Getting Rid of Scratches From Crema Marble Tiles

A short clip of a beautiful pale Crema Marble tiled floor in Bovington, Dorset; it had suffered from scratching and the general wear and tear over the short two years since it had been immaculately laid and also sealed. The client wanted the floor scratches extinguished and make it look like it had just been installed again.

Marble Tile Cleaning and Polishing

A sealer is not recommended on this type of floor as it's so soft and will need regular maintenance to keep it looking tip top, the sealer can't stop wear and tear and it would just mean more work to abolish the sealer whilst polishing. The polishing process itself seals the floor to a good degree anyway.

Polishing the floor again involved the use of a set of diamond encrusted burnishing Pads fitted to a rotary buffing machine, the pads come in a set and are very effective at restoring the shine back on Marble, Limestone and Travertine etc. You start with the red pad which is more abrasive and removes sealers with a little water before moving onto the White, Yellow and Green polishing pads to get a high shine glossy finish.

After the treatment the scratches were gone and the floor was uniform in appearance, it took the entire day to polish and a set of pads to acquire the right luster; Travertine and Limestone with a polished finish can also be treated the same way.
