen or silky matte to restore its timeless elegance and charm.

Terrazzo: Combining Durability with Stunning Aesthetics

While terrazzo is celebrated for its durability, it can lose its shine under the weight of groceries and high heels. Our multi-step polishing technique revitalizes the surface and applies a protective stain-guard sealer, ensuring that spills can be easily wiped away without causing lasting damage.

Sandstone: Thorough Cleaning for Hidden Areas

Utilizing rotary brushes, we effectively extract dirt from between the grains of sandstone, while pressure rinsing removes any residual debris. A UV-stable sealant locks out future dirt while allowing the stone to breathe naturally and maintain its integrity.

Slate: Achieve Striking Beauty Without the Dust

Cleft slate’s natural grooves can accumulate dust over time. We carefully strip away old coatings, scrub the textured surfaces, and finish with an enhancer that beautifully highlights the color variations and amplifies its natural beauty.

Terracotta: Rustic Charm with Long-Lasting Protection

Unglazed terracotta tends to absorb oils readily. We meticulously strip, neutralize, and dry the surface before applying a durable, natural-looking seal that protects its rustic beauty and integrity for years to come.

Victorian & Edwardian Tiles: Expert Preservation of Heritage

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

Quarry Tiles: Revitalizing Classic Kitchen Styles

Sturdy red quarry tiles may seem hopelessly dirty, but beneath the grime lies their intrinsic beauty. Our alkaline degreasers, hot rinses, and breathable sealers work in tandem to reveal the rich terracotta tones that characterize these classic tiles.

Porcelain: Stain-Resistant Yet Not Impervious

Affordable porcelain can trap dirt within its microscopic pores, resulting in a dull look. We utilize specialized pads to dislodge the grey haze and apply a nano-sealer to prevent future staining, ensuring your tiles remain pristine.

Ceramic & Grout: Quick Solutions for Everyday Shine

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 rejuvenate your kitchen, restoring its inviting and appealing atmosphere.

The Restoration Process—A Detailed Look into Our Methodology

1. Thorough Inspection & Testing
   We carefully apply different solutions to inconspicuous areas of your floor, observing their reactions to ensure no surprises arise during the restoration process, leading to optimal results.

2. Grinding & Honing Techniques for Superior Finish
   Think of this process as exfoliation for stone surfaces. Coarse diamond tools flatten any lippage, finer grits eliminate scratches, and ultra-fine pads create a luxuriously smooth finish that showcases the stone’s natural beauty.

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

4. Meticulous Detailing for Impeccable Results
   For cracks and chips, we use color-matched resin fillers directly 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 enhance the overall look.

5. Comprehensive After-Care Kit Provided for Maintenance
   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, ensuring they remain in pristine condition.

Your Questions Answered: Understanding Our 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 shoes can be worn the following morning. Larger areas 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, maintaining dust levels significantly lower than those typically experienced in DIY sanding projects, thereby ensuring a cleaner environment.

Q: Can you repair deep chips or cracks in the stone?
Absolutely. We expertly color-match resin fillers on-site, and after polishing, the repairs become virtually invisible unless you know precisely where to look, restoring the surface to its original beauty.

Q: How frequently should sealing or polishing be repeated?
High-traffic commercial floors may require annual touch-ups, while residential areas typically retain their shine for three to five years before necessitating a brief maintenance visit to ensure longevity.

Q: Will I need to move furniture before your arrival?
It’s beneficial if you can move small items like rugs, chairs, and potted plants beforehand. We are more than happy to carefully slide larger pieces and place felt pads under their legs before returning them to their original spots, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Every stone carries a story, with each mark and layer of grime narrating a rich history. When you remove the dirt, you reveal the cherished chapter of your floor—the dazzling veins, the warm colors, and the reflections that enhance the atmosphere of your home. Are you prepared to let your floor shine once more? Repair Restore Revive is just a call or click away, eager to assist you in achieving the beauty your floor genuinely deserves.
