The MM Story of Stone Restoration

The Marble Man was started in 1992 by Shaun Roberts, current owner and Managing Director. Although Shaun’s background was in stone manufacture and installation, he recognised a need in the industry for stone restoration services. At that time diamond abrasive and sealing technology was developing at a rapid rate in the United States yet it was not being widely used in Australia. The Marble Man began using this new technology and found that it was extremely effective and produced amazing results.

It is the largest stone restoration company in the QLD and NSW region and continues to grow due to its reputation for providing quality stone care service.

Stone Restoration Can Transform Your Old Stone Surfaces into Brand New Ones


Do you own a commercial or residential building? Are you planning to renovate your home? -
If yes, then you need to search for specific natural stones for floors, walls, benchtops etc. Selecting the material is indeed a tedious job, because there are several types of tiles and stones available in the market. Choosing one which suits your budget and purpose is confusing and overwhelming too. It’s better to take useful tips from experts in the stone care industry.

How can stone restoration make your home impressive?
We all know that things become dull and worn out as years pass by. Floors and tiles also undergo wear and tear after some years. Floor tiles, table tops, bathroom tiles etc. may start cracking when they are used repeatedly. Stone restoration is the process of restoring or repairing the worn out tiles, marbles, and limestone to a brand new condition. The result of stone restoration will be awesome! After stone repair or restoration, your old surface will look like a brand new one.

Stone restoration services require proper equipment, training and qualified professionals. If you are going for polishing or stone repair work for your home, you should choose the right company which has the latest equipment and specialist stone restoration personnel too. 

Usually a natural stone restoration involves any of the following processes:
  • Tile repairs
  • Stone resurfacing
  • Polishing
  • Cleaning using chemicals or steam
  • Repairing the grouts and washing
  • Chip repairing
  • Sealing the tiles to prevent them from further damage

How is Stone restoration done?
Restoration of natural stone including marble involves the removal of scratches or damages to the surface by means of mechanical abrasion. It is popularly known as diamond grinding.

Restoration process may differ from surface to surface. Normally, natural stones reflect light and do not need much coating to achieve the desired finish. After restoration, polishing is done to give the surface the desired look.

Stone resurfacing ­­­­­
Stone floors may become damaged after years of repeated use. If you want to rejuvenate your floor tiles, stone resurfacing can give you the desired result. In this process, an epoxy stone coat is applied over the damaged concrete surface or the stone surface. One of the biggest advantages of natural stone resurfacing is that you can get a beautiful surface without removing the existing one.

How important is stone sealing in your home renovation?
Just like we use a band aid to protect our wounds from infection, sealing protects the stone surface from further damage. A sealer can prevent spills or dirt entering the porous surfaces which may lead to further discoloration.

Polishing
Stone surfaces like countertops and floors may start looking ugly after years of regular use. Polishing can give back their original, beautiful shine. A combination of abrasive powders and diamonds are used for polishing.

If you are on the lookout for natural stone restoration, you should always choose a reliable company that offers affordable, high tech stone repair services. You can call The Marble Man now on 1300 627 626 for a free stone restoration quote. They service: GOLD COAST | BRISBANE | SUNSHINE COAST | NORTHERN NSW | TOOWOOMBA | SYDNEY | & CANBERRA.

Professional Cleaning Methods for Marble & Other Natural Stone Surfaces


The Marble Man team caters to the marble and other natural stone cleaning and restoration requirements from expensive large mansions to high-rise luxury apartment buildings in GOLD COAST | BRISBANE | SUNSHINE COAST | NORTHERN NSW | TOOWOOMBA | SYDNEY | CANBERRA and around the nation. We also extend our stone care services to individual homes.

Here are some important tips for maintaining your outside stone paving:
  • Get your stone surfaces professionally cleaned and sealed once in a while.
  • Use only PH neutral cleaners designed for natural stone surfaces. Other cleaners available in the market can cause damage to your marble or other natural stone tiles. 
  • Blot, don’t wipe, accidental spills at the earliest. Acidic spills slowly enters into the stone through its porous surface and cause permanent stains.
  • Ensure thorough cleaning once in a year with approved stone mould remover.
  • At many instances, pot plants happened to be the main source of stains. Several minerals and chemicals drain out of the pots, so it’s better to keep collector trays underneath them. Also, keep the pot plants raised above the stone surfaces.
  • Do not place metal appliances and instruments on the stone surfaces because rust can stain the stone tiles or marble worktops.
  • Leaves accumulated on the stone pavements can eventually spoil the stone surfaces as they decay. Regularly remove the leaves.

We at The Marble Man use specific stone cleaning products to suit to the type and quality of your stone materials. Each stone surface may present a unique cleaning problem and has to be treated accordingly. 

For stone tile floors cleaning, we use 3 different cleaning methods to achieve the best result possible. These are chemical, abrasion, and heat methods of stone cleaning.  These three tile cleaning processes are often used in conjunction to give you amazing results.
