FAQs
What kind of damage would you typically have to get your stone surface repaired for?
Stone does get damaged over time, due to chipping, scratching, staining, general wear and tear, impact, etc. Every problem requires an individual solution, as it depends on the type of stone and the damage involved.
How can scratched or chipped tiles be repaired without damage to the tiles surrounding them?
Fixing a gouged or scratched tile often requires delicately prying up the damaged tile, and sometimes one or two neighboring tiles. It requires precision not to damage the surrounding tiles, so professional help is recommended.
How can tiles be loose but not appear to be broken in any way?
Tiles may become loosened over time when the grout between them starts to disintegrate. The tiles are generally still in good condition, but the grout needs replacing to bond the tiles in place and stop them from moving.
When does the stone need to be refinished?
Refinishing is generally required when surface wear or scratches cause dullness and alter the coloration of the stone. The technique used would depend on the particular stone treated; it needs to be carried out with expertise for desired results.
How do I test to see if this is stained or discoloured due to sealer?
It is often hard to know if you are dealing with a stain or a discoloration, as each requires a different approach. You want it to be checked over by a professional so that the right restoration can be administered.
