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.
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.
We used Athena to refurbish a 20 year old limestone floor and granite worktops. The floor was very scratched and damaged in a few places, and the granite needed some TLC. David and Terry spent a full day working on both and we're delighted with the results. Its saved us a very expensive and messy job in having the floor replaced. They worked professionally and tidily and gave us some really helpful advice about other stonework we are considering. We would definitely recommend!
"Outstanding results, it’s like having a brand new floor. Dave & his team managed to clean & lighten the 40+ years old sandstones from dark grey to beige. They were so effective, discreet & organised on their 2 days work and very patient with my numerous questions."
