Stone staircases face the most concentrated foot traffic of any stone surface — the tread edge wears first, creating dips, scratches and chipped nosings that also become slip hazards. Marble, granite, terrazzo, bluestone and limestone staircases require specialist grinding, honing and polishing techniques different from floor work. Aus Floor Care provides professional stone staircase restoration across Melbourne.

Yes — worn marble stair treads are one of our most common restoration projects. We grind the worn centres back to a level, flat surface, eliminating the dip that concentrates wear. After grinding, we progressively hone and polish to restore the original finish.
Yes. Stair nosing chips are repaired with colour-matched stone epoxy, cured, then ground and polished. Nosing chips are both unsightly and a potential trip hazard — repairing them improves both safety and appearance.
A high-gloss polished stone staircase can be slippery when wet. We generally recommend a satin honed finish for stone staircases as the best balance of appearance and safety. An anti-slip treatment can also be applied if a high-gloss finish is preferred.
A standard residential staircase of 10–15 steps typically takes 1–2 days for full grinding, honing and polishing. Simpler polishing-only or nosing repair jobs are often completed in a single day.
