Travertine Cleaning & Restoration in San Diego
If your travertine has lost its luster, picked up etch marks, or developed dull spots in the high-traffic areas, you’ve got options well short of replacing it. We’ve restored thousands of square feet of travertine across North County — and most of it looks better than the day it was installed.
What we do for travertine
- Deep clean to remove ground-in dirt, soap scum, and old sealer residue
- Hole filling for the natural pits travertine develops over time
- Honing to remove etching, scratches, and traffic patterns
- Polishing when you want a higher sheen than a honed finish
- Sealing with the right impregnator for your stone's density and finish
Why travertine is its own animal
Travertine is calcium-based, which means anything acidic — orange juice, wine, vinegar, even some "stone-safe" cleaners that aren't really stone-safe — will etch the surface. Pits open up over time as the natural fill works loose. And the sealer wears off in traffic patterns first, leaving you with shiny edges and a dull middle.
We see this every week. There's a right way to fix it without grinding away half your stone.
The process
- Free in-home assessment. We test the stone, identify the issues, and quote a fixed price.
- Surface prep. Edges, baseboards, and adjacent surfaces are protected.
- Cleaning + restoration. Honing, polishing, fill — whatever your travertine actually needs.
- Seal. Penetrating sealer designed specifically for travertine.
- Walk-through + care guide. We show you what we did and how to keep it that way.
