Granite Floor Cleaning & Restoration

Granite is one of the most durable and hard-wearing natural stones, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial flooring. However, over time even granite floors can lose their shine, become scratched, or develop staining due to heavy use and improper cleaning.

Professional granite floor cleaning and restoration can restore the original appearance of the stone while protecting it from future wear.

At Masons Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Ltd, we provide specialist granite floor cleaning, polishing and restoration services across Durham and surrounding areas for both domestic and commercial properties.

Our process is tailored to the hardness and condition of granite to achieve the best possible finish.

Professional Granite Floor Services

Granite requires specialist equipment and techniques due to its dense and hard surface.

Our granite floor services include:

• Deep granite floor cleaning
• Granite polishing and finishing
• Diamond grinding for damaged surfaces
• Stain removal treatments
• Crack and chip repairs
• Granite sealing and protection

Each floor is assessed before work begins to determine the most suitable restoration process.

Granite Floor Polishing

Granite polishing is used to restore the natural shine and reflective finish of the stone.

Using diamond polishing pads and specialist compounds, the surface is refined through multiple stages. Each stage uses finer abrasives to achieve a smooth and highly polished finish.

Polishing enhances the natural colour and pattern of granite, restoring its deep, rich appearance.

Depending on the desired result, finishes can range from:

• High gloss polished finish
• Satin finish
• Natural low-sheen finish

Diamond Grinding & Granite Restoration

If a granite floor is heavily scratched, worn or uneven, a more intensive restoration process may be required.

Diamond grinding removes a very thin layer of the stone using specialist machinery fitted with diamond abrasives. This process is used to eliminate deep scratches, surface damage and uneven areas.

Once the surface has been restored, further honing and polishing stages are carried out to achieve the desired finish.

Because granite is harder than most other natural stones, this process requires the correct equipment and experience to avoid damage.

Granite Honing

Honing is used to smooth the granite surface and remove light scratches, etching and surface wear.

This process produces a more subtle finish than polishing, leaving the stone with a soft, even appearance rather than a high shine.

Honed granite is often preferred in areas where a more natural or slip-resistant finish is required.

Granite Crack & Chip Repairs

Granite floors can sometimes develop chips, cracks or damaged edges, particularly in high-traffic areas.

These can often be repaired using specialist fillers and colour-matched resins designed for natural stone.

Once repaired and refinished, the surface can be restored to a smooth and consistent appearance.

Granite Stain Removal

Although granite is dense, it is still porous and can absorb liquids over time.

Common stains include:

• Oil and grease
• Food and drink spills
• Cleaning product residues
• Water marks and mineral deposits

Specialist stain removal treatments can draw contaminants out of the stone without damaging the surface.

Granite Sealing & Protection

Sealing is an important part of granite floor maintenance.

Natural stone can absorb moisture and contaminants, which may lead to staining and long-term damage. Applying a professional sealer helps protect the stone and maintain its appearance.

There are two main types of sealers:

Surface Sealers
Create a protective layer on top of the stone and can enhance shine, but may require maintenance.

Impregnating Sealers
Penetrate into the stone to provide long-lasting protection against moisture and stains while maintaining the natural look.
