When Your Stone Floor Needs More Than Cleaning
Some stone floors have damage that goes beyond what cleaning or light polishing can address. Deep scratches, acid etching, severe wear patterns and accumulated damage require a more comprehensive approach. Refinishing removes the damaged surface layer to reveal fresh, undamaged stone beneath.
This process involves mechanically grinding away the worn surface using progressively finer diamond abrasives. We work through multiple stages, each removing more damage and creating a smoother surface, until we achieve the desired finish level. The result is a floor that looks and feels brand new, with all surface damage eliminated.
At StoneCura, we’ve spent over 10 years refinishing marble, limestone and travertine floors throughout Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and beyond. We understand which stones respond well to refinishing and how to achieve results that match or exceed the floor’s original condition.Discover what specialist stone floor sealing can achieve for your property.

Understanding Professional Stone Floor Refinishing
Stone floor refinishing is a comprehensive process that removes the damaged surface layer of natural stone to reveal fresh material beneath. Using professional diamond grinding equipment in progressively finer grades, we systematically remove scratches, etching, staining and wear until we reach undamaged stone.
The process begins with coarse abrasives that remove the most significant damage. We then work through medium and fine grades, each stage refining the surface further and removing the scratches left by the previous grade. This continues until the surface is smooth and ready for final polishing or honing to achieve your desired finish.
Refinishing differs from simple polishing or cleaning in both depth and outcome. Whilst polishing works on essentially sound surfaces to restore shine, refinishing addresses fundamental surface damage. This makes it the appropriate solution for floors with deep scratches, severe etching or extensive wear that other treatments cannot correct.
Signs Your Stone Floor Needs Professional Refinishing
Here are a few of the most common reasons when stone floors need professional refinishing:
Deep scratches and surface damage: When scratches penetrate beyond superficial surface levels, simple polishing cannot remove them. Refinishing mechanically removes enough material to eliminate deep scratches, restoring a smooth, undamaged surface across the entire floor.
Acid etching and dull spots: Acidic substances like lemon juice, wine or harsh cleaners can etch marble and limestone, creating dull spots that won’t polish out. Refinishing removes the etched layer entirely, eliminating these permanently dull areas.
Severe wear patterns: Heavy traffic creates concentrated wear in specific areas, making the floor appear uneven or patchy. Refinishing addresses the entire surface uniformly, restoring consistent appearance throughout and eliminating visible traffic patterns.
Failed previous treatments: Sometimes earlier polishing attempts or DIY work create problems like uneven finish, swirl marks or patchy appearance. Refinishing removes these imperfections and starts fresh, delivering the uniform results that should have been achieved originally.

How StoneCura Refinishes Stone Floors & Surfaces
Our professional stone floor refinishing process is very thorough. We use our expert experience, professional equipment and stone-safe products at every stage. Here’s how we transform your stone floor from dull and dirty to clean and revitalised.
Assessment and preparation: We examine the damage extent, identify stone type and determine the appropriate refinishing approach. The floor must be thoroughly clean before work begins, so we complete any necessary cleaning first.
Coarse grinding: Using heavy-grit diamond abrasives, we remove the damaged surface layer and any severe problems like deep scratches or etching. This stage addresses the fundamental damage and creates a level surface to work from.
Progressive refinement: We work through medium and fine diamond abrasives, each stage refining the surface further. This systematic progression removes the scratches left by previous stages whilst gradually creating the smooth surface needed for final finishing.
Final finishing: Depending on your preference, we complete the process with either polishing for high-gloss shine or honing for a matte finish. We can also apply sealing to protect the refinished surface and ensure long-lasting results.

We provide professional refinishing for marble, limestone and travertine floors. These stones respond well to refinishing and can be transformed even when heavily damaged. We tailor our approach to achieve optimal results for your specific stone type.
