Why Limestone Looks Dull (and Why DIY Often Makes It Worse)

Limestone is a beautiful calcite-based stone. It reacts to acids (wine, coffee, fruit juice, pet urine, limescale removers), creating etch marks and a chalky film. Everyday grit lightly scratches the surface, and old sealers trap soil, making grout lines look permanently dark.

Typical supermarket products and steam mops can damage the surface further. Our limestone cleaning process reverses all of that safely and predictably.

What We Fix — Every Day

  • Dull, worn traffic lanes that won’t shine

  • Etching from wine, vinegar, citrus, bathroom products or pet accidents

  • Grease, oil and organic stains in kitchens and dining areas

  • Pitted holes and open pores that collect dirt

  • Cracked, loose or hollow tiles and cracked/missing grout

  • Lippage (uneven tiles catching the light)

  • Previous sealer failures and sticky residue

If it’s happened to limestone, we’ve seen it — and we fix it.

Our Limestone Cleaning & Restoration Service

We combine time-honoured craftsmanship with specialist machinery and UK-made products to restore any limestone finish: honed, satin, or high-gloss polish.

1) Survey & Protection

We assess the stone, adhesives, sub-floor and previous treatments, then protect adjacent finishes, skirtings and kitchen units.

2) Deep Limestone Cleaning

Professional alkaline/solvent gels and hot-water extraction to release years of grease, grime and soil from the pores and grout — no harsh acids.

3) Repairs

  • Hole & chip filling with colour-matched limestone fillers

  • Crack stitching & bonding

  • Re-grouting or grout recolouring for a consistent, fresh look

  • De-lipping (mechanically flattening edges) where needed

4) Diamond Honing & Polishing

Progressive diamond abrasives refine the surface to remove scratches and etch marks. Choose your finish:

  • Honed/Matt (soft, modern look)

  • Satin sheen

  • High-gloss factory polish for maximum reflection

5) Impregnating Sealing

We apply premium, breathable, stain-repellent limestone sealer (oil & water protection) for easy maintenance. Options for natural matt or subtle colour-enhanced tone.

6) Aftercare & Maintenance Plan

You’ll receive a simple care routine, recommended pH-neutral cleaner and optional annual health check to keep your limestone impeccable year-round.

Result: a stronger, denser surface, crisp grout lines, and a uniform finish that stays clean.

“We thought the floor was ruined after a wine spill and years of dull patches. They brought the shine and depth of colour back — and fixed the grout at the same time. It looks brand new.”

FAQs — Limestone Cleaning

Will limestone cleaning remove etch marks?
Yes. Etches are repaired by diamond honing/polishing, then sealed to resist future damage.

Can you fix holes and cracks?
Absolutely. We fill, stitch and stabilise tiles, then blend the finish so repairs are virtually invisible.

How long does it take?
Most kitchens/hallways are completed in 1–3 days depending on size and repairs.

Is it safe around pets and children?
Yes. We use stone-safe, low-odour systems and leave the floor neutralised and fully rinsed.

What finish can I choose?
We’ll show samples on your stone. Options include honed/matt, satin, or high-gloss polish.
