Travertine Floor Restoration Travertine and Limestone Cleaning in Delhi NCR
Travertine and limestone are softer and far more acid-sensitive than marble. One acid mopping session is enough to strip the finish and open the surface, which is why they need their own products and own process. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

What a proper job must include
| Stage | Non-negotiable |
|---|---|
| Before starting | Gloss reading, damage map, hidden test patch, written rate |
| Preparation | Skirting, fittings and furniture edges masked |
| During | Correct pad sequence for the stone, no skipped grits |
| Finishing | Edges and corners hand-done, not left dull |
| Handover | Walkthrough with you, after-care note, waste removed |
Use this list to compare any quote you receive, ours included. If a contractor skips the test patch or the handover walkthrough, the finish will show it within weeks.
The written rate is the final amount for the agreed scope. If we open the floor and find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you before continuing, not after.
Where a floor has mixed surfaces, each one gets its own pad sequence and compound. Treating Kota stone and imported marble with the same approach is how floors get patchy.

Travertine Floor Restoration 2 - common questions
Why is acid so damaging to travertine?
Travertine and limestone are calcium-based. Acid dissolves the surface binder, which leaves white etch marks and opens the texture, and the damage is permanent unless the surface is honed back.
Will cleaning remove dirt from the pits?
Yes, with the right brushes and neutral cleaner, but the pits will refill over time. Filling open pits at the same visit is the practical fix.
Can travertine be polished to a shine?
It can be honed or lightly polished, but a mirror finish on soft, pitted stone is neither natural nor durable. We usually recommend a honed finish with sealer.
How often should it be sealed?
Every twelve to twenty-four months for floors, and more often in wet areas. Sealer slows absorption rather than blocking it.
What should I check before paying?
That every surface you were quoted for has been finished, that edges and corners are not dull, that joints are clean and that the waste has been removed. Walk the floor with the crew still present, not after they leave.
Do you provide a written scope?
Yes. Surface by surface, with rate and scope, plus any optional items listed separately. Nothing is added after the work starts unless you approve a change.
Is a test patch really necessary?
It is the cheapest insurance on the job. One tile or a corner shows you the real result before you commit the whole floor.
