Slate Tile Restoration

Slate Floor Restoration Craigieburn

At Melbourne Tile Tech, we recently completed a slate floor restoration project in Craigieburn, transforming a heavily soiled slate tiled floor that had lost its natural appeal over time. Years of embedded dirt, grime, and surface dullness had diminished the stone’s character. Our experienced team carried out a complete strip and seal process, including an intensive deep scrub clean to safely remove built-up residues and revive the original texture of the slate.

Once the surface was thoroughly cleaned, we applied a premium slate sealer designed to enhance and protect natural stone. This stone sealing treatment brought out the rich, natural tones of the slate while providing long-lasting protection against stains, spills, and everyday wear.

The final result was a beautifully restored slate floor with a polished, refined finish that completely rejuvenated the space. This tile restoration not only improved the appearance of the home but also restored warmth, character, and long-term durability to the flooring.

Geelong Pool Area

At a recent project in Geelong, we completed a full natural stone tile restoration, including honing and deep cleaning to restore the surface and remove efflorescence buildup. To prevent reoccurrence, we applied a specialized treatment and finished the area with a protective penetrating sealer using our professional stone honing and sealing process.

The adjoining slate area was thoroughly cleaned and sealed with a high-quality solvent-based satin sealer, restoring its natural appearance and improving durability. The completed tile restoration delivered a refreshed, long-lasting finish suitable for everyday use.

Bentleigh Backyard Project

In Bentleigh, we completed a professional sandstone tile restoration, replacing damaged tiles and carrying out a thorough deep clean to remove dirt and mould buildup. Once the surface was clean and fully dry, we applied a natural-look penetrating sealer to protect the stone while preserving its original appearance through expert stone honing and sealing techniques.

The result was a refreshed, seamless, and well-protected sandstone surface, restored as part of our proven tile restoration process and built for long-term durability.

Hawthorn Indoor Project – Stone Surface Restoration

In a recent indoor project in Hawthorn, we professionally cleaned the stone surface, restored the expansion joints, and applied an enhanced penetrating sealer for long-term protection. This process, completed as part of our expert stone honing and sealing service, protects the stone from stains, moisture, and daily wear while subtly enriching its natural color and texture without creating a glossy finish.

What Is an Enhanced Sealer?

An enhanced sealer is a premium-grade, penetrating stone sealer that offers both protection and aesthetic improvement. It soaks into the pores of the stone to form an invisible barrier against water, oils, and contaminants, while enhancing the stone’s natural tone and character.

Benefits of Enhanced Sealing:

• Deep, rich finish that brings out natural stone patterns

• Long-lasting protection against stains, spills, and grime

• UV resistance, helping preserve indoor areas exposed to sunlight

• Breathable formula, allowing moisture to escape while blocking external contaminants

This treatment in Hawthorn not only preserved the stone’s structural integrity but also delivered a refreshed, premium finish ideal for indoor areas where appearance and durability are equally important, achieved through our professional stone honing and sealing process.

Poolside Restoration – Grouting & Surface Renewal

In this recent poolside project, we completed a full grout restoration on terracotta-style coping tiles to restore strength, close gaps, and improve water resistance. The joints were carefully re-grouted, smoothed, and cleaned before the surface was fully prepared for sealing. This process not only improves the appearance of the tiled area but also enhances long-term durability and safety in wet zones.

Project Koo Vee Rup

At this project in Koo Wee Rup, we completed a full tile restoration after removing an old vinyl layer that had been installed directly over the original tiles. Over time, the vinyl trapped moisture, dirt, and adhesive residue, leaving the tiled surface underneath heavily stained and stripped of its original character. Our team carefully lifted and removed the vinyl to protect the tiles beneath before moving into a detailed surface preparation phase.

Once exposed, we carried out a thorough glue and adhesive removal process using specialised stripping equipment and professional-grade solutions. This was followed by deep cleaning and a complete restoration treatment to remove embedded dirt, grout discolouration, and surface dullness. As the original colour, texture, and finish of the tiles returned, the transformation became clear through our proven tile restoration process.

The final result was a beautifully restored tiled floor with improved durability, longevity, and visual appeal. By removing the vinyl and restoring the original surface, the property regained its aesthetic charm while extending the functional lifespan of the flooring.

Project – Kyabram, VIC

We recently completed a slate floor restoration project in Kyabram, VIC, where roof slate tiles had been used as indoor flooring. The restoration involved a full solvent stripping process to remove old coatings, grime, and embedded residues that had built up over time. Once the surface was thoroughly cleaned and properly prepared, we applied a premium solvent-based sealer to enhance the slate’s natural color and provide long-lasting protection through our professional strip and seal process.

The final result was a vibrant, clean, and well-protected slate floor with renewed character and durability. This transformation was completed as part of our proven tile restoration service, leaving the client extremely satisfied with a finish designed to last for years.
