Service · Travertine Floor Cleaning

Travertine floor cleaning & restoration

Travertine’s natural holes and pits are part of its character — until they trap dirt and catch heels. We fill, hone, polish and seal travertine to a smooth, refined finish.

Overview

What this service involves

Travertine forms with natural voids that, left untreated, gather dirt, trap moisture and create trip hazards underfoot. Over time these can widen, and the surrounding surface often wears unevenly, leaving a patchy, uneven floor.

Our travertine restoration fills these voids with a colour-matched compound, hones the whole floor level, then polishes and seals to a smooth, low-maintenance finish that keeps its character without the drawbacks.

FAQs

Travertine Floor Cleaning questions

Should travertine’s natural holes be filled?

For most interior floors, yes — filling removes dirt traps and trip hazards while keeping the stone’s natural look.

Will the fill be visible?

We colour-match the filling compound to your specific travertine, so it blends in rather than standing out.

Can you restore travertine around a pool or outdoors?

Yes, with sealers and finishes suited to exterior exposure and, where needed, additional slip resistance.

How long does filling and honing take?

A typical room takes one to two days depending on the extent of pitting and the floor’s size.

How often does travertine need resealing?

Usually every 1–2 years depending on traffic and location — we’ll advise a schedule at your assessment.
