Polishing & Grinding Services
Most dull, scratched or uneven stone does not need replacing. It needs grinding back.
Stone is not a finish applied to a surface — it is solid material all the way through. That single fact is why a marble floor that looks finished can usually be brought back to better than new by removing a fraction of a millimetre from the top.
Grinding is the part clients underestimate. Where tiles sit at slightly different heights, the edges you feel underfoot are lippage. Progressive diamond passes cut the entire floor to one true plane, so it becomes genuinely flat rather than merely level. This is also what makes an old floor look like a single surface again instead of a grid of individual pieces.
From there the finish is your decision. We take the surface up through progressively finer diamond grits to a matt, satin or full-gloss polish. On marble, a crystallisation pass adds gloss and hardens the immediate surface against daily wear. Granite is polished mechanically to its natural depth of shine.
Damage is treated separately. Oil and organic stains are drawn out with poultices rather than scrubbed at, because scrubbing drives them deeper. Acid etch marks — the dull patches left by lemon, vinegar or the wrong cleaning product — are a physical change to the surface and are corrected mechanically, not chemically. Chips and cracks are filled with colour-matched resin and polished flush.
What restoration achieves
Genuinely flat floors
Lippage between tiles ground out so the floor reads and feels as one plane.
The finish you choose
Matt, satin or full gloss — decided by how far up the grit sequence we take the surface.
Damage corrected
Stains drawn out with poultices, etch marks cut back mechanically, chips filled and polished flush.
Protected afterward
Re-sealed on completion, with honest re-seal intervals rather than an open-ended promise.
What the work covers
Restoration is quoted after inspection. What a floor needs varies enormously, and quoting it unseen would be guessing.
Typical specification
Before quoting a replacement floor, ask whether the existing one can be ground back. In most cases it can — and the honest answer costs a fraction of the alternative.
The most common cause of dull marble is not wear. It is cleaning products: anything acidic, and most general-purpose bathroom sprays, will etch marble slowly across the whole floor. We include written guidance on what to use, because the finish we leave behind depends on it.
We also restore stone we did not install. Send photographs of the worst area and the whole floor, tell us roughly the area, and we will advise whether restoration is genuinely the right call.
