Our client initially made contact as she believed that something had been applied to the floor that had changed the colour of the stone. Whilst undertaking renovation work, she had discovered an area of stone that was still in the original condition and wanted to see if the rest of the stone could be revived and restored to match. During the visit to quote, we ascertained that the old sealant had discoloured over time and this was causing the ‘two-tone’ effect across the stone.
We recommended stripping back all of the existing sealant in order to even out the floor and suggested a more natural finish sealant. The client was keen to brighten up the room and so keeping the stone as light as possible was important.
The limestone was initially stripped and deep cleaned using alkaline cleaning products and an abrasive powder. This enabled a clean deep into the pores of the stone and gentle resurfacing too. Once dry, a natural finish impregnating sealant was applied followed by a matt finish surface wax for additional protection.
The work done by Dave and his team on our 30+ year old limestone flooring was outstanding. The stone was dirty and very cracked in places and I never dreamt they could make something so old look so good. The resin colour they used was an exact match and the cracks they filled are barely discernible now. The cleaned limestone looks wonderful and fresh. I can't believe what they achieved and couldn't be more thrilled.
Would you please thank Dave and his team - so much - for their outstanding work on our flooring? I can’t believe what they achieved and couldn’t be more thrilled. I never dreamt they could make something so old look so good!
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Outstanding customer service. Can't recommend highly enough.
Top quality service and good value for money. For once I am very happy to pay a bill!
Just wanted to say a huge thanks for the fantastic job that Lee and Terry did this week at our house. They were also wonderful ambassadors for your company: unfailingly polite and super helpful.
The floors look noticeably much improved so I’m thrilled with their work.
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.
