1. Reliable Service Tailored to Your Schedule

We pride ourselves on punctuality, arriving on time or giving you a call to let you know our status—it's as simple as that. Forget about the frustration of waiting around and watching the clock, wondering when our team will arrive.

2. Experience Our Expertise in Action

Our skilled technicians inspect stone surfaces with the same precision that wine connoisseurs apply when tasting fine vintages. We quickly identify issues such as varying densities, hidden veins, or uneven lippage between tiles, allowing us to adjust our approach on-site to ensure optimal results.

3. Cutting-Edge Tools for Gentle Surface Treatment

Our advanced equipment, including industrial diamond tools, low-moisture scrubbers, and dust-free grinders, may sound intimidating, but they are actually gentler on stone than traditional supermarket mops. The result? A brilliant, long-lasting shine and a surface that is significantly easier to maintain.

4. Tailored Solutions for Every Surface Type

The unique porous characteristics of travertine require specific filling techniques, while the delicate sheen of marble calls for a specialized polish that differs from that of resilient porcelain. We never adopt a one-size-fits-all strategy in our treatments; our care is customized to meet the specific needs of each material.

Common Stone and Tile Issues We Resolve with Expertise

Marble: Restore That Stunning Mirror-Like Finish

Heavy foot traffic can cause 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.

Travertine: Remove Grimy Pits and Holes

Travertine is infamous for its small pits that trap dirt and grime. We conduct a comprehensive 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

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 rejuvenates the surface and adds a protective stain-guard sealer, ensuring that spills can be easily wiped away.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 concert to reveal the rich terracotta tones.

Porcelain: Stain-Resistant but Not Impervious

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

Ceramic & Grout: Quick Fixes for Everyday Shine

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

The Craft of Restoration—A Peek Behind the Scenes

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.

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 a luxuriously 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 Flawless 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.

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 Answered: Understanding Our 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.

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?
Absolutely. We color-match resin fillers on-site, and after polishing, the repairs become virtually invisible unless you know exactly where to look.

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.

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.

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, ready to help you achieve the beauty your floor deserves.
