Granite is one of the hardest and most durable natural stones used in luxury interiors. It is chosen for its strength, deep crystalline beauty, and long-lasting performance in both residential and commercial spaces.
But even granite is not immune to wear.
Over time, foot traffic, abrasives, cleaning chemicals, and heavy use can cause loss of shine, surface haze, scratches, and dull patches that reduce its premium appearance.
At Kensington Stone Restoration, we specialise in restoring granite surfaces to their original clarity, depth, and reflective finish across Kensington and Greater London.
We don’t just clean granite — we refine it, restore it, and bring it back to life.
Every surface is assessed individually before work begins.
1. Technical Stone Assessment
We identify granite type, finish level, and existing wear patterns.
2. Deep Surface Preparation
All dirt, residues, and surface contamination are removed to expose the true stone layer.
3. Diamond Refinement Honing
We use progressive diamond pads to remove scratches and surface dullness evenly.
4. Mechanical Polishing
Specialist polishing compounds are applied to rebuild gloss and clarity.
5. High-Definition Finish Restoration
The surface is refined to achieve a consistent, reflective, luxury-grade finish.
6. Protection & Sealing (Optional)
Where required, we apply professional-grade sealers to reduce staining and improve longevity.
Granite is strong, but its polished surface can still deteriorate.
Common issues include:
* Loss of mirror-like reflection
* Fine surface scratches
* Dull traffic lanes in busy areas
* Cloudy or hazy appearance
* Etching from harsh cleaning agents (less common but possible)
* Water spots and residue build-up
These problems build gradually, often going unnoticed until the stone looks significantly aged.
Granite restoration is a technical process that requires the correct balance of abrasion, refinement, and polishing compounds.
Too aggressive — and the stone is damaged.
Too light — and the finish remains dull.
Our process is engineered for accuracy.
We restore granite using controlled diamond systems designed to refine the surface without compromising its structural integrity.
Granite is widely used in premium London properties due to its durability and visual depth.
We restore granite in:
* Luxury kitchens
* High-end bathrooms
* Reception areas
* Hotel interiors
* Office lobbies
* Staircases and flooring
* Feature walls
* Commercial countertops
Each environment requires a different level of finish and maintenance approach, which we tailor on-site.
Even though granite is one of the hardest natural stones, its polished surface is still vulnerable.
Main causes include:
* Micro-abrasion from dust and grit
* Incorrect cleaning products
* Heavy foot traffic patterns
* Lack of maintenance polishing
* Residue build-up from soaps and detergents
This results in a surface that no longer reflects light evenly.
Our restoration process corrects this at a microscopic level.
In Kensington homes, granite is often a statement material — especially in kitchens and entrance areas.
We work with:
* Private homeowners
* Interior designers
* Luxury property developers
* Estate managers

We operate with care, discretion, and attention to detail — respecting both the property and the people who live in it.

* Luxury hotels
* Corporate offices
* Retail showrooms
* Restaurants and bars
* Private clubs
* Public reception areas

Yes. Most dull granite surfaces can be fully restored through diamond refinement and polishing.
Light to moderate surface scratches can be significantly reduced or fully removed.
Not always, but sealing can help protect certain finishes and reduce staining risk.
It depends on size and condition, but most residential projects are completed efficiently with minimal disruption.

Granite is built to last — but it still deserves professional care to maintain its luxury appearance.
At Kensington Stone Restoration, we restore granite surfaces with precision, discipline, and a focus on high-end finish quality.
