The work

Marble & Stone Restoration

Diamond Tile Restoration refinishes marble, travertine, limestone, onyx and other natural stone across San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, Reno and Tahoe. Hasan Alsaheb has been doing this work for more than twenty years. Restoration is not cleaning — a dull, scratched or etched floor is not dirty, it is damaged, and no cleaner will fix it.

Why polished stone goes dull

A polished surface is not a coating. It is the stone itself, ground and refined so finely that it reflects light. Anything that abrades or corrodes that surface takes the shine with it:

Traffic patterns. Grit carried in on shoes is essentially sandpaper. Entry paths, hallways and the turn at the bottom of a staircase wear first, which is why floors often look fine at the edges and grey down the middle.
Etching. Marble, travertine and limestone are calcium based. Anything acidic — lemon, wine, vinegar, tomato, many household cleaners — reacts with the surface and leaves a dull mark. It is a chemical burn, not a stain.
Staining. Oil, rust and dyes absorbed into the stone. Different problem, different fix — drawn out with a poultice rather than ground away.
Failed sealer and old coatings. Wax and acrylic “shine” products build up, trap soil and yellow. They have to come off before the stone can be refinished properly.
Open holes and worn grout. Travertine in particular sheds its fill over time, leaving pits that collect dirt.

How restoration actually works

The stone is refinished with progressively finer diamond abrasives. Coarse steps cut past the damage and flatten the surface; each finer step removes the scratch pattern left by the one before, until the stone reflects light again. Grinding can also take lippage — uneven tile edges — down to a flat plane, which no amount of cleaning will do.

Assess the stone type, the finish it should have, and whether the damage is on the surface or absorbed into it.
Strip any old wax, sealer or coating so work is done on bare stone.
Grind and hone to remove scratches, etch marks and lippage.
Polish to the finish you want — high polish, satin honed, or a natural matte.
Fill open holes in travertine and repair chips and cracks where needed.
Seal with an impregnating sealer so future spills have time to be wiped up.

Floors, counters, showers and vanities

Each needs a different approach. Shower walls and floors bring their own problems — hard water scale, soap film and grout that has given up — and honed floors are often the safer choice over high polish where water is involved. On countertops, a honed finish hides etching far better than a mirror polish does, which is worth discussing before the work starts rather than after.

In their words

Trusted by homeowners

Hasan was such a delight to work with. He took extreme pride in his work, and even spent more than his anticipated time to make sure I was satisfied. He was very honest, and so nice. I will definitely refer him, and use his services again.

We thought we would be out selecting a new granite slab and trying our best to get a good match with the rest of the kitchen countertop, but Hasan thankfully made that unnecessary. Part of our countertop was in pieces, but Hasan meticulously restored it back to a like-new surface. The repair he did is nothing short of amazing. His craftmanship and attention to detail was beyond our expectations. Thank you for saving our granite countertop Hasan!

My limestone countertops were in desperate need of refreshing and repair. Hasan did a wonderful job repairing nicks and scratches and refreshing the counters. He’s very nice, very neat & I highly recommend him.
