Types of Stone Tile Damages
Stone tiles face several common issues that require expert repair. Cracks often develop from heavy impacts or settling foundations. These can range from hairline fractures to complete breaks across tiles. Chips and scratches typically occur from dropped objects or dragging furniture across floors. We can fill and polish these imperfections to make them virtually invisible.
Spalling (when the surface flakes away) happens due to moisture penetration or improper sealing. This requires careful restoration to prevent further deterioration. Water damage is particularly troublesome as it can lead to:
Many homeowners also struggle with mold issues in damp areas like bathrooms. We use specialized treatments to safely remove mold without harming the stone surface.
Comprehensive Repair Solutions
We utilize professional-grade materials and time-tested techniques to restore your stone floors to their original beauty.
Crack and Chip Repairs

For deep cracks, We may recommend complete tile replacement for deep cracks. Our skilled technicians can perform with minimal disruption to your space. We always assess the structural integrity of the underlying surface to ensure our repairs last for years.
Tile and Grout Restoration
Discolored or crumbling grout detracts from even the most beautiful stone tiles. Our comprehensive grout repair services address both aesthetic and structural concerns. We offer:
We use pH-neutral cleaners that won't damage natural stone's surface. Our stone tile re-grouting process includes removing old grout carefully to prevent tile damage before applying fresh, properly mixed grout that enhances your floor's appearance.
Leveling and Lippage Issues
Uneven tiles not only look unsightly but can also create tripping hazards and accelerate wear. Our stone tile leveling solutions address these concerns effectively. Our lippage removal process includes:
We use specialized stone tile lippage removal systems that ensure even transitions between tiles. For more severe issues, we may recommend partial reinstallation with proper leveling techniques. You'll appreciate the difference a perfectly level floor makes in both appearance and safety.
Importance of Sealing Stone Surfaces
Stone tiles are naturally porous materials that can absorb liquids, which may lead to staining, etching, or microbial growth. We've seen many beautiful floors ruined by simple spills that could have been prevented with proper sealing.
Sealing creates an invisible barrier that gives you time to clean up spills before they penetrate the stone.
Different stone types require different approaches. Marble and limestone are particularly vulnerable to acidic substances like wine, coffee, and citrus juices. Granite, while more resistant, still benefits from proper sealing to maintain its appearance.
Regular resealing is necessary as sealants wear down over time. We recommend annual assessment of your stone surfaces to determine if resealing is needed.
Selection of Sealants and Coatings
We offer several types of sealants tailored to different stone varieties and usage conditions. Penetrating sealers (impregnators) soak into the stone without changing its appearance. These are ideal for most natural stone applications.
Topical sealers offer additional protection but may alter the stone's appearance slightly. These work well for highly porous stones or in areas with extreme exposure to potential staining agents.
Water-based sealants are environmentally friendly and have low odor, making them perfect for indoor applications. Solvent-based options provide deeper penetration and may last longer in challenging environments.
