Our Unique Stone Polishing Leaves a Marble Floor in Fulshear Looking Better than Ever

June 24, 2022

A marble floor is an asset to a household's aesthetic appearance. It provides a classic feel that stands out even among other natural stone surfaces. This doesn't change the fact that many factors can put marble floors at risk, especially when unsealed. A homeowner in Fulshear was well informed about these factors, so she'd always given special attention to her bathroom floor. As such, it wasn't hard to notice the difference when the marble started looking duller and lifeless.


The red marble floor made the bathroom one of the most beautiful parts of her house in the homeowner's eyes. She didn't dare try homemade solutions and tricks without having an informed opinion on the problem. Moreover, she'd already been planning to hire stone polishing services in the Fulshear area, even before noticing the early signs of etching on the tiles. All she needed was to find the right company for the job, and that turned out to be easier than expected when she found Sir Grout Houston at the top of her Google search results.

The homeowner browsed many sections of our website, including our service listing and our picture gallery. Once she checked all of our company's relevant information, she gave us a call to request an in-home evaluation. A few days later, our specialists went to her house and inspected her bathroom floor.

The first thing they noticed was that there was no shine on the red tiles. After keeping count of the marks on the tiles, our specialists asked the client about the products and tools she used for her cleaning routine. From the information she gave them, our specialists concluded that the acidic ingredients in some of her products had worn off the sealant sooner than expected. They went over the issue with the client, explaining that the harsh ingredients in these products can cause discoloration and cracks after continued exposure. Still, the solution was simple after our specialists got to the root of the problem. There was no structural damage on the tiles, so they could restore all of the marble's shine with a thorough cleaning, honing, and polishing service. Eager to get her floor back to what it had been, the client scheduled a new appointment with our techs.

Our specialists were back at the client's doorstep a few days later, and this time, they were armed with all the necessary equipment to restore the marble floor. They started cleaning the tiles with a pH-neutral product that's effective while remaining 100% stone-safe. Our cleaner eliminates dirt, water, soil, soap scum, and other familiar sources of staining without subjecting the tiles to harsh chemicals. Our techs removed all the loose dirt with a high-speed scrubbing machine and moved on to the next step of the restoration.

For this, they honed the whole floor using three sets of diamond pads. They ran the pads while gradually increasing the level of grit until the stone was smooth and the etch marks had disappeared. Our techs then used special powders to polish the tiles making the marble go from looking dull to having a unique shiny finish. By the end of the polishing process, the floor had a beautiful, healthy shine that brought out the tile's details.

The last step of the process was to seal the floors. Our sealant ensured that no liquids could seep into the tiles while helping inhibit the growth of mold and mildew, making cleaning more efficient for the homeowner. After giving the floor a final buffing, they called her back into the bathroom and showed her the result.

The floor looked gorgeous. Each part of the marble was glowing, and the floor seemed to reflect the light coming from the window. The client was amazed by how much the newly restored floor enriched her bathroom. She was very thankful to our specialists and promised to recommend Sir Grout Houston to all her friends and family.

Before leaving the client's home, our specialists shared a few useful tips to help with the maintenance of her marble floor. Their first recommendation was to use pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Most traditional cleaners have acidic imbalances that will progressively damage the stone, allowing dirt and other external elements to seep into their pores. Without affecting the stone's sealant, our product removes soil, spills, grime, mold, and mildew quickly and efficiently. In addition, our techs recommended using non-abrasive tools like mops and towels to wipe the stickiness off the floor without scratching the tiles. Bathroom surfaces are constantly exposed to moisture and having proper air ventilation is important to keep mold at bay. On another note, the marble's porous surface is always more susceptible to absorbing liquids and our techs underlined the importance of having the floors sealed once a year.
