Marble (scratches removed)

Marble Bathrooms

by Mark on December 15, 2009

    Awhile ago quoted a job,  ensuite walls and floors, bathroom floor and toilet floor. This was a reversal from the normal work. The difference being that the floors were highly polished and the architect wanted honed (Flat unpolished) surface for the floors.

     Firstly hand sanded the floors with a 120 grit wet and dry sanding disc. This removed the scratches and flattened the marble floor tiles. Then 320 grit sanded the marble floors. Looking good but not finished, we then scrubbed the floors with a good quality marble cleaner. We used S4S marble cleaning product. This is a top quality stone cleaner that cleans and neutralises  the marble. After wet vac drying the  waste from marble it  is ready to seal once a drying period has elapsed (about 1 to 1.5 hrs)

  Applied two coats of a good quality sealant. looked great and the client was very happy. Left them with a maintenance schedule and some S4S marble cleaner.

Marble (scratches removed)

by Mark on November 18, 2009

Once again on a run.This time removing scratches from marble floors. It appears to me that a screw must of got stuck under the door when closing it. Didn’t take too long to remove. First sand out the scratch with a 320 wet and dry sanding disc. Stay within the borders of the grout joint. Net 600 grit wet and dry then 800 grit. Lastly 1200 grit sanding when wet.

We then use marble polish to bring the tile back to a high shine. Lastly neutralise with S4S marble cleaning product. Seal the marble tile then buff any excess residue.
