Why is Granite Restoration Important?

As mentioned previously, granite surfaces can become dull, incur general wear and tear, and can become stained, scratched, etched, and have other various issues.

The Granite Restoration Process

Granite restoration involves many different aspects which aim to revitalise your granite surfaces. Depending on the issues, our service technicians will choose the appropriate technique needed in order to restore your granite surfaces. Here are the primary restoration techniques that our service technicians are highly qualified to perform.

Cleaning

Granite cleaning is a key part of the granite restoration process. Cleaning must be done to remove any stains, dirt and grime, and other impurities on your granite surfaces. It is essential before sealing, and after surface restoration.

Sealing

It is crucial to seal your granite surfaces. Sealing can help to prevent oil and water-based staining and will generally improve the condition of your granite surfaces. This results in better durability and increased longevity. If you are planning to seal yourself, we recommend consulting with stone care professionals before applying a sealer as some sealers have different affect on granite than others.

Re-Honing

Re-Honing involves using very low grit diamond abrasives to grind back the stone. This is essential to remove any scratches, etch marks, stubborn stains, and general dullness, creating a nice, uniform honed finish.

Polishing

Polishing involves the use of finer diamond abrasive pads to perform the final touches of your granite surface. These finer diamond pads will transform your granite surfaces into a beautiful and polished finish. At Stone Doctor, we use a special copper-resin diamond pads for granite and engineered quartz. These one-of-a-kind pads are of the highest quality and produce alluring results. For further enhancement, our technicians use specialised granite polishing chemicals and compounds to achieve the best finish.
