Why Granite Sealing Matters

Granite is naturally porous, making it susceptible to:

  • Staining from oils, wines, and everyday spills
  • Bacterial growth in microscopic pores
  • Water absorption leading to darkening
  • Dulling of the surface over time

Signs Your Granite Needs Resealing

Watch for these warning signs that indicate it's time for professional resealing:

  • Water no longer beads on the surface
  • Dark spots appear after spills
  • Loss of shine and lustre
  • Rough or uneven texture

The Professional Sealing Process

Our expert technicians follow a meticulous process to ensure maximum protection:

  1. Deep cleaning and preparation
  2. Surface assessment for existing damage
  3. Application of professional-grade sealant
  4. Curing and finishing

Before sealing, we can address any existing damage through our granite crack repairs or granite scratch removal services.
