Ready to refresh your granite SURFACES?
Our Process
We follow a meticulous granite restoration process to bring your surfaces back to their original shine. Here’s how we do it:
Initial Assessment
First, we conduct a thorough inspection of your granite surfaces. This helps us identify scratches, stains, chips, and any other imperfections. By understanding the specific issues, we can tailor our restoration approach to meet your needs.
Surface Preparation
Next, we prepare the granite for restoration. We begin by cleaning the surface to remove dirt, grime, and any loose debris. This step ensures that the restoration process is effective and long-lasting.
Diamond Grinding
To eliminate surface imperfections and level uneven areas, we use advanced diamond grinding techniques. This process smoothens the granite, removing scratches and minor damage.
Honing and Polishing
After grinding, we proceed to honing and polishing. Using finer abrasives, we refine the granite surface to enhance its sheen and depth. Consequently, this brings out the natural beauty of the stone, creating a mirror-like finish.
Stain Removal
If there are any stubborn stains, we apply specialised stain removal treatments. This ensures that your granite surfaces are spotless and gleaming.
Repairs & Restoration
In case of chips or cracks, our skilled craftsmen perform precise repairs. We use colour-matched materials to restore the integrity of your granite, making the repairs virtually unnoticeable.
Grout Cleaning and Re-grouting
To refresh the overall appearance, we clean and re-grout the joints if necessary. This step eliminates discoloured grout lines and prevents future staining.
Sealing and Protection
Finally, we apply a premium-quality sealant to your granite surfaces. This protective barrier penetrates deep into the stone, guarding against stains, moisture, and daily wear. As a result, your granite remains beautiful and durable for years to come.
Final Inspection
Before we finish, we conduct a comprehensive final inspection. We ensure that every aspect of the restoration meets our high standards and your expectations.
Benefits of Granite Restoration
Restoring your granite surfaces offers numerous benefits that enhance both the beauty and value of your property. Here are some key advantages:
- Restores Natural Beauty: Over time, granite can lose its shine due to daily wear and tear. Granite restoration brings back the original lustre, making your surfaces look brand new.
- Extends Lifespan: By addressing scratches, stains, and minor damages, restoration extends the lifespan of your granite surfaces. This means you can enjoy their beauty for many more years.
- Cost-Effective: Instead of replacing your granite countertops or floors, restoration is a more affordable option. It rejuvenates your existing surfaces without the high cost of new installations.
- Enhances Property Value: Well-maintained granite surfaces increase the overall value of your property. They make your home or business more attractive to potential buyers or clients.
- Prevents Further Damage: By sealing and protecting your granite, you prevent future stains and damage. This proactive approach saves you money on potential costly repairs down the line.
- Improves Hygiene: Smooth, sealed granite surfaces are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the accumulation of dirt and bacteria. This promotes a healthier environment in your home or workplace.
When Is the Right Time?
- Visible Scratches and Chips: Fix scratches, chips, or cracks promptly to prevent them from worsening.
- Dull or Faded Appearance: Restore shine to dull granite surfaces, especially those that are focal points.
- Stubborn Stains: Remove stains that regular cleaning can’t eliminate, like wine or oil stains.
- Etching and Discolouration: Correct damage from acidic substances to restore the granite’s uniform look.
- After Renovations or Events: Restore granite surfaces that have suffered wear or damage during renovations or events.
- Before Selling Property: Enhance curb appeal and potentially increase your property’s value by restoring granite surfaces.

Happy to recommend him👌Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David T2024-04-05Irfan was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We engaged him to clean and seal two shower ensuites with terrazzo, and five marble vanities. Right from the initial enquiry, he gave us a very good feeling. He was responsive, punctual and diligent. What I really appreciated about Irfan is he cared a lot about his work. He laid drop sheets to protect our entrance and the floors in between the two bathrooms. And he also patched for us a small crack and applied new silicon in one of the shower ensuites. I will be keeping him in our tradie ‘rolodex’ and calling on his service for our outdoor area. Thank you Irfan for your great service!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Alastair Jensen-Mackinnon2024-04-03Irfan from iStone Care came yesterday to clean, hone and seal some travertine tiles in two of our bathrooms. His quote was the most competitive and sent very quickly. He arrived on time at 8am and was courteous, polite and hard working. He came with drop sheets which he laid from the front door to our bathroom. The standard of his work was excellent, we could not fault a thing.

He responded promptly to our inquiry with a written quotation. We had to change our arrangements. This wasn't a problem for Istone. Irfan advised he would arrive at 8am which he did. He returned the second day to complete some additional work that we agreed needed to be done. irfan came with drop sheets which he laid from the front door to our bathroom. He did a great job refurbishing our tiles, regrouting (as additional work) and resealing. There was nothing left for us to do once irfan left.

The stone had shifted significantly, was not grouted nor cemented to the bed. Irfan was a gentlemen from the start of my engagement when he came to look at the steps. He patiently offered advice and patch tested his proposed solution successfully. His proposed costs were reasonable (having compared another 3 quotes) and I engaged him to rectify the issues. I was happy with his initial work and I re-engaged him to grind down additional stairs + seal so the entire surface would be even with no lip. The stairs now look as wonderful as the day they were first laid (this time done correctly by Irfan). I am very happy to provide this 5 star rating for him. Thank you Irfan. You were wonderful to work with and I wish you the best in your business. You deserve it.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Francis Zhao2023-11-14I asked Irfan to restore my acid etched travertine pavers as well as clean-up and seal. He arrived earlier than I expected, after a quick onsite inspection and sampling, he provided a precise quote that fell in the low end of the agreed estimation range. Irfan was very communicative throughout the entire day, basically informed me of each steps he was about to do. The outcome was of satisfactory as I didn't see any dull area on the etched tiles anymore, the pavers now look natural once again. Will definitely reach him out for the following ongoing maintenance.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Elspeth Arnot2023-11-09We recently engaged the services of Istone Care and found Irfan and his team to be exceptiinal in all areas - he was professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and was always very courteous and communicative.
