Diamond grinding and resurfacing of stone is our main area of specialism. Travertine restoration is a service that is provided for floors that are scratched, etched or that over time have become dull and worn. We use the world’s leading diamond grinding and polishing technology to restore the surface of your travertine.
The full restoration process involves up to 8 stages beginning with a grinding phase to even out poorly laid tiles and remove scratches or etch marks from your travertine floor. This initial phase is essential to ensure that the floor is flat, to allow the finer grit diamond abrasives to work most effectively. Following this, the natural pits in your travertine floor are filled by hand with epoxy resin that is colour matched to the stone. This creates a smooth and homogenous finish akin to when the floor was initially installed.

The desired finish is then achieved by a system of higher grit diamond segments and pads that can be used in stages for matte, satin or high shine. Our specific edging equipment and hand-held tools allow us to get a full treatment right up next to skirting boards, kitchen units and edges to leave a flawless finish.
Travertine restoration is a service that is suitable for floors that are in need of renovating after years of wear and tear but is also applicable to correct damage at any point from installation.
As a chemical free process, travertine restoration using this method is an eco-friendly way to enjoy natural stone for many years.

We follow up with all of our clients around 1 year to 18 months after our initial visit, based on our professional opinion of when further work is likely to be necessary. We can also provide a price for maintenance immediately on request. However, we would still recommend re-visiting before commencing work to re-familiarise ourselves with your stone

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.
Just wanted to say thank you . The floor looks amazing. Love love it! Thank you so much!
I wanted to leave a review for Danielle. She went above and beyond to help find alternative solutions so I could get my worktops/ tiles restored in the timeframe I need to, even following up afterwards to see how things panned out. Excellent communication!
The only company I trust to restore flooring in my role at Humphrey Munson. Athena Stonecare are an amazing company with a true understanding of excellent customer service and endlessly helpful.
