Travertine Restoration, Cleaning & Polishing Perth

Travertine restoration involves repairing, grinding, honing, polishing, and sealing to revive the stone’s natural beauty. This process removes scratches, stains, and etching, fills holes, and applies a premium sealer to protect your travertine from future damage.

Travertine polishing is necessary to restore the stone’s natural shine and protect it against scratches, dullness, and stains from daily use. Professional polishing enhances the stone’s colour and clarity, makes maintenance easier, and extends the lifespan of your travertine floors, walls, or benchtops.

Standard sealers usually need reapplication every 2–3 years. At Infinity Flooring, we use Stain-Proof® premium penetrating sealers, which come with a 15-year written warranty. This means your travertine only needs sealing once during that period—or at the time of your next full restoration. Our sealers provide long-lasting protection against stains, spills, and moisture, while making cleaning and maintenance simple.

Travertine should be cleaned with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft mop or cloth to avoid damaging the surface. Avoid acidic or abrasive products such as vinegar, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can etch and dull the stone. Regular cleaning helps prevent dirt buildup and keeps travertine looking fresh. For stubborn stains or deep cleaning, professional travertine cleaning services are recommended to restore the stone safely without risk of damage.

Efflorescence appears as a white, powdery deposit on the surface of travertine. It is caused by moisture drawing natural salts within the stone to the surface, where they crystallise as the water evaporates. This is more common in outdoor areas, wet zones, or where moisture is present under the stone.

Sealing your travertine with a premium Stain-Proof® penetrating sealer helps prevent efflorescence by reducing moisture absorption. If efflorescence has already appeared, professional cleaning and moisture management treatments are recommended to restore the stone’s appearance and protect it from future issues.

Yes, travertine can be professionally repaired. Chips, cracks, and holes are restored using specialised resins and colour-matched fillers that blend seamlessly with the original stone. This process restores both the strength and appearance of the travertine, ensuring a durable and natural-looking finish.

Infinity Flooring’s technicians are experienced in repairing and restoring travertine in floors, walls, and benchtops, delivering results that are long-lasting and virtually invisible.

Even small travertine polishing projects usually take around two days, as the process involves cleaning, filling, honing, polishing, and sealing each surface for a flawless and long-lasting result. Larger or heavily worn areas may require additional time, but our use of Klindex machines ensures the work is efficient and completed to the highest standard.

No, you don’t need to move out. Most travertine restoration projects take about three days, during which the floors should remain unused or accessed only with socks for light walking.

Our process includes deep cleaning of tiles and grout, filling chips, cracks, or missing grout, honing and polishing, washing the floor, and applying sealer the following day. During sealing and drying, the area must remain completely closed off.

If grinding is required, allow additional time for completion. Once the sealer has fully cured, your travertine floors are ready for furniture and normal use—protected for years with our 15-year warranty sealer.

Travertine can be finished in different ways, each offering a unique look and practical benefit:

• Polished finish – Smooth and glossy, enhancing colour and giving a high-end reflective appearance.

• Honed finish – Satin or matte look that reduces glare while maintaining elegance, ideal for high-traffic areas.

• Tumbled finish – A rustic, aged effect with softened edges, often used outdoors or around pools. This finish also provides a naturally slip-resistant surface, making it practical for wet areas.

• Mirror finish – Achieved through grinding and polishing with resin bond diamonds, producing the highest clarity and a true reflective glass-like surface.

At Infinity Flooring, we tailor travertine finishes to suit your space—whether you need a slip-resistant poolside surface or a luxurious mirror-polished floor.

Yes, travertine can be honed to remove scratches, etching, and surface wear, leaving a smooth matte finish. Honing creates a uniform surface and is often used to prepare the stone for sealing, giving it a natural, elegant appearance that is less reflective than polishing.

At Infinity Flooring, we use Klindex honing machines with diamond abrasives to deliver a consistent, high-quality matte finish that’s ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas where a non-slip, understated look is preferred.
