How We Can Help

Honing your floors is a fantastic way to virtually eliminate taxing maintenance requirements while still having the wonderful characteristic of beautiful stone surfaces in your home or business. Tile Cleaners® technicians can skilfully hone your marble, granite, sandstone, limestone and travertine.

Honing is achieved by mechanically resurfacing your stone using diamond abrasives and water to obtain a uniformly honed surface sheen, creating a look that is low key and not too overwhelming as some people find with highly polished, glossy floors. Honing your surfaces can resolve issues with stains, chips, water spots, glass rings, cracks, etching and dull spots. Tile Cleaners® Brahma Lodge technicians create a surface with a beautifully smooth, low sheen matte finish, leaving your surfaces looking elegant and in their most beautiful natural state.

Honed surfaces have a more satin-feel, smooth and velvety to the touch often more suited to casual, comfortable environments than more formal polished surfaces. Honed surfaces are also highly scratch resistant due to the lack of a glossy surface and when honed surfaces do become scratched, the damage is not obviously reflected. Honed surfaces are popular in areas of high foot traffic and regular use including floors for the bathroom, living rooms, foyers and kitchen counters.

Resurfacing is an extremely skilled task that requires patience and experience. If not done properly and to the right depth it may only enhance the scratches and impurities. Give us a call on 1300 771 201, our knowledgeable and friendly customer service can assist you with all your questions and bookings.

Regular Care

Natural stone is one of the most beautiful surfaces anyone can have in their home or office. However, many varieties can easily scratch in high foot traffic areas. A regular maintenance program using special care is vital if your surfaces are to retain their beauty.

Once liquids spill on the surface of a honed surface, wipe it immediately. To clean honed stone, you should never use regular soap as it can seep through the surface and darken the area, instead use mildly abrasive household detergent. Never use vinegar. The acid in vinegar damages, actually etches and removes the surface of many stone types. After mopping, dry the floor with a cotton towel or use a sh-mop to remove the moisture and prevent water spots.

Honed natural stone can become quickly etched or corroded by acidic materials upon contact by common household substances such as soft drink, tea, citrus juice and acidic cleaning products. A surface with a matte or honed finish needs to be as a rule, periodically cleaned and re-sealed by a professional and should be sealed with a deep penetrating, impregnating sealer, which avoids staining and reduces the effect of soiling, Australian made non-toxic Deepshield® Transparent Penetrating Sealer is highly recommended, non-slip and will last for up to 10 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

expand +

Q: What different types of tiles do Tile Cleaners hone?

Indoor and outdoor areas, polished, matte finish, porous, pre-sealed, wherever you have tiles we have a restoration solution. External tiles, natural stone paver's, all bathroom tiles and wall tiles. Tile Cleaners® cater for each and every different type of surface you might have.

expand +

Q: What is the difference between your honing service and polishing service?

Honing and polishing produce fairly opposite results. Polishing produces a glossy finish while honing produces a more matte finish. Honed surfaces can hide some imperfections such as scratches, and some everyday dirt, whereas polishing will reflect light and imperfections more than a honed surface.

expand +

Q: How long will it take to hone my surfaces?

This will depend on the size of the area; larger jobs can require up to 3 days while honing a bench-top can take up to half a day. Tile Cleaners® do try to ensure work is completed within the same day to avoid as much disruption to your home or business as possible.

expand +

Q: Will honing remove the sealer from my stone?

Yes, the mechanical resurfacing process used to hone your floors will remove all coatings, resulting in your floors being in an "as new" condition. Once honed, you should reseal your surfaces with a deep penetrating, impregnating sealer, which avoids staining and will reduce the effect of soiling.

expand +

Q: Do I need to apply a sealer to my honed stone?

Tile Cleaners® recommend our clients apply a long lasting water based sealer such as a quality product from Australia's Deepshield® range of sealer's to their tiles as soon as they have been resurfaced. Your stone will maintain its beautiful character for longer, while also reduce the amount of required regular cleaning.

expand +

Q: Is honing my stone a messy process?

Most of our procedures use water in order to minimise dust production. Honing will create a slurry, however by employing state-of-the-art equipment and our years of expertise, once finished your surfaces will be left in their best possible condition.

expand +

Q: Can honing damage natural stone?

Tile Cleaners® technicians use the highest quality machinery providing the best solutions without compromising your surfaces. Tile Cleaners® prides itself on specifically catering for each tile variety and each situation with the highest degree of care. Stone based tiles are usually more porous requiring more attention than man made tiles, which is why its extremely important to use correct products and equipment to restore your tiles to their best possible condition.

expand +

Q: Are your products toxic?

Here at Tile Cleaners® we understand the importance of your family's safety, which is why Tile Cleaners® prefer to use non-toxic finishing agents as we not only want to protect your floors, but your families health too. Materials and agents that present potential health hazards are not in our product portfolio and never have been.

expand +

Q: Can honing leave my floors shiny?

No, honing produces the opposite effect to having your floors polished. Honing will result in a smooth, matte, non reflective finish and will only appear shiny, or glossy where the honing process is followed by a polishing process.

expand +

Q: Can honing result in my surfaces becoming slippery?

Honing can provide a degree of slip resistance to your surfaces. Polished surfaces are often slippery when wet and honing is an excellent way to create an extra degree of safety. Please call one of our knowledgeable customer service for more advice regarding your surface.

expand +

Q: Can honing remove deep stains in the stone?

Honing will remove scratches and stains and give a more uniform appearance to your surface.

expand +

Q: Can honing remove lippage from tiling?

Lippage is the term given to uneven tiles that are set higher than one another, which usually requires a more aggressive process than honing in order to create a completely flat surface. Grinding is recommended for excessive lippage.

expand +

Q: How will you charge me for honing my surfaces?

Tile Cleaners® charge per square meter for each separate room. There is a price list on the Tile Cleaners® website for you to review. Before we begin our work we will measure each room individually, confirm the work to be carried out as well as confirm all costs with you.

expand +

Q: How do I measure the size of the area to be honed?

We recommend that you measure each room separately. The simplest way to measure is by multiplying the width by the length. For example a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide is 3 X 2 = 6m2 in total.

expand +

Q: Does Tile Cleaning offer assistance with moving furniture when sealing the floor?

Tile Cleaning provides assistance with moving furniture during the floor sealing process. Their team of dedicated technicians is available to help with the relocation of furniture items that can be reasonably managed by one person, such as those with wheels or lightweight furniture like tables and chairs. However, it is important to keep in mind that while Tile Cleaning takes precautions to protect your belongings, they cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the furniture moving process. To ensure the safety of valuable or fragile items, it is recommended to either relocate them to a secure area or properly secure them before the technicians arrive. By taking these necessary precautions, you can help ensure the safety of your furniture and minimize the risk of potential damage while the floor sealing process is being carried out.

expand +

Q: What should I do to prepare for the surface honing?

Move all furniture and items off the floor so it is ready for when we arrive.
