Restoration, done the right way.
Restoration is the full job — for floors that are past a simple polish. It combines heavy grinding or sanding, crack and joint repair, chip and board replacement, matrix filling or densifying, honing, polishing and sealing. The goal is to take a badly worn, damaged or neglected floor back to as-new, or better.
Granite's hardness means it holds a polish for years, but also that restoring it needs finer, harder diamond abrasives than marble and more passes to lift the shine. Its porosity varies hugely by variety — some black granites are nearly sealed by nature, some light ones drink oil — so sealer choice matters.
The process
How granite restoration works.
Step 01
Survey & plan
A detailed condition survey — damage type and depth, moisture, structural cracks, previous repairs — and a written scope and quote.
Step 02
Repairs
Cracks stitched and filled, lost chips and damaged boards replaced, hollow tiles re-bedded, thresholds and edges rebuilt.
Step 03
Heavy grind / sand
Aggressive abrasives remove deep damage, old coatings, coatings and unevenness across the whole floor.
Step 04
Fill & densify
Pin-holes and open matrix are grouted with colour-matched slurry; cement-based floors are chemically densified so they stop dusting and hold polish.
Step 05
Hone, polish, seal
The floor is refined through the full grit sequence to the chosen finish and protected with the appropriate sealer or coating.
Why it's worth doing
The result you get.
- ✓Saves a floor that would otherwise be ripped out and replaced
- ✓Fixes the underlying damage, not just the surface
- ✓One contractor for repair, refinishing and sealing — no coordination
- ✓A 40-year-old floor can end up looking better than new
- ✓A fraction of the cost and disruption of a replacement
When you need it
Is this the right service?
Restoration is for floors with deep scratching and etching, cracked or lippage-ridden tiles, failed old coatings, missing chips or damaged boards, dusting matrix, or years of neglect — anything a single-day polish cannot fix.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered.
Can a really badly damaged floor still be restored?
Usually yes. Unless the substrate has failed structurally or a wood wear layer is completely gone, grinding/sanding plus repair can bring almost any stone, terrazzo or timber floor back.
My granite floor has traffic-lane dullness where the factory polish has worn — can restoration fix that?
Yes — that is exactly what restoration addresses on granite floor. We confirm the cause on the free site visit and quote the fix in writing. Restoration is for floors with deep scratching and etching, cracked or lippage-ridden tiles, failed old coatings, missing chips or damaged boards, dusting matrix, or years of neglect — anything a single-day polish cannot fix.
How do I keep my granite floor looking good afterwards?
The essentials: clean with pH-neutral stone cleaner and a microfibre mop; blot oil and grease promptly, especially on lighter granites. We leave you a written care plan for the specific finish.
