Understanding this surface
Travertine is a naturally porous limestone. Holes and older filler can become visible through wear. Compatible filler and a suitable finishing process matter.
Common reasons for an assessment
- Open holes and failing filler
- Surface chips and scratches
- Worn, etched or uneven finishes
Possible restoration approach
The right method should be determined by an inspection and, where appropriate, a test area.
- Identify natural voids and old filler
- Consider compatible cementitious or resin repair
- Refine the finish and advise on care
What affects the quote?
The stone, depth of wear, desired finish, area, edges, repairs, access and previous coatings can all affect the scope. An instant price calculator cannot reliably account for these variables.
Questions about this type of work
Why does old filler fall out?
Voids may reopen when filler deteriorates or is affected by traffic, cleaning or movement. The underlying cause should be checked.
Can new filler match perfectly?
A careful colour and texture match may reduce visibility, but it cannot always make a repair invisible.
