Restoring & Reviving Travertine Surfaces
Travertine That Has Lost Its Natural Finish
Travertine can gradually lose its natural finish as foot traffic, dirt, cleaning products and everyday use take their toll on the surface. Areas that are used more often can become noticeably more worn, while the natural pits and texture of the stone can collect dirt and leave the travertine looking tired and uneven. Our professional cleaning, honing and polishing process works through the worn surface to restore a smoother finish, bringing back the natural character and appearance of the travertine.
Open Pits & Holes in Travertine
The natural holes and pits in travertine are part of the stone's character, but over time they can collect dirt and become more noticeable. Some travertine floors also develop larger open areas where the original fill has worn away or fallen out, leaving the surface looking uneven and difficult to keep clean. Where required, we can clean and prepare the travertine before filling the open pits and holes, creating a more even surface before continuing with the honing, polishing and sealing stages.
Scratches & Scuffs on Polished Travertine
Polished travertine can show scratches and scuff marks quite clearly, particularly in busy areas where the floor receives everyday foot traffic. These marks can take away from the smooth, polished appearance and leave some areas looking more worn than others. Our restoration process works through the affected surface before honing and polishing the travertine to reduce visible scratching and scuffing and restore a smoother, more even finish.
Our Travertine Restoration Process
We use a professional step-by-step process to restore your travertine:
Inspection & Preparation
The travertine is assessed to identify the condition of the floor, Then is thoroughly cleaned and prepared before the restoration stages begin.
Honing & Restoration
The travertine is progressively honed to remove surface wear and scratches, while open pits and holes are filled where required before the final polishing stages.
Polishing
The travertine is polished through progressively finer stages to refine the surface, enhance the natural detail of the stone and bring back its natural shine.
Final Finish & Sealing
Once polished, the travertine is thoroughly cleaned and sealed to protect the restored surface from staining and moisture, while making the stone easier to clean and maintain.

Why Does Travertine Lose Its Natural Finish?
Travertine is a very porous stone, so it can soak up dirt, moisture and spills much more easily than many other floor surfaces. Over time, foot traffic, cleaning and general use can leave the stone looking tired, while dirt can build up in the natural texture and pits. Eventually the travertine can lose its fresh, natural look and start to look worn and dirty, even when it's being cleaned regularly.
Travertine Cleaning & Preparation
Before restoration begins, the travertine is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, grease, cleaning residue and ingrained grime from the surface and natural texture of the stone. This leaves the travertine clean and ready for the restoration stages.
Restoring the Natural Beauty of Travertine
Once the travertine has been properly cleaned and prepared, the restoration process brings the surface back to life. The stone can be refined to remove years of surface wear, while the natural colour, texture and character of the travertine become much more noticeable again. The finished result is a cleaner, smoother and more rejuvenated surface.
Why Is It Important to Seal Travertine?
Travertine is naturally porous, which means it can absorb moisture, dirt and spills if it is left unsealed. Sealing helps protect the stone by reducing how easily these things can penetrate the surface, making the travertine easier to clean and helping it stay looking fresher for longer. It is an important final part of the restoration and helps protect the work we've carried out.
How Much Does Travertine Restoration Cost?
The cost of travertine restoration depends on the size of the area, the condition of the stone and the level of restoration required. Floors with heavy wear, ingrained dirt or open pits may require additional restoration work.
