3. State-of-the-Art Equipment for Gentle Surface Treatment

Our advanced equipment, which includes industrial diamond tools, low-moisture scrubbers, and dust-free grinders, may sound intimidating, but they are actually gentler on stone surfaces than conventional supermarket mops. The outcome? A brilliant, long-lasting shine and a surface that becomes significantly easier to maintain over time.

The unique porous characteristics of travertine necessitate specific filling techniques, while the delicate sheen of marble requires a specialised polish that differs from that of resilient porcelain.

Common Stone and Tile Challenges We Expertly Resolve

Marble: Restore That Stunning Mirror-Like Finish

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

Travertine: Eliminate Grimy Pits and Holes

Travertine is notorious for its small pits that trap dirt and grime. We carry out a comprehensive deep-clean, replace any missing fillers, and seal the surface with a breathable protector that retains its warm, honey hues while effectively 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 and appeal.

Terrazzo: Durable Yet Stunning

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 effortlessly wiped away without lasting damage.

Sandstone: In-Depth Cleaning for Hidden Areas

Utilising 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 and maintain its integrity.

Slate: Achieve Striking Beauty Without Dust

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

Terracotta: Rustic Charm with Reliable Protection

Unglazed terracotta tends to absorb oil readily. We methodically strip, neutralise, and dry the surface before applying a durable, natural-looking seal to safeguard its rustic beauty and integrity for years to come.

Victorian & Edwardian Tiles: Preserving Heritage with Expertise

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

Quarry Tiles: Revitalising 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 harmoniously to reveal the rich terracotta tones that define these classic tiles.

Porcelain: Stain-Resistant but Not Impervious

Economical porcelain can trap dirt within its microscopic pores, resulting in a dull appearance. We employ specialised pads to dislodge the grey haze and apply a nano-sealer to prevent future staining and keep your tiles looking pristine.

Ceramic & Grout: Quick Fixes for Everyday Shine

Glazed ceramic tiles are straightforward to clean, yet grout lines often darken first. We utilise steam cleaning to refresh the grout, apply a clear stain-blocker, and rejuvenate your kitchen to its former glory, making it inviting and appealing.

The Art of Restoration—An Insight into Our Process

1. Comprehensive Inspection & Testing
   We meticulously apply various 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
   Consider 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 enhances the stone's natural beauty.

3. Precision Polishing or 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 lasting beauty.

4. Meticulous Detailing for Flawless Results
   For cracks and chips, we use colour-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 enhance the overall look.

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, ensuring they remain in pristine condition.

Your Questions Addressed: Gaining Insight into 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 you can wear shoes the following morning. Larger areas or significant grinding may necessitate an additional day for completion.

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

Q: Can you repair deep chips or cracks in the stone?
Absolutely. We expertly colour-match resin fillers on-site, and after polishing, the repairs become virtually invisible unless you know exactly 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 maintain their shine for three to five years before needing a brief maintenance visit to ensure longevity.

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 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 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 colours, 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, eager to help you achieve the beauty your floor truly deserves.
