Stone floors can be found in many homes or commercial spaces, offering both function and durability. However, even well-maintained stone floors can lose their original lustre.
Whether it’s due to daily foot traffic, stains, or the natural ageing process, your stone floor may begin to look worn, tired, and possibly damaged.
At Sussex Floor Restoration, we’re experts in restoring stone floors to their former glory.
Our specialised stone floor restoration and cleaning services are designed to bring out the best in your floor, regardless of the type of stone flooring it is, ensuring it remains a stunning feature in your space for years to come.
The Importance of Professional Stone Floor Restoration
When it comes to maintaining the beauty and integrity of stone flooring, professional restoration and cleaning are essential. Stone floors are highly durable, but they are not immune to accidents or wear and tear.
Over time, dirt and grime can become ingrained in the stone, leading to discolouration and dullness. Additionally, porous stones like marble and limestone are particularly susceptible to stains and damage if not properly cared for.
At Sussex Floor Restoration, we understand the unique characteristics of different types of stone flooring.
Our team of experts is skilled in restoring and cleaning a wide range of stone flooring options, including natural stone floor tiles, marble limestone, and Victorian tiles. Depending on the type of stone, we tailor our restoration process to ensure the best results, preserving the look and unique texture of your floor.
It can seem appealing to switch from stone used in bathroom and kitchen flooring to wood flooring or other solutions, but stone floor popularity is on the rise.
According to a report by Markets and Markets (detailed here), the stone floor market is expected to grow by 6.3% between 2024 and 2029 – proving that stone flooring is definitely still in fashion and could possibly improve a property’s value.
Our Comprehensive Stone Floor Restoration Process
Restoring a stone floor involves much more than just a deep clean. It’s a meticulous process that requires expertise, precision, and the right tools.
Here’s an example of how we go about restoring one particular stone floor to its original splendour:
1. Initial Assessment and Planning
The first step in our restoration process is a thorough assessment of your stone floor. We inspect the condition of the floor, identifying areas of wear, stains, and damage.
This evaluation allows us to determine the most effective restoration methods and develop a customised plan tailored to your specific needs.
2. Deep Cleans and Grout Joint Restoration
One of the most crucial aspects of stone floor restoration is deep cleaning. Over time, dirt and grime can become embedded in the surface of the stone and the grout joints, making it difficult to remove with regular cleaning products.
Our team uses advanced cleaning techniques and professional-grade products to lift and remove deep-seated dirt, restoring the natural shine and colour of your stone floor.
Grout joints, which often become discoloured or cracked over time, are also restored during this process. We clean, repair, and seal the grout to ensure a uniform appearance and to protect against future staining and damage.
3. Repairing and Replacing Damaged Tiles
In some cases, individual tiles may be cracked or damaged beyond repair. When this occurs, we carefully remove and replace the damaged tiles with new ones that match the existing flooring in terms of material, colour, and finish.
Whether your floor features limestone marble, sedimentary rock, or another type of stone, we ensure that the replacement tiles blend seamlessly with the rest of the floor, maintaining its overall aesthetic appeal.
According to a post by Marblellife, repairing and restoring tiles over replacing your whole floor can be typically a third of the price.
4. Polishing and Finishing
The final step in our stone floor restoration process is polishing and finishing. Depending on the type of stone flooring, we apply a specialised polishing technique that enhances the stone’s natural beauty and leaves it with a smooth, polished finish.
For stones like marble and limestone, this process is particularly important, as it not only restores the floor’s shine but also provides a protective layer against future wear and tear.

FAQs: Why Sussex Floor Restoration Is the Right Choice for Stone Floor Restoration
How often should I have my stone floor restored?

However, the extent of restoration possible may vary depending on the condition and type of stone.
