Expert Tile Cleaning in Dundee – Does your floor seem to sigh with weariness?
Scuffed tiles, lacklustre marble, and filthy grout that stubbornly refuses to brighten up, despite your best scrubbing efforts. You're certainly not alone in this struggle. Our floors tell the tales of our lives—muddy footprints from a day spent at Broughty Ferry beach, paw prints from the dog rushing in from Ninewells Park, and the soft footfalls of guests gathering for Sunday roasts in the West End. As time passes, these stories often morph into unsightly stains and scratches.
However, tired-looking stone does not have to remain that way.
At Repair Restore Revive, we bring over 25 years of expertise, state-of-the-art tools, and an unwavering passion for perfection to every slab, tile, and terrace we treat. Whether you reside on the slopes of Dundee Law or in the tranquil streets of Barnhill, the lustrous shine you once adored can be restored to life—often within just one day.

Discover Why Homeowners Enthusiastically Recommend Our Services
1. Dependable Service That Respects Your Schedule
We arrive promptly or call ahead to inform you—it's as straightforward as that. No more awkward clock-watching or wasting half the day waiting for a knock on the door that never comes.
2. Expertise You Can Observe—and Experience
Our technicians examine stone with the same level of scrutiny that sommeliers apply to tasting fine wine. Different densities, hidden veins, or uneven lippage between tiles? We identify these issues within seconds and adjust our plan accordingly on-site.
3. Advanced Tools That Treat Surfaces With Care
Using industrial diamonds, low-moisture scrubbers, and dust-free grinders, our equipment may sound intimidating, yet they are actually gentler on stone than conventional supermarket mops. The outcome? A lasting shine and a surface that is far easier to maintain.
4. Customised Care for Every Type of Surface
The porous nature of travertine requires specific filling techniques, while the gentle lustre of marble necessitates a specialised polish that differs from that of robust porcelain. We never employ a one-size-fits-all solution in our treatments.

Common Stone and Tile Challenges We Expertly Address
Marble: Revive That Pristine Mirror-Like Shine
Frequent foot traffic leads to micro-scratches, dulling the natural sparkle of marble. Our diamond grinding technique eliminates lippage, levels grout, and polishes the surface until it beautifully reflects the light fixtures above.
Travertine: Eliminate Grimy Pits and Holes
Travertine is notorious for its little pits that love to trap grime. We perform a thorough deep-clean, replace missing filler, and then seal it with a breathable protector that maintains the warm honey tones while keeping dirt at bay.
Limestone: Transform Etched Surfaces into Elegant Finishes
Spills from wine or lemon juice can lead to unsightly acid etching. We expertly hone away these marks, smooth uneven edges, and finish with your choice of a silky matte or soft sheen to restore its beauty.
Terrazzo: Resilient Yet Radiant
While terrazzo is durable, it can lose its shine under the weight of shopping trolleys and high heels. Our multi-stage polishing process resurfaces it, adding a protective stain-guard sealer that ensures any cola spills can be effortlessly wiped away.
Sandstone: Comprehensive Deep-Cleaning for Hidden Areas
Rotary brushes effectively remove soil from between the grains, while pressure rinsing eliminates any residual dirt. A UV-stable sealant locks out future dirt but allows the stone to breathe naturally.
Slate: Achieve Dramatic Beauty Without the Dust
Cleft slate’s natural ridges can collect dust over time. We meticulously strip away old coatings, scrub the textured contours, and finish with an enhancer that makes the colour variations stand out beautifully.
Terracotta: Rustic Beauty with Reliable Protection
Unglazed terracotta tends to absorb oil like a sponge. We carefully strip, neutralise, and dry the surface, followed by applying a durable, natural-looking seal to protect its charm.
Victorian & Edwardian Tiles: Preserving Heritage with Care
Old wax, paint flecks, and even carpet glue can cling to these classic tiles. After a thorough cleaning, we apply a colour-boosting impregnator, finishing with a micro-wax to achieve a sophisticated, low sheen.
Quarry Tiles: Reviving Kitchen Classics
Sturdy red quarry tiles may seem beyond redemption, but beneath the grease lies their hidden beauty. Our alkaline degreasers, hot rinses, and breathable sealers work together to reveal the rich terracotta tones.
Porcelain: Stain-Resistant Yet Not Impervious
Budget porcelain can trap dirt within its microscopic pores, leading to a dull appearance. We use specialised pads to dislodge the grey haze, and a nano-sealer to prevent future staining.
Ceramic & Grout: Quick Solutions for Everyday Shine
Glazed ceramic is easy to clean, yet grout lines often darken first. We steam-clean the grout, apply a clear stain-blocker, and rejuvenate your kitchen to look as good as new.
The Art and Craft of Restoration—A Behind-the-Scenes Look
-
Thorough Inspection & Testing
We apply various solutions to discreet corners of your floor, observing their reactions to avoid any surprises during the restoration process. -
Grinding & Honing Techniques
Consider this process akin to exfoliation for stone surfaces. Coarse diamond tools flatten any lippage, finer grits remove scratches, and ultra-fine pads create a luxuriously silky finish. -
Expert Polishing or Sealing
Hard stones like marble, granite, and terrazzo can be polished to achieve a natural gloss. Softer or textured stones such as travertine and slate remain matte but gain protection through high-performance sealers. -
Meticulous Detailing
For cracks, we use colour-matched resin fillers on-site. Missing grout is seamlessly blended with new lines to match the original shade. We ensure edges are buffed, skirting boards are wiped clean, and furniture is carefully replaced. -
Comprehensive After-Care Kit
You will receive a bottle of pH-neutral cleaner, a microfibre pad, and quick care tips: avoid bleach, vinegar, and instead, indulge in plenty of admiration for your beautifully restored floors.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
Q: How long will my room be out of action during the cleaning process?
Most kitchens and hallways can be ready for sock-only traffic within four hours, and shoes can be worn the following morning. Larger areas or heavy grinding may require an additional day.
Q: Is the cleaning process dusty?
Our state-of-the-art machines utilise continuous water feed or vacuum extraction, keeping dust levels significantly lower than those typically encountered in DIY sanding projects.
Q: Can you repair deep chips or cracks in the stone?
Absolutely. We colour-match resin fillers on-site, and after polishing, the repairs become nearly invisible unless you know exactly where to look.
Q: How often should sealing or polishing be repeated?
High-traffic commercial floors may require annual touch-ups, whereas residential spaces typically maintain their sparkle for three to five years before needing a quick maintenance visit.
Q: Will I need to move furniture prior to your visit?
It's helpful if you can shift small items like rugs, chairs, and plant pots beforehand. We are more than happy to carefully slide larger pieces and place felt pads under their legs before returning them to their original positions.
Every stone has a story to tell. Each mark and layer of grime narrates an intricate tale. When you wipe away the dirt, you unveil the chapter you once cherished—the shimmering veins, the warm hues, and the reflections that enhance the room's atmosphere. Are you ready to let your floor speak once more? Repair Restore Revive is just a call or click away to help you achieve the beauty your floor deserves.
