Natural Stone Restoration

Cleaning & sealing

Professional cleaning and sealing are the foundation of maintaining any natural stone floor. Over time, dirt, grime, and contaminants become embedded within the surface, dulling the appearance and affecting the overall finish.

Our specialist natural stone restoration process removes deep-seated contamination using professional equipment and stone-safe solutions, reviving the natural look of the material without causing damage.

Once cleaned, we apply a high-quality or colour-enhancing sealer to protect the stone from staining, moisture ingress, and everyday wear. All sealers used are breathable, allowing the stone to function naturally while improving its durability and appearance.

This service is ideal for both interior floors and external stone such as patios and pathways.

Sealer removal & re-sealing

In many cases, stone floors have been incorrectly sealed using topical coatings or unsuitable products.

Over time, these coatings can break down, trap dirt and moisture, and leave the surface looking patchy and cloudy.

We specialise in the safe removal of existing sealers, coatings, and residues using professional-grade stripping systems. This natural stone restoration process brings floors back to a clean, breathable state.

Once fully stripped and neutralised, the surface is re-finished using the correct sealing system for the specific stone type and environment. This may include natural-look or colour-enhancing sealers, depending on the desired finish.

This is a critical process for restoring heavily contaminated or poorly maintained stone floors.

Diamond polishing and restoration

For worn, dull, or etched stone floors, diamond polishing is the most effective way to restore the surface to a high-quality finish.

Using specialist machinery and industrial diamond abrasives, we mechanically refine the surface of the stone through a series of stages, removing scratches, etching, and surface wear.

This process allows us to achieve a range of finishes, from a soft matte to a high polish, depending on the material and your preference.

Diamond polishing is commonly used on marble, limestone, and terrazzo floors and provides a long-lasting, natural finish that cannot be achieved through cleaning alone.

Gripping and lippage removal

Uneven stone floors, known as lippage, can occur during installation where tiles are not perfectly level with each other.

This not only affects the appearance but can also create trip hazards and make cleaning more difficult.

Our grinding process uses heavy-duty planetary machinery to level the surface, removing high spots and creating a smooth, uniform finish across the floor.

This is a more advanced natural stone restoration service and is typically carried out prior to honing and polishing to achieve the best possible result.

Grinding can completely transform older or poorly installed floors, bringing them up to a modern, high-end standard.

Crack and hole repairs

Natural stone can develop cracks, chips, and surface damage over time, particularly in high-traffic areas or older installations.

We carry out specialist repairs using colour-matched resins and fillers to restore the integrity and appearance of the stone. These repairs are carefully blended into the surrounding material to achieve a natural, seamless finish.

Where required, repairs are completed prior to polishing to ensure the final result is consistent across the entire floor. This service is particularly effective for limestone, marble, and terrazzo surfaces where damage would otherwise detract from the overall finish.

Grout removal and re-grouting

Worn or failing grout can affect the appearance of a stone floor, even when the tiles are in good condition. 

We provide a full grout removal and re-grouting service to restore clean, defined joints. Old grout is carefully removed using specialist tools to protect the surrounding stone, including softer materials such as limestone and sandstone.

Fresh grout is then applied using high-quality materials suited to the space and its use. This improves the overall finish, strengthens the floor, and helps reduce the risk of moisture ingress.

This service is often combined with deep cleaning or full natural stone restoration works to achieve a complete transformation, leaving the floor looking sharp, uniform, and professionally finished.

Customer Reviews

“Great friendly service and excellent communication throughout. Would use this service again and recommend to friends and family.”

Jayne Jackson

“I had 2 sofa frames and 2 rugs cleaned by Paul Dyson. I could not fault the service and the results. Very courteous, professional and friendly. I also had a couple of stains on another carpet that they offered to do a spot clean at no extra charge. I will definitely use Paul Dyson again, and cannot recommend them highly enough.”
