At Fabritec Tile Cleaning, we know how important it is to care for limestone properly.

With Fabritec Tile Cleaning, you can trust that your limestone is in good hands.

Residential Limestone Cleaning

We provide thorough cleaning services for limestone surfaces in your home. Whether it's your kitchen countertops, bathroom tiles, or floors, we have the tools and expertise to remove dirt, stains, and grime without damaging the stone.

Commercial Limestone Polishing

Limestone can add elegance to commercial spaces, but high foot traffic can quickly wear it down. Our commercial polishing services restore the shine and beauty of limestone floors, countertops, and more, helping your business make a great first impression.

Limestone Restoration Services

Over time, limestone can become scratched, etched, or dull. Our restoration services include deep cleaning, honing, and polishing to bring your stone back to life. We can also address deeper issues like lippage (uneven tiles) and severe stains.

Sealing and Stain Prevention

Sealing your limestone is essential to protect it from stains and moisture. We use high-quality sealers that penetrate the stone, creating a protective barrier without altering the appearance. Regular sealing can significantly extend the life of your limestone surfaces.

Maintenance Plans

Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your limestone looking great over time. We offer customized maintenance plans to suit your needs, ensuring your stone surfaces are cleaned, polished, and sealed regularly.

Our Proven Limestone Cleaning and Polishing Process

Assessment

The first step in our process is a thorough on-site assessment. We inspect your limestone surfaces to identify any issues, such as stains, scratches, or uneven tiles. This helps us determine the best course of action and ensures that we address all your concerns.

Deep Cleaning

Once we’ve assessed your limestone, we begin the deep cleaning process. Limestone is porous, absorbing dirt, oils, and stains over time. We use specialized cleaning solutions and professional-grade machinery to remove embedded dirt and restore the stone’s natural colour. Whether your limestone needs chemical cleaning, pressure washing, or steam cleaning, we have the right method.

Polishing

After the stone has been thoroughly cleaned, we move on to polishing. We use diamond polishing pads, honing tools, and buffing machines to smooth the surface and restore its natural shine gradually. Our polishing techniques, including diamond grinding and crystallization, remove surface imperfections and enhance the beauty of your limestone.

Sealing

Once your limestone has been cleaned and polished, we apply a high-quality sealer to protect it from future damage. Sealing is crucial for limestone because it helps prevent moisture, dirt, and stains from penetrating the stone. We use penetrating sealers that provide long-lasting protection without changing the appearance of your limestone.

Final Inspection

After the cleaning, polishing, and sealing are complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that everything meets our high standards. We check for any remaining imperfections and ensure your limestone surfaces are clean, polished, and protected. Our goal is to leave your stone looking as good as new.

Tools & Machinery

Fabritec Tile Cleaning uses state-of-the-art tools and machinery to deliver high-quality results. Professional-grade equipment allows us to clean, polish, and restore limestone surfaces effectively and efficiently. Here are some of the tools we use:

Diamond Grinders

Diamond grinders are essential for polishing limestone. These machines use diamond-embedded pads to gradually smooth and refine the surface of the stone, creating a beautiful, polished finish.

Polishing Pads

Polishing pads come in various grits and are used to achieve different levels of polish. From honing to high-gloss finishes, we use the appropriate pads for each step of the process.

Rotary Machines

Rotary machines are versatile tools for cleaning, polishing, and buffing limestone surfaces. They provide consistent, even results, making them ideal for large areas like floors.

Wet Vacuums

Wet vacuums are used to remove excess water and cleaning solutions from the stone's surface. This helps prevent water spots and ensures a clean, streak-free finish.

"No-Mess" Pressure Washers

Pressure washers are powerful tools that remove dirt, stains, and grime from limestone surfaces. Our pressure washers use hot water with built-in vacuum extraction to capture the water and vacuum it away, leaving the floor clean and dry. 

Using the right tools is essential for achieving professional results. At Fabritec Tile Cleaning, we invest in high-quality equipment to ensure that your limestone surfaces receive the best care.

Our Polishing Techniques

We have the specialised equipment and sealers to polish Limestone to  a variety fo finishes.

Honing

Honing is a polishing technique that smooths the surface of your limestone, reducing scratches and imperfections. This technique creates a matte finish, which is ideal for areas without a high-gloss shine.

Diamond Polishing

Diamond polishing uses diamond-embedded pads to gradually refine the stone's surface, creating a high-gloss finish. This technique is perfect for restoring the shine and elegance of limestone floors, countertops, and more.

Buffing

Buffing is a less intensive polishing technique that enhances the stone’s natural shine. This method is often used for regular maintenance to keep your limestone looking polished between deep cleaning sessions.

Crystallization

Crystallization is a chemical polishing process that creates a hard, glossy surface on limestone. This technique is often used on marble and limestone to achieve a long-lasting shine.

No matter your limestone needs, we have the right cleaning and polishing techniques to achieve beautiful results.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that you may have questions about limestone care. Here are some of the most common questions we receive:
