Natural Stone Floor Restoration & Seal....
Natural stone ages and loses the desired finish or gets damaged by foreign objects, spills of unwanted liquid, and in time fails to offer an attractive look. Replacing it will not solve the problem, it will just be a very expensive way of repeating history. We offer extensive and complete stone restoration, which results in a better surface than the original one.
Diamond grinding uses mechanical technology to remove the damaged surface and reveal a new and fresh layer of stone. This method consists of 8 stages of diamond grinding, vitrification and sealing. We use an impregnating seal that penetrates the stone and protects the stone against any spills and stains.
Natural Stone Maintenance (Vitrification & Seal)
Natural stone is a high maintenance surface and needs to be maintained on a tight schedule to make sure that you have a clean and shiny surface protected against stains and spillages.
Natural stone, manmade stone, porcelain, ceramic, terracotta…professional cleaning & seal
All these surfaces can be cleaned using the right chemicals and tools. After the surface is dry the seal can be applied.
The majority of professional stonework nowadays is related to the restoration of scratched, damaged, stained and dull surfaces. The accumulation of grime, dirt, high traffic, and lack of proper maintenance contribute to the stone’s dramatic deterioration and premature aging. We undertake many types of restoration and refinishing tasks including deep resurfacing and levelling, fissure repair, stain and stun mark removal, polishing, crystallisation and dedicated masonry work using a wide variety of methods and techniques.
We truly believe that every stone restoration problem has its own unique history, therefore it deserves its own approach. We use the most reliable equipment, diamonds and products available on the market today to achieve superb results. Consequently, we have achieved the highest professional results and customer satisfaction. We undertake restorations for the following stone types: marble, granite, terrazzo, travertine, limestone, sandstone, slate, terracotta.
Marble Protection
There is a common misconception that marble, granite and other natural stones are very durable minerals that do not require surface protection and post-restoration care. This misconception has led to many home owners, who have heavily invested in expensive stone, getting unexpected and disappointing results. It is crucial to remember that all-natural stone is porous and can stain easily. Granite has low porosity whereas limestone has high porosity. Marble is right in between the two. The following test proves your stone’s permeability: Leave a wet rusty nail on a marble surface and you will find an ugly reddish spot on the stone after a period of time.
The spot is caused by rust penetrating into the marble.. There is a high chance of eradicating this spot if it is cleaned swiftly. However, if left unclean after a couple of weeks this mark might be impossible to remove completely. Stone changes colour by absorbing rust as it absorbs virtually any liquid. Stone can also be etched, stained, discoloured and corroded. We provide the right solution to protect your stone. We use highly penetrating oleo-phobic and hydrophobic impregnators, penetrating waxes and sealers.
Our high-class craftsmanship and high-quality products will provide long-lasting protection for your marble surface.

Marble and Stone maintenance
Today, more and more “decorative” marbles are being used for their beauty, ignoring the practical use of their strength. These marbles are generally very prone to abrasion, vertical compactions, scratching and staining. The key cause of dull polished stone floors is heavy foot traffic. The “grind” of dust, sand, and other fine, gritty substances abrades the finish.
Despite the fact that the scratches may appear unnoticeable now, they will eventually cover the whole area and light will no longer reflect off the surface.
Maintenance is a key factor in ensuring continued post-installation or post-restoration appearance and longevity. Set up a Professional Maintenance Program with us to implement a cycle of periodic low-cost restoration procedures.
Our Process Involves Several Steps
First step is diamond grinding to remove all of the damage endured by your stone floor. The type and sequence of diamonds we use depends on the variety of stone. Once all of the damage to your stone floor is removed, our skilled technicians polish, buff, and seal the stone for an astonishing, durable finish.
In most cases, our technicians use wet diamond honing to ensure that there is no dust flying around. For extra protection, we mask, seal off, and protect all surrounding environments including carpeting, woodwork, and other areas not being treated. While your stone floor is being restored, the rest of your environment remains spotless clean.
