When renovating his kitchen, our client wasn’t sure whether to replace or restore his travertine floor. Recommended by his kitchen supplier, it was truly a pleasure to breath life back into this stunning stone.
After deep cleaning the grout lines and floor tiles the natural pits in the travertine were filled with polyester resin that was colour matched to the stone. One of the services that is included in all travertine resurfacing treatments that we offer is the filling of the pits by hand. Before installation, the naturally occurring pits in travertine are filled but over time the filler can become loose. This leaves the pits exposed and vulnerable to collect dirt. By filling these pits with colour matched resin or grout during the restoration process, the client will be left with a more even finish to the floor.
Using diamond abrasives the travertine was resurfaced to remove the surface scratches and chemical etch marks. The floor tiles were then resurfaced to a satin appearance and sealed with an impregnating sealant
The client was so pleased that he asked the team to restore several additional areas of the stone in rooms hardly used. One of the advantages of using natural stone is that it never goes out of fashion. No matter how often you redecorate, your stone floors will always be on trend. Clients often move into a property with no idea of the hidden beauty of their stone. If you are unsure if your natural stone can be restored then get in touch for a free visit and survey.
Excellent in every way. The quality of the outcome was beyond expectation and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
I consistently use and recommend Athena Stonecare to clients and other interior designers. They are organised, easy to work with, and provide great results. Thank you, to the team at Athena!
Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend.
The team were professional, polite and very good at what they do. I can not recommend them highly enough for a very good job. Certainly I will be using this company if needed in the future.
The effort and professionalism was exceptional as was the contestant updates and communication before and after the work. WOW! It looks amazing, seeing we not have professionally done for 12 years looks as good as it did then! They are polite and respectful and take great pride in their work! Highly recommend!
Easy process to quote and book. Our limestone floor had been down for 7 years and grout was "looking tired." We had a team of three working on site for a morning. Very polite and tidy and left the floor looking like new.
