Our Process
Surface Preparation
We begin by thoroughly cleaning your travertine surfaces using advanced, eco-friendly techniques. This removes dirt, grime, and any old sealants or coatings, ensuring a clean base for the restoration process.
Repair and Restoration
Once the surface is prepped, our skilled technicians repair imperfections such as scratches, chips, and cracks using specialised techniques and materials. This restores the integrity and beauty of your travertine surfaces.
Grinding and Honing
Next, we use abrasives to grind and hone the surface, smoothing out any etching, scratches, or unevenness. This process results in a smooth, matte finish that enhances the stone’s natural appeal.
Polishing
After honing, we polish the travertine using diamond abrasives and premium compounds. This brings out a radiant, glossy finish, highlighting the stone’s unique texture and veining.
Sealing
To protect your travertine from future stains and moisture, we apply high-quality sealants. This barrier ensures long-lasting protection while maintaining the stone’s natural look.
Enhancement
In certain cases, we recommend colour enhancement or stone impregnation techniques to enrich the natural colour and veining of your travertine. This adds a striking visual impact to your surfaces.
Final Inspection
Finally, we conduct a meticulous inspection to ensure your travertine surfaces meet our high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Your surfaces will be restored to perfection, ready to impress for years to come.

Common Travertine Issues We Address
- Dirt and Soil Attraction: Incorrect seals or polishes can cause travertine to attract dirt. We remove these seals and apply natural stone polishing to prevent excessive dirt build-up.

- Yellowing and Discolouration: Travertine can yellow due to seal degradation. We remove improper seals and treat the tiles to restore their natural beauty.
- Cracked / Chipped Tiles: We carefully replace damaged tiles with flexible adhesives and grout to prevent future issues.
