    Quick Answer

    How much does travertine restoration cost in Arizona, and what does it include?

    Travertine restoration in Arizona starts at $5.00 per square foot and includes grinding out scratches and lippage, filling open pits and holes, honing or polishing to the finish you want, and sealing the stone. Most East Valley travertine floors are restored in one to two days.

    Professional Travertine Restoration Services

    Travertine is one of the most beautiful natural stones, but Arizona's harsh desert climate and hard water can take a toll on its appearance. At Lazona Tile Care, we specialize in restoring travertine floors, showers, and countertops to their original elegance.

    Our comprehensive travertine restoration process includes professional honing to remove scratches and etching, diamond polishing to restore natural luster, hole filling with color-matched materials, and penetrating sealer application for long-lasting protection.

    Whether your travertine has lost its shine, developed unsightly holes, or shows signs of wear from years of foot traffic, our IICRC-certified technicians have the expertise to bring it back to life. We've restored thousands of travertine surfaces across the Phoenix Valley since 2014.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Lazona Tile Care runs travertine crews out of 3100 W Ray Rd in Chandler, which puts us within about 30 minutes of most East Valley travertine.

There is no trip charge in Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert or Tempe; Scottsdale and Paradise Valley carry a $150 trip charge.

    Yes. Chipped edges, cracked tiles, spalling around pool decks, hollow tiles and blown-out holes are repair work rather than cleaning work. Travertine and stone repair starts at $500 regardless of size, and we usually repair first, then hone and polish so the patch disappears into the surrounding floor.

    Travertine restoration typically starts at $5.00 per square foot for basic honing and sealing. Full restoration with hole filling and high-polish finish ranges from $8-15 per square foot depending on condition.

    Most residential travertine floors can be restored in 1-2 days. Larger projects or severely damaged surfaces may require additional time. Your floors are typically ready for light use within 24 hours.

    We recommend professional cleaning and resealing every 2-3 years, with full restoration as needed, typically every 5-10 years depending on traffic and wear.

    Yes! We restore travertine pool decks, patios, and walkways. Outdoor travertine requires specialized techniques to address weathering, algae, and UV damage.

    How to Maintain Natural Stone Floors
    Restoration & Preservation

    Why Cleaning Only Was Not Cutting It

    After thousands of East Valley homes, we kept seeing the same pattern: cleaning tile, stone, showers, and counters looked great on the day of service, then the grout darkened, the stone dulled, and the hard water came back. So we stopped selling cleaning as the finish line and rebuilt the company around restoration and preservation, with a written guarantee on the result.

    What cleaning alone leaves behind

    • The grout goes right back to gray

      Cement grout is a sponge. A cleaning-only company extracts the dirt sitting in the pores, then hands the floor back with those pores wide open. Within weeks of mopping, foot traffic, and Arizona dust, the joints darken again.

    • Permanent staining does not respond to pressure

      Once grout has absorbed grease, dye, pet accidents, or years of dirty mop water, no amount of heat or PSI brings the color back. The stain is inside the cement, not on top of it.

    • Clear sealers wear off in 12 to 24 months

      The upsell after a cleaning is usually a clear penetrating sealer. It is invisible, it does nothing for uneven color, and you are paying to reapply it every year or two forever.

    • Damage gets cleaned over instead of repaired

      Cracked joints, missing grout, hollow tile, etched marble, and hard water buildup are structural problems. Cleaning around them means the failure keeps progressing under a clean-looking surface.

    The Lazona restorative approach

    1. 1

      Repair first

      Failed grout is removed and replaced to solid substrate. Hollow or loose tile is re-bonded, chips are filled, travertine pits are color matched.

    2. 2

      Restore the surface itself

      Deep extraction on tile and grout, diamond honing and polishing on natural stone, acid-free descaling and glass restoration in showers, refinishing on counters. We correct the surface instead of masking it.

    3. 3

      Preserve it with a warranty

      Grout is permanently color sealed, stone is sealed or coated for its use case, glass gets a protective treatment. Every color seal carries our Never Seal Again guarantee backed by a 15-Year Warranty.

    The Never Seal Again Guarantee

    Every grout color sealing job we perform is covered by our Never Seal Again guarantee: your grout is permanently color sealed with a pigmented, non-porous barrier and backed by a 15-Year Warranty against peeling, flaking, and discoloration. No annual resealing, no recurring sealer invoices, no scrubbing grout lines back to life.

    If the seal fails inside the warranty window, we come back and make it right at no cost to you.

    Material Intelligence

    Every Surface In Arizona Fails Differently. We Diagnose Before We Touch It.

    Anyone can rent a machine and spray a sealer. Restoration is a materials science problem: what the stone is made of, what our water and sun do to it, and which grit or chemistry brings it back without shortening its life. Here is the reference table our crews work from on every East Valley job.

    Material properties, Arizona-specific failure modes and Lazona restoration protocols
    Material Hardness / porosity How it fails here Our protocol
    Travertine Mohs 3 to 4 (calcite) Open vugs fill with hard water scale, then spall at the edges Fill voids with color-matched polyester, hone at 400 grit, seal with an impregnator
    Marble & limestone Mohs 3 (calcite) Acid etching from citrus, softener salt and shampoo pooling 100 grit only when erosion is present, then 400 to 3000 grit polish to the original finish
    Granite & quartzite Mohs 6 to 7 Sealer failure around sinks, rust bleed at anchor points, dull seams Diamond re-polish, epoxy seam rebuild, sink remount, solvent-based impregnator
    Porcelain & ceramic Mohs 7 to 8 glaze Grout absorbs pigment permanently while the tile itself stays perfect Deep clean, repair, then pigmented epoxy color seal so the grout never absorbs again
    Saltillo & terracotta Soft, high porosity Yellowed acrylic topical wax that cracks and traps dirt under the coating Full strip of the old coating, neutralize, rebuild with breathable finish coats
    Slate & flagstone Mohs 3 to 5, cleft face UV bleaching and delamination on pool decks and patios Low-pressure deep clean, flake removal, color-enhancing sealer rated for exterior sun

    East Valley Water Hardness, City By City

    Anything above 10 grains per gallon is classified very hard. Every city we serve sits well past that line, which is why scale returns on showers and why unsealed grout turns gray again within months.

    The Standards We Build To

    • TCNA Handbook movement joint and substrate guidance, which is how we prove whether hollow tile is an installation defect or normal wear.
    • ANSI A108 and A118 bonding and grout specifications for every repair and re-set we perform.
    • Natural Stone Institute finish classifications so a honed floor leaves honed and a polished floor leaves polished.
    • Our own 15-Year Warranty, which is the only reason we refuse shortcuts other companies sell as savings.
