Our Proven Travertine Polishing Process
When it comes to travertine, attention to detail makes all the difference. Here’s how our process ensures flawless results:
Preparation
Before we start polishing, we thoroughly clean the surface to eliminate dirt, grime, and debris. This initial step is vital for achieving a smooth, uniform finish. We use gentle detergents and prepare your travertine for the following stages.
Grinding
If your travertine shows deep scratches, stains, or uneven areas, we begin by grinding the surface with diamond abrasive pads. This step effectively smooths out imperfections, leaving the stone level and ready for honing.
Honing
We then refine the stone using progressively finer abrasives. Honing produces a sleek, matte finish and ensures the stone is smooth, perfectly prepping it for the final polish.
Polishing
Now the transformation occurs. We apply specialised polishing compounds to bring out a high-gloss shine in your travertine. Multiple passes with increasingly finer abrasives are made to achieve a mirror-like finish that accentuates the stone’s beauty.
Sealing
After polishing, we apply a penetrating sealer to protect your newly polished travertine. This sealer forms a barrier against moisture, spills, and stains, helping keep your stone pristine and easier to maintain.
Final Inspection
Once the process is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection of the surface to ensure every detail adheres to our high standards. Any necessary touch-ups are made immediately, guaranteeing a flawless, high-quality finish every time.

Client Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 25 reviews Harish Ekambareshwar2024-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I could not recommend Irfan highly enough. Irfan cleaned, epoxied and re-sealed our travertine tiles - they were looking worn and had started to deteriorate. Irfan carefully and methodically cleaned the tiles and re-sealed them so they look as good as new! Irfan is also very easy to deal with and genuinely cares about his work. Suzie2024-10-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Irfan and Erin from iStone Care just completed a sensational job at my house in Hunters Hill. They restored, sealed, filled chips and reconditioned my kitchen, butler's pantry (calacatta marble benches and splash backs) along with four marble (top to bottom) calacatta marble bathrooms. They completed an absolutely sensational result - the marble looks as if it has just been installed - every chip has been filled and every 'mark' has been removed. The entire project took just 2 days and it was an absolute pleasure to have this team in my house. They were so courteous, trustworthy and polite... shoes off at the door and left my house spotless. I did not need to remain at home with them whilst they completed the work. They are highly professional in their work ethic and exceptional in their work results. I thank them for the work they did and would recommend them to anyone considering this type of work in their home.

Amanda Doyle2024-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ifran of Istone is amazing. He is highly knowledgeable, polite and on time. He went way above and beyond to remove all the stains out of of white limestone pavers, he also fixed additional issues to save us further problems down the track. One of the best tradesperson we have ever dealt with. Highly recommend! Jason Cassar2024-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Irfan did an Amazing job with my Marble Like new again. Happy to recommend him👌 David T2024-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Irfan 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! Alastair Jensen-Mackinnon2024-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Irfan 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. We highly recommend iStone Care & Irfan. Kay Livingstone2024-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. irfan of iStone was a pleasure to deal with when we needed our bathroom travertine tiles resurfaced and terrazzo resealed after 14 years. 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. We highly recommend iStone & irfan.
