Why Do You Need Professional Stone Restoration?

 

When we decorate our homes and offices with preciously beautiful natural stones such as marble, granite, or even travertine, we tend to obsess over its maintenance, repair and restoration. This is because nobody wants to take risks concerning the protection and maintenance of natural stone, which is popular for its shine and vitality and the classy flavour it adds to our abode.

Being such enthusiastic users of natural stone, we are supposed to be very particular regarding stone maintenance and stone cleaning procedure and aware of various other facts related to such stones. There is a popular notion that the shine on the marble counter tops and floor tiles is achieved through application of certain chemical or polish, which is not true. The shine on marble is not externally incorporated; it is an inherent quality of the marble itself. However if the marble loses its vigour, its shine can be brought back chemically. For this you can trust The Marble Man who employs efficient techniques for marble floor restoration.

How to Get Rid of Dull Spots?

Often dull spots appear on stone bench tops and floors. This is because the polished surface gets etched away with continuous use or accidental spills of acidic materials. If etching is not attended to in time, the marble bench top may be ruined forever. If the etching seems to be mild, you can remove the spots with a marble polishing powder available in the market. But, if the etching is deep, it’s time for you to seek professional help.

Why Is It Necessary to Identify Stain on Stone Surface?

Identification of stain is important for various reasons. Firstly, if we proceed to clean or remove any particular stain without identifying it, we might use chemicals that will possibly bear no result and even hamper the stone surface badly. Moreover, before applying any chemical remover, we should ensure that we are actually dealing with a stain. A polished marble may become dull or discoloured when it comes in contact with any acidic substance. This discoloration is not a stain but etch marks. Chemicals used for removing stains will not work on etches.

Why Need Professional Natural Stone Restoration?

Natural stone, when newly installed, have a glossy finish that adds to the elegance of the room decor. However, with regular use, this finish tends to lose its lustre and put on a dim and dull look. This creates problem because, the reason why we use natural stone in the first place does not then seem to hold any meaning at all.

Natural stone restoration professionals have the knowledge, experience and tools to repair the worn out stones and restore its original glory. They remove scratches and deep etch by mechanical abrasion or diamond grinding. Stone restoration professionals can remove the deep rooted stains and polish the surface, thus giving a bright new look altogether.

Chips on marble and other natural stone surfaces

One of the biggest issues that most of our clients have are chips repairs. We fill these in with a colour matched epoxy resin and set the chips with a UV light. We will even try to get some of the little granules into the bench top so it looks as natural as we can possibly get it. This repair is smooth and seamless.

You may be able to notice where this repair is (as it’s your bench top and you know it better than that back of your hand), but anyone else coming into the property won’t notice this.

  

Crack's repairs

One of the most common question asked when it comes to crack repairs is, ‘Will we still be able to see the crack?.  A crack repair is more of a strengthening process for your bench top.  We will clean out the crack and fill with a colour matched epoxy resin to try and help this from travelling further.  

The crack will have approximately 50% improvement but will always be visible.

If you have any crack’s on your bench top that needs repairing, give the team in the Marble Man office a call or send your photos through to info@themarbleman.com.au.

Chipped Stone Floors

Our latest chips repair kits use a special UV epoxy glue. This type of glue is similar to what dentists use for tooth fillings and allows us to produce the best results possible with the hardest materials. 

In most cases, vague traces of the chip will be visible in the stone floors if you know where it is, however it will be colour matched, levelled and polished and mostly unnoticeable. We are the market leaders by far with regards to these types of repairs.

Benefits:

    Benchtop becomes stronger than it was originally.

    Stops dirt entering the chip.

    Epoxy is filled to a similar colour to the stone.

    Stone will not grab shirts and be rough to touch.

Scratch Repairs in Floors

To repair scratched, dull stone floors, we use resin boned diamond pads and special wet polishing machines. The scratch repair method involves grinding the surface of the stone to the depth of the scratch and then move up through the grades of abrasives up to a 1500 grit polish and then use a diamond polishing compound to bring back the original new reflection.

Benefits:

    Saves replacing tiles.

    Simple method of repair

    Less invasive than removing tiles.

Repairing Cracks in Floor

The Marble Man team uses a special coloured epoxy resin to repair cracks on stone floors. This is applied to the crack prior to polishing the area. After drying (5 minutes), the epoxy is ground back to the level of the stone surface and then polished back to a glossy surface. In most cases, the crack will always still be noticeable however it will be smooth to feel.

Benefits:

    Stops the cracks from accumulating dirt.

    Returns the surface back to a smooth tile. 

    Epoxy is filled to a similar colour to the stone.
