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.
Really happy, both with the quality of the worktop finish (ring marks, be gone!) and with the Athena Stonecare experience overall. Am sure we'll be using them again.
Our whole experience with Athena Stonecare was outstanding from quote to aftercare. We had our marble worktops and travertine floor restored. The settlement cracks on the floor have completely vanished. It has been a pleasure dealing with a firm who cares about it's customers, everyone involved was super polite and helpful. I would highly recommend.
Dave and his team did such a brilliant job restoring our limestone bathroom floors which someone used bleach on by accident. We thought they were ruined but Athena made them look like new again! I would highly recommend them and we will definitely use them for future cleaning and maintenance. Thank you Athena!
I would highly recommend Athena Stonecare, they have done an amazing job on our twenty year old limestone floors, they look better than they did new! Dave and his team were very professional, tidy, trustworthy and efficient.
Excellent, efficient and courteous service . My marble floor looks new and my bathroom walls look amazing. I’m really pleased with the work and the outcome. It only took one day to complete with minimum disruption. Would definitely recommend and will use again and again.
Dave and his partner fully deserve the five star rating. They did a perfect job, on time and on budget. The pool surround which, after 30 years of lime build-up, looked like mud, now, after Dave has worked his magic, looks beautiful again ,showing all the lovely colouring and striations. It’s a joy to see each morning.
