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.
