This Bathroom Marble Floor in Wellesley Gets a New Look Thanks to Our Stone Honing Services

April 25, 2022

Due to its excellent durability, and elegance, marble is widely regarded as a good choice for flooring. Because it is a natural stone, it is more resistant to cracking and breaking than other types of surfaces. Today's trend is for designers to favor marble tiles or slabs for any flooring option. Since marble is softer than granite, it is easier to mold and create an appealing design.


A couple from Wellesley, MA, was in love with their bathroom marble floor. It was a lovely surface at first, but as time went on, the stone began to lose its appeal. The surface looked unpleasant. The owners were dissatisfied with the state of the floor. After discussing and weighing their alternatives, they decided that hiring a professional hard surface restoration company was the best option.

Fortunately, a friend of theirs recommended Sir Grout of Greater Boston to them. He was a past customer who enthusiastically suggested our Wellesley Stone Honing services, claiming that we had provided an excellent job at his home. The couple visited our website shortly after their friend's suggestion to learn more about us. They were certain we were the perfect choice after looking through our before and after picture gallery, and reading testimonials from our past customers. They requested a free evaluation by filling out the "Request a Quote" form.

We completed the in-home consultation later that week. We saw the issues on the floor as soon as we got there. The stone had lost its original luster, and the grout lines were considerably filthy. We stressed the damage that using the wrong cleaning procedures and using aggressive solutions can cause. We discovered that the stone was not sealed when we examined it more closely. It's critical to keep the stone completely sealed to avoid deterioration and future harm.

We got enough information after a successful inspection to provide an appropriate solution for all of the issues. We informed the couple that normal cleaning would be futile and that the restoration would demand Sir Grout's high-end equipment and expert process. We offered a stone honing multi-step procedure to repair the damage, restore the grout, and give the marble a new finish. The owners were so pleased with our evaluation that they hired us without hesitation.

As soon as we returned with everything we needed, the restoration began. We used our stone-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubber to clean the surface before beginning the stone honing process. Because it doesn't leave a residue and doesn't include harsh ingredients, our proprietary product won't harm the marble. We removed the stains off the floor after cleaning the surface and proceeded with restoring the grout. We were then ready to hone the stone once the grout had been restored.

We would eliminate all of the damage with the honing procedure. We used three sets of diamond machines, each with a different grit level. We kept grinding until no signs of deterioration could be seen. The stone takes on a matte sheen after honing.

We finished the job by applying a protective sealant. Our top-of-the-line product provides unrivaled defense and long-term effects. It prevents liquid absorption and protects against dirt, filth, and other external irritants. By minimizing the need for unnecessary cleaning, our sealant makes cleaning regimens simple and quick. It complements the marble and gives the floor a fresh look. The restoration was a success, with all of the flaws repaired and the marble floor looking fantastic. We called our clients and showed them the results of our work.

The owners were thrilled with the fresh look of their bathroom marble floor. They were very content because the job had gone very smoothly. Before we departed, the couple complimented us on our work, and after thanking us, they promised to tell their friends, and family about Sir Grout of Greater Boston.

Marble may last a long period if properly cared for. The easiest method to avoid damage and degeneration is to follow our advice. We recommended establishing a regular cleaning schedule. Use only pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Because it is made with high-quality ingredients, our product produces exceptional results. It is non-toxic and safe for all members of the household, including pets.

Soap-based cleaners and products with acidic qualities are not recommended. These products can damage marble, resulting in dull patches, etching, and other types of damage. Use a clean mop to apply the cleaning solution, and allow the floor to dry completely before entering the room again. Keep people and pets away from the wet surface while cleaning. It's also crucial to stay away from abrasive tools, which can produce scratches. Place a doormat near the exterior doors to prevent dirt from accumulating. To remove stuck dirt, give the mat a good shake on a regular basis.

Sir Grout of Greater Boston consistently delivers outstanding results. With our superior stone honing multi-step procedure, our certified specialists can completely restore any stone. We have years of experience as a top hard surface restoration company, having provided amazing results to numerous satisfied customers.
