How it works

Marble floor restoration and polishing

Marble and natural stone are among the most beautiful floors you can have, but daily wear leaves them dull, scratched and stained. Most can be brought back to their original finish. Every stone is different, so we test first, then clean, repair, hone and polish with the right method for your floor. We have cleaned, polished, repaired and restored thousands of marble and stone floors across Dublin and Ireland, from the 1700s to the present day.

  • Deep clean and stain removal, up to a poultice where needed
  • Cracks, chips and holes filled and colour matched
  • Honed and polished with diamonds, from a soft matt to a high shine
  • Sealed to protect against spills and stains

Stone floors we clean, polish and restore

Marble, limestone, travertine, granite, terrazzo, slate, crema marfil, Victorian, encaustic and quarry tiles. Each needs a different approach, and we have restored them all.

Terrazzo and polished concrete floor restoration

Old terrazzo and polished concrete floors can often be saved. We clean, repair and re-polish worn, scratched and stained floors, bringing them back to their original finish. See how we restored a neglected terrazzo floor, or if you are planning a new floor, see our terrazzo flooring and polished concrete floors.

Our restoration process

Cleaning and stain removal

We start with a gentle clean and only step up to a poultice where a stain needs it.

Honing and polishing

Diamond honing takes out scratches and etch marks, then polishing brings back the finish, from a soft satin to a high shine.

Grinding and lippage removal

Uneven tiles are ground flat so the floor feels smooth underfoot.

Etch mark removal

Dull marks from wine, juice, vinegar and the wrong cleaners are honed out and the shine brought back.

Repairs and replacement

Cracks, chips and holes are filled and colour matched, loose stones re laid and damaged stones replaced with a matching piece.

Sealing

Sealed to protect the stone against spills and stains and make everyday cleaning easier.

Common questions

Everything people usually ask us about marble and stone floor restoration. If your question is not here, just get in touch.

Every floor is priced individually, whether it is marble, natural stone or Victorian tiles. The cost depends on the size of the floor, the type of stone or tile, its condition and whether it needs repairs, honing or a full polish. Send us a few photos of the floor and we will give you a quote.

Most homes are done in one day. Larger and commercial floors take longer, and we can work in sections or out of hours to keep disruption to a minimum.

Yes. Most marble floors, even very dull, scratched or stained ones, can be brought back to their original finish by cleaning, honing, polishing and sealing.

A deep clean, filling any open holes with colour matched filler, then honing, polishing and sealing will bring a tired travertine floor back to looking like new.

Yes. We lift years of grime and old coatings, replace broken tiles with matching ones and seal the floor, bringing original Victorian and encaustic hallways back to life.

It depends on the stain. Light everyday marks usually lift with a gentle cleaner made for natural stone, like our own Stone Soap. Deeper oil, rust and wine stains need a poultice to draw them out, and dull etch marks from acidic spills can only be removed by honing and polishing. If you are not sure what you are dealing with, send us a photo and we will tell you.

After a few hours, once the seal has dried.

We recommend resealing every three to five years. Sealers break down with general wear, sunlight and harsh cleaning products, so busy floors may need it sooner.

Yes. We fill and colour match cracks and chips so the repair blends into the stone. If a crack is caused by ongoing movement in the subfloor it can reappear, and we will tell you if we think that is likely.

Clean it with a cleaner made for natural stone, such as our own Stone Soap, and wipe up spills like wine and juice straight away. Avoid bleach, vinegar and general household cleaners, as they can dull and damage the surface.

Whether it is a marble hallway, a Victorian tiled floor or a historic stone floor, we would love to hear about it. We are always happy to offer advice, visit your site or talk through your ideas, and you are welcome to visit our showroom in Harold’s Cross by appointment only. We are based in Dublin and work all over Ireland.
