Common Concerns with Stone these days
Wear
Over time the polish on your floors or bench-tops will wear off especially in high traffic areas. The higher the traffic the likelihood your floor will need polishing sooner rather than later. Regular maintenance is advised if you would like your floors kept looking immaculate. Marbles are notoriously softer than other natural stones and therefore wear more easily.

Efflorescence
Efflorescence is not a usual occurrence. It appears as white flaky powder sticking on the surface of your stone. Ultimately this is the result of flooding or large pools of water being left to penetrate the stone surface and when dried a reaction known as crystallisation will occur. Contact us to if you notice this happening on your stone.
Etching
Etching is a common occurrence in soft stone surfaces. It usually occurs when acidic liquids are spilled and left to absorb through the porous layers. What appears like dull spots can be very difficult to remove and will require our polishing procedure to completely remove them. Click Here for more info.
Chips & Cracks
Chips and cracks can be repaired with either our advanced UV light repair unit or an epoxy resin depending upon the size and depth of the damage. Damage to your stone is hard to avoid especially if the stone is poorly laid making the stone prone to such damages. We offer an exclusive repair service, efficient and cost-worthy.

Stains
When you notice staining on your stone, the likely cause is primarily having no sealer or a sealer that has worn off over the years. Foods, drinks and oils are likely contributors. Stains may be removed with a our poultice paste or at least improve the appearance. Click Here for more info.
Water/Cup Ring Marks
Just like etch marks, a prime example of water/cup rings is when you leave a glass or cup on your bench-top with moisture at the bottom. It doesn’t take long before the water seeps through the surface leaving a dull ring or mark. Of course this is prominent when there is no sealer present in the stone and they are extremely noticeable amongst shiny polished surfaces. Polishing is only procedure to remove water/cup ring marks.
