A mirror finish, restored the right way
Polishing natural stone is a craft, not a quick buff. Years of foot traffic, spilled drinks, cleaning residues and grit leave the surface dull, scratched and etched. Our process removes those damaged layers rather than masking them — working through progressively finer honing stages with modern equipment before bringing up the final polish with compounds matched to the specific stone.
Every floor is assessed by hand, because no two stones behave the same way. Softer, calcium-based stones such as marble, limestone and travertine are sensitive to acids and need careful honing to remove etching and reveal true colour. Harder silicate stones like granite call for different abrasives and finishing compounds to bring up a deep, clear reflection. Composite floors like terrazzo are treated as a stone-and-binder system so both the aggregate and matrix polish evenly.
The result is a smooth, even surface that shows off the natural veining, depth and character of the stone — whether that's a bright mirror gloss in a hallway, a soft satin finish on a bathroom floor, or a low-sheen honed look on a kitchen or patio.

Optional sealing after polishing
Sealing is optional, not included by default. Once the stone is sufficiently dry, a suitable breathable Faber penetrating sealer can reduce absorption and give you more time to wipe up spills. It does not make stone stain-proof, stop acid etching or prevent wear. We assess moisture and existing treatments before recommending it.
Remove grit regularly and use a suitable pH-neutral Faber cleaner at the label dose. Maintenance needs depend on traffic and the stone; a sealer protects against absorption, not loss of shine. Ask when booking if you would like sealing quoted separately.
