Does your travertine floor have dull areas associated with wear patterns, scratches, etches or spots? An uneven finish, dull spots or etches can diminish the elegant appearance of your travertine floors. WHAT A SHINE! can hone your travertine surfaces to eliminate these imperfections, resulting in a new travertine surface free of damage. With our travertine honing and polishing services, our expert technicians can achieve a honed or soft matte finish that is warm, inviting, and velvety smooth, or we can polish your travertine using the appropriate diamonds and polishing powders to achieve a semi-gloss or gloss finish.
Are your travertine tiles uneven? Do you want your tile floor flattened to the grout lines to facilitate easier cleaning? We can grind away the excess stone (a process called lippage removal) to create a flat, level surface using state-of-the art diamond grinding technology. Once ground level, the travertine can then be honed and polished to the finish you want.
Do you have chipped, cracked, or broken travertine tiles? Our expert travertine repair services include filling in chipped areas in travertine, fixing travertine cracks, blending the repair site with the surrounding area, and honing and polishing it to match the finish on the rest of your travertine floor, countertop or other stone surface. Although it is rare for a travertine tile to be beyond repair, sometimes tile replacement is necessary. WHAT A SHINE! craftsmen can, in many cases, remove your affected tile without damaging neighboring tiles, reinstall the new tile, level the installed tile with the surrounding area, and then match the finish as closely as possible.
At WHAT A SHINE!, we can instruct you on the proper day-to-day care of your travertine and other natural stone floors, countertops, and other surfaces.
