Common Stone and Tile Challenges We Address with Professional Expertise

Marble: Restore That Dazzling Mirror-Like Finish

Heavy foot traffic can result in micro-scratches that diminish the natural brilliance of marble flooring. Our diamond grinding technique effectively eliminates lippage, levels grout, and polishes the surface to beautifully reflect light, reviving its original radiance.

Travertine: Eliminate Grimy Pits and Holes

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

Limestone: Transform Etched Surfaces into Elegant Finishes

Spills from wine or citrus juices can lead to unsightly acid etching on limestone. We skillfully 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: Durable Yet Stunning Beauty

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

Sandstone: In-Depth Cleaning for Hidden Areas

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

Slate: Achieve Striking Beauty Without Dust Accumulation

Cleft slate’s natural grooves can gather dust over time. We carefully strip away old coatings, scrub the textured surfaces, and finish with an enhancer that beautifully highlights the color variations, making your slate look pristine.

Terracotta: Rustic Charm with Reliable Protection

Unglazed terracotta tends to absorb oil readily. We methodically strip, neutralize, and dry the surface before applying a durable, natural-looking seal to safeguard its rustic beauty while preventing staining.

Victorian & Edwardian Tiles: Preserving Heritage with Expertise

Old wax, paint specks, and even 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, preserving their historical integrity.

Quarry Tiles: Revitalizing Timeless Kitchen Classics

Sturdy red quarry tiles may seem 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 that make these tiles timeless.

Porcelain: Stain-Resistant but Not Invincible

Economical porcelain can trap dirt within its microscopic pores, leading to a dull appearance. We utilize specialized pads to dislodge the grey haze and apply a nano-sealer to prevent future staining and maintain its pristine look.

Ceramic & Grout: Quick Fixes for Everyday Shine

Glazed ceramic tiles are easy to clean, yet grout lines often darken faster. We employ steam cleaning to refresh the grout, apply a clear stain-blocker, and rejuvenate your kitchen to its former glory.

The Art of Restoration—An Inside Look at Our Process

1. Thorough Inspection & Testing for Precision
   We meticulously apply various solutions to inconspicuous areas of your floor, monitoring their reactions to ensure no unexpected surprises arise during the restoration process.

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

3. Precision Polishing or Sealing for Lasting Beauty
   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 Flawless Finish
   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 restore your space.

5. Comprehensive After-Care Kit Provided for Your Convenience
   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 Answered: Understanding Our Comprehensive Services

Q: How long will my space be out of use 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 necessitate an additional day for full restoration.

Q: Is the cleaning process dusty?
Our advanced machinery utilizes continuous water feed and vacuum extraction, keeping dust levels significantly lower than those typically encountered in DIY sanding projects, making the process cleaner and more efficient.

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

Q: How frequently should sealing or polishing be repeated?
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 to keep them looking their best.

Q: Will I need to move furniture before your arrival?
It’s helpful if you can move small items like rugs, chairs, and potted plants in advance. We are happy to carefully slide larger pieces and place felt pads under their legs before returning them to their original spots, ensuring minimal disruption to your space.

Every stone tells a story, with each mark and layer of grime narrating a rich history. When you remove the dirt, you unveil the cherished chapter of your floor—the dazzling veins, the warm colors, and the reflections that enhance the ambiance of your home. Are you ready to let your floor shine once again? Repair Restore Revive is just a call or click away, prepared to help you achieve the stunning beauty your floors truly deserve.
