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.
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.
