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.

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.
