Resurfacing and polishing concrete worktops
Concrete is an incredibly porous material that is very sensitive to acidic products or detergents. When we are called to refurbish concrete worktops we are often faced with numerous stains, marks and etches that need to be removed first.
It is not always possible to remove every stain as sometimes they run too deep, however staining will always get much better.
To polish concrete cement worksurfaces we first deep clean them by using appropriate cement cleaning detergents and steam. This draws out deeply ingrained dirt and old discoloured tile sealer.
Once nice and clean we begin the resurfacing and polishing process which basically involves removing fine layers of the concrete and gradually closing the pores by using finer grades. We often find concrete cement worktops achieve quite a good level of shine which really lifts them up!
How do we seal concrete cement kitchen work surfaces?
Sealing your concrete worktops is absolutely vital. The sensitive nature of cement requires it to be sealed professionally in order to preserve it or it will get all marked and stained again. Sealing is something the homeowner will need to get used to doing to maintain the work surfaces. We aim to discuss this with our clients on the job if they are around.
