Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration Canongate

Limestone eventually looses the original appearance. The dullness is due to small scratches on the surface of the tile where it is often walked over. Limestone Polishing is your only way to restore the original polish. We use diamond polishing to grind, hone and polish the Limestone tiles and recover the initial appearance.

Nearly all Limestone surfaces are uneven as the Limestone tiles are not put down flat. A Limestone tile floor can be leveled by grinding away the lippage and irregular tile edges. Grinding Limestone floors should only be done by restoration professionals. The Limestone floor will get the look of becoming a single piece of stone.

After grinding, the Limestone and grout will be at exactly the same level. After grinding honing and polishing maintenance is a breeze, because the mop slides over the floor. There are no uneven grout lines to trap soil. Limestone restoration commonly includes some chip and crack repairs, using Limestone resin fillers. We can recommend the appropriate restoration process.
