Travertine stair steps repair. Sometimes floor tiles become loose for various reasons, either house foundation o soil movement or just a bad installation. Loose tiles could break if stepped on them and they are hollow underneath. Thin set mortar breaks with movement and detach therefore making the tiles become loose.

Natural Stone repair.
Another inconvenience is that the edges of a tile could be sharp and become a hazard. The edge can cut or cause harm.
If the tile is uneven it cause a person to trip therefore the need to replace or fix and/or re-secure loose tile.


Replacing tiles requires a careful process. If the broken/loose tiles are not pulled out properly it can cause damage to the tiles. If you don't have the proper replacement tiles this could be a problem.
Natural stone floor tiles and slabs are usually sold in batches cut out from a same slab to keep tiles within the same color, hue and pattern.

We have seen tiles having to be replaced by tiles that don't match the existing installation.

 Radiant Stone Care - The Authority on Natural Stone in So. CA. We work on Marble, Granite, Travertine, Limestone/Sandstone, Concrete, Pavers, Brick. We do Restoration, Clean, Polish and Seal, Clean and Seal, Concrete Polishing and Stain and Repair.

Saltillo stripping, clean and seal. One way of adding shine to saltillo paver is to add a topical sealer, in this case wax. Unfortunately wax dries up, creates areas where grime and dirt build up and it picks up all kinds of debris.
If the wax sealer is not replaced regularly the look of if can be quite unpleasant and honestly even a health hazard.
We have seen many homes where the was sealer gets so dry that it cracks and peels off. In other instances the wax close to a refrigerator or a home appliance that emits heat melts and picks up dirt, trash, pets hair, we have even seen coins inserted in the wax.

That wax has to be stripped to get rid of it and it is an arduous process. Our advice is that if you decide to use a wax sealer you re-do it every so often to avoid the situations described above.

In this case we stripped the floor and then just added an enhancer sealer with brings character and protects the stone by impregnating it.

Travertine restoration. This type of travertine has a texture that lets dirt get into it. While not exactly tumbled travertine it looked more flamed travertine. As you can see in this picture the area we cleaned was just a sample.

Despite not hadn't been cleaned in a long period of time we were able to bring it back its natural look and vibrancy.
First we cleaned it with ph neutral cleaner and buffed it to remove the dirt and grime. After the first cleaning we rinsed it and applied a second buffing round this time with clean water.

On top of machine cleaning we hand cleaned the grout to make sure it got the best cleaning it could get. Our grout cleaning process gets the grout 70-90% cleaned. While it is very effective is almost impossible to make grout look as brand new. The only best process would be replacing or retouching the grout.
After that we proceeded to seal by applying 2-3 coatings of sealer, then buffed out the excess sealer.

Broken corner on a bathroom marble counter top repair. After the severity of the breakage, putting the corner of this counter top back together was not an easy task. In a case like this many little pieces shatter and become dust like that might be difficult to obtain a natural look.

One of the challenges in repairing natural stone is to make the repair look as a natural vein or characteristic of the stone. Mixing and matching colors is one of the biggest challenges.

Flamed Granite Clean and Seal

Radiant Stone Care - Flamed Granite Cleaning and Seal Job - Beverly Hills

These flamed granite floors hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. The job area has very high foot traffic therefore making it almost impossible to properly cleaning it. The rough surface of the flamed granite makes it easy for dirt and grime to build up inside the ridges and hard to be properly cleaned.

Our expertise has prepared us to handle situations where special detail is needed. First we protected the surrounding areas with plastic drape up to 3 feet high. We then proceeded to clean the floor with a ph neutral cleaner and ran the first round of buffing, it took a few rounds to get the stone to the desired state of cleaning.

After rinsing the floor and buffing it again we let it dry for a few hours. The detailing on corners and grout was done by hand but that's what the job required since our main goal is to always do excel the expectations of our customers. Once the floors were dry we applied 2-3 coats of penetrating topical sealer and let the stone absorb and then buff out the exceeding sealer.
Here's a photo of before and after.

Marble Counter Top Cleaning and Sealing

Radiant Stone Care - On our daily jobs we come across many natural stone  counter tops such as granite, marble, travertine and other natural stone types badly damaged.
The reason is lack of maintenance on them. Keeping a natural stone in a healthy state is crucial to its life and appearance.
Many problems begin when the sealer starts to wear off. Daily use can and lack of maintenance make surfaces look dull, rough and lifeless.
A deep cleaning is recommended periodically for your counter top, that is cleaning with a PH neutral cleaner that won’t damage your natural stone surface. One cleaning in detail helps to get rid of build up, grease and other agents that stick to it and damage it.
A sealer has to be applied periodically also to maintain and prolong the luster of your natural stone surface.

After the deep cleaning you can clean it and maintain it with a PH neutral cleaner appropriately designed for daily use.

Granite Countertop Repair by Radiant Stone Car

Granite Countertop Crack Repair - Radiant Stone Care, The authority on Natural Stone Care, Brick, Paver and Concrete in Southern Ca.

A common mistake most people make is not paying attention to the caulking in their kitchen sink. Caulking tends to dry up becoming brittle and break away.

Most of the cracks we repair are on the front of the sink. This happens because when the caulking falls off it's hard to notice that it is missing. Since the missing caulking is not visible because its out of the reach when standing in front of the sink the damage occurs and unfortunately, it is not until the granite cracks that damage is noticed
The damage occurs through years of water leaking through the area where the caulking is missing.

This type of damage is caused mainly by bad or missing caulking. Water sips through the area where caulking is missing or in bad condition and gets to the wood and the metal rod that is usually under the edges of the granite piece. This metal rod is used to strengthen the granite.
When the water impregnates the wood it causes it to swell and eventually rusts the metal rod. When this happens both the wood and rusted metal rod push up against the granite and crack it then break it.
