Natural stone benchtops – in kitchens, bathrooms or even commercial applications – lend a touch of class and quality to any property. But after years of wear and tear, spills, heat and everything else we put them through, they can get scratched, stained or dull. That’s where professional services come into play and it is that exact service that VIP Stone Restoration offers you to revitalize, rejuvenate and prolong the life of your stone surfaces.

Reasons Why Stone Surfaces Deserve Professional Care

Stone is really quite gorgeous — but also porous and delicate. Over time daily use such as hitting hot pans directly on the surface, cutting and direct exposure to acids can wear on the surface resulting in etching, discoloration or scratching or chipping. Frequent wiping may help clear surface dust and grime, but it often cannot return the original luster, eliminate tough stains or fill in nicks and cracks. We us the utmost care in cleaning and restoring so that natural state of the stone is maintained.

So regular maintenance cleaning, polishing, sealing and repair — is worth considering. A good service will maintain the stone so it continues to resist future damage and looks as though new; also, you are likely to keep its value. And VIP Stone Restoration does it: they restore a whole host of materials, from marble and granite to limestone, travertine, sandstone and more.

What Influences The Price Of Stone Repair ?

Full replacement can be expensive when your benchtop gets chipped, cracked or gains deep stains — but repair and restoration can be much cheaper and more effective most of the time. For example, regular professional marble and stone polishing in Sydney is costed per square metre.

Simple polishing of a pretty good condition slab could be on the low end and more work (deep scratches, chips, heavy etching) will cost more. One guide says you can expect it to be around AU $65 per square metre for simple revitalisation through to between AU $120 and AU $150 per square metre for complete restoration including cutting, polishing and sealing.

Some companies that offer stone benchtop repairs cost will also say a mini kitchen benchtop can sometimes be given a spruce up for a few hundred rather than overhauling the whole thing.

Since each job is unique, based on your stone type, level of damage, size and other factors (grinding, sealing, polishing etc.), repair costs can have a wide price range — but it always costs less than replacing your natural stone!

Benefits of Professional Cleaning & Restoration There is something special about hiring professionals to get the job done right.

Maintains the natural beauty of the stone: Stone surfaces become dull over time. Professional polishing brings clarity and shine back to even heavily discolored jewelry.

Longer life for surfaces: Repairing damage such as chips, cracks and worn patches early on, extends the life of floor coating systems with significant cost advantage against replacing.

Guards against stains and damage: A good sealant can fend off stains and wear — crucial in kitchens and other high-traffic areas.

It’s cheaper than a new benchtop: Restoration can dramatically reduce the cost (and waste) of removing and replacing an entire bench top.
