After the opening night of their new Hertford Showroom, Grisaille Studio asked our team to attend to restore their marble. As advocates of using natural stone in their project, the marble worktops are the centrepiece of the showroom and so it was important to have them back to perfection. During the opening party, prosecco had spilled onto the surface and had left etch marks throughout. An etch mark is caused when an acidic substance comes into contact with marble and reacts with the calcium carbonate in the stone. It causes a dull or white patch. This damage is only surface level but cannot be removed simply by wiping away so requires professional restoration.
Using specialist hand-held machinery, the surface of the stone was gently abrased to remove the etch marks before it was refinished. It is at this point that the client is able to choose the level of polish. In this case a high shine was chosen, and the stone was protected with an impregnator.
Our travertine floor came up like new. Very knowledgeable and efficient staff, a professional service for sure. They were very good with our dog too, always a bonus as she's quite fretful. Thanks Athena Stonecare.
This is a First Class company with First Class staff. they polished the marble in our bathroom and it now looks like new. Their technician Jack was so courteous and professional and his work is tip top. What an excellent find.
Athena Stonecare has been fantastic! We had two circular marks on our marble fireplace caused by a leaking vase and Athena Stonecare has been able to remove these marks and return the fireplace to it's former glory. We are delighted and do fortunate to have found this company
Great company and team. Easy to deal with and discuss requirements. The quality of work and attention to detail is exceptional. I strongly recommend this company.
The professional who inspected the floor was clearly most knowledgeable and he also actioned the work subsequently. A date was agreed and the work was carried out with care and attention and minimum disruption. The floor now looks exactly as it did when initially installed. I have no hesitation recommending Athena Stone and will call them myself when another part of the floor needs refreshing.
Dealing with Athena has been seamless throughout. I have been impressed by Athena’s professionalism and customer focus from the beginning and this applies to everyone involved from reception, to administration to the actual treatment of the floor.
