Travertine is a classic choice for flooring. This type of floor looks amazing when it’s well cared for. However, it does need professional maintenance to avoid damage by everyday wear and tear.

When to book our travertine cleaning and restoration service in Frome
To keep your travertine floor maintained, weekly sweeping and dusting is essential. However, you also need to book semi-regular professional cleaning and polishing. This will increase the travertine floor’s lifespan as much as possible.
But how often should you professionally clean your travertine floor? Well, several factors will decide this. One of the main things to consider when making this decision is the amount of footfall the floor receives. The more foot traffic, the more frequently the floor needs cleaning, This means that commercial premises generally require a professional clean more often than domestic settings.
If you are thinking about whether you need to arrange a professional restoration for your travertine floors, you can check your floor for these common problems:
- A lifeless and colourless appearance
- You may have noticed certain edges or uneven sections of floor
- Holes and pits in the surface
- Cracks and marks on the surface of the floor
- Mopping doesn’t change the appearance of the floor
- The grouting looks worn or has become loose
- The floor has leftover scuffs and marks from building work
- Dirt and scratches are stubborn and won’t come out of the surface
- Dull spots on the floor

TileMaster Frome’s travertine restoration process:
Every member of the team at TileMaster Frome has been trained to expertly restore travertine floors. We use the most sophisticated techniques and equipment to achieve the best results for our customers. Our technicians use a special multi-step cleaning process which includes the use of state-of-the-art floor cleaning machines and solutions. This method creates a flawless finish:
- Step 1 – Before the restoration begins, we will assess the condition of the travertine and chat with you about finish and seal options.
- Step 2 – Once a plan is in place, we will prepare the area of work by removing furniture.
- Step 3 – Next, we put our low-tack masking tape on sensitive surfaces and on any surroundings that can be damaged during the cleaning process.
- Step 4 – To remove any soil or dirt from the surface of the floor we will sweep and dry vacuum the area thoroughly.
- Step 5 – We then use our custom cleaning agents to strip away any old sealer and these products will also remove previous cleaning solutions.
- Step 6 – The next step involves using mechanical agitation and a power scrub with a PH-neutral floor cleaner. This step deep cleans the travertine tiles and grout.
- Step 7 – To remove the dirt and cleaner, we will use a fresh water rinse with a high-power vacuum. The dirty solution will go straight into our specialist vacuum tanks.
- Step 8 – Diamond sanding is next and this will smooth the surface. This step will also deal with any etching or marks.
- Step 9 – Diamond polish is next and this will create either a honed, matt, satin, high shine, or mirror finish. You can request which finish you would like.
- Step 10 – We will then speed dry the floor. Once dry we will do a final buff to remove any remaining surface marks.
- Step 11 – The last step of the travertine clean involves using a commercial-grade impregnating sealer and this protects the grout from spills and stains.
- Step 12 – Once the clean is complete the customer gives a final inspection and sign-off. We will then give you advice on the daily and weekly maintenance of travertine floors and you will receive a complementary 6 months worth of cleaner.

FAQs
No problem! Using specialist filler and a traditional wax method we can colour match fillers on site to help make them look like a natural feature of your tile
Yes, we can use aggressive diamond tooling to remove the lips or sharp edges. Once the floor is flat we can smooth out the floor and bring back the wonderful polished finish
Scratches, scuff marks and damage on the floor can be removed if they are surface-level and in the dressing. Deeper scratches on the surface may require a more intensive process to use diamond pads to repair the scratch.
We are happy to give a ballpark figure from pictures and room sizes, as this can help customer budgeting on renovation projects if they are unsure whether to restore or replace, but ultimately we would need to carry out a full survey and demo before any work can take place.
Yes, we are always happy to call out and offer a free demo clean. Not only does this give you, the customer, a good indication of the results we can achieve, it also allows us to quote for the floor correctly, as we know the process required to achieve those results.
Every job is different, due to furniture, size of area and treatments required but during the free survey & demo we will give you an estimate of time. For example, we recently completed a deep clean and sealed a marble floor of 40sqm in 1.5 days
Every job is different but during the free survey we measure up, do a free demonstration clean to show the results we can achieve, and from this we send over a full proposal for you to browse at your own leisure. We do not give prices on the day or put you under any pressure for an answer there and then
Yes, the floor is fine to use once we leave on the first day. We try to leave protection on the floor in the main traffic way or around the kitchen island, in front of the sink or oven. We normally suggest just not to cook anything like spag bol or curry, however, because the sauce might end up splattering on the floor
Holes in travertine are perfectly natural and are caused by hot springs or gasses passing through the rock. The pits and air pockets can be filled in the factory process, but these can pop out and come away from foot traffic when the tiles are first laid. Also, some travertine is sold unfilled and during the fitting the tiler fixer will float the grout over the whole tile and fill up the holes and pits with grout. This is perfectly fine, however the grout can become stained and discoloured if it isn’t sealed and maintained correctly
