Slate Restoration
MicroGuard ADSIL Permanent Protection
Slate is common in entryways, mudrooms and showers, and terracotta and Saltillo cover many kitchens, sunrooms and porches. These soft, textured surfaces usually have old coatings that wear unevenly, chip and trap dirt, leaving the floor dull, patchy and dark.
Our Restoration Process
- Strip old coatings and wax from the surface and grout, down to raw stone or clay.
- Deep clean the stone and grout.
- Repair scratches, grout cracks and chips, and replace broken pieces or tiles when needed.
- Grout: color seal it for a uniform look, or leave it clean and stripped.
- Final finish: enhance the slate for richer color, apply a floor coating to slate, terracotta or Saltillo, or upgrade to MicroGuard ADSIL permanent protection.
Slate Showers
Slate showers get our full Shower Refresh, plus we remove efflorescence and calcium buildup from the shower floor, clean up flaking slate and enhance the stone to bring back its color.
Cost and Timing
Cleaning starts around $2 per square foot. Full restorations with stripping, repairs and refinishing can run up to $15 per square foot or more, depending on the floor’s condition. Most stripping jobs take 2 to 3 days. Call (708) 582-6904 for a free quote.
