About Us
Hampshire Hard Floor Care is a family-run business personally run by Richard and Michelle. We specialise in the cleaning, restoration, and protection of hard flooring across Hampshire, using a combination of professional training, advanced machinery, and industry-approved products.
From deep mechanical cleaning and machine-assisted honing to professional sealing and finishing systems, every stage of the process is carried out by us as the owners. We take the time to assess each floor properly, choose the correct pads, tools, and chemistry, and work methodically to achieve the best possible results.
Because all work is completed by us—not subcontractors—you get consistent quality, honest guidance, and a genuinely personal service. Our aim is always the same: restore your floors safely, beautifully, and with long-lasting protection.
Marble floors require expert care to preserve their natural elegance, clarity, and long-term durability. As a softer calcium-based stone, Marble is highly sensitive to acids, scratches, and everyday wear, so using the correct cleaning methods, tools, and maintenance products is essential to avoid damage.

Bring Back the Natural Beauty of Your Marble Floors
Marble is a naturally porous and calcium-based stone, which makes it highly sensitive to staining, etching, and surface dullness if not cared for correctly. Dirt, grime, and spills can settle into the pores or react with the minerals in the stone, causing permanent marks or a loss of clarity. Because marble is softer than many people realise, DIY cleaning is often ineffective — and using the wrong products or techniques (especially anything acidic, abrasive, or overly alkaline) can easily cause further harm, including etched patches, scratches, and uneven dulling.
Richard and Michelle at Hampshire Hard Floor Care specialise in cleaning, restoring, and protecting Marble floors to keep them looking pristine.
Richard and Michelle understand the unique needs of Marble. With advanced equipment and specialist stone-care products, they can safely deep-clean, hone, and restore your floors while protecting their natural clarity and elegant appearance. Staining and acid damage (etching) are particularly common on Marble due to its calcium-based composition — more information can be found here.
Our cleaning method is safe for all types of natural and man-made stone surfaces, including Marble. We use specialist pH-balanced, marble-safe products along with carefully controlled cleaning techniques that lift away dirt, grime, and residues without scratching or dulling the surface.
Unlike harsh pressure washing, acidic cleaners, abrasive pads, or overly alkaline chemicals — all of which can cause etching, loss of shine, or erosion — our approach preserves the natural structure and finish of your Marble. Each floor is assessed individually, allowing us to tailor our tools, brushes, pads, and cleaning solutions to suit the stone type, finish, level of wear, and the degree of soiling.

Deep Cleaning of MarbleItem Link List Item 1
At Hampshire Hard Floor Care, our Marble cleaning process is designed to deep clean and refresh your stone safely, without causing etching, dullness, or surface damage. We begin by protecting surrounding areas, then remove all dry soil and loose debris to prevent scratching during wet cleaning.
Specialist alkaline or marble-safe pH-balanced cleaning solutions are then applied and allowed to dwell. These products gently break down ingrained dirt, surface residues, and contaminants without reacting with the calcium carbonate in the stone. Using low-speed rotary or planetary machines fitted with non-abrasive brushes or pads suitable for Marble, we carefully agitate the surface to lift out embedded soil while strictly controlling moisture to avoid over-wetting or streaking.
Once the stone is clean and fully dry, we apply a high-quality impregnating sealer to help repel oils, water, and everyday spills. This essential step enhances protection and makes the surface far easier to maintain. We then finish with a soft, controlled buff to ensure the stone appears even, natural, and beautifully refreshed.
The result is a clean, clarified Marble surface that retains its natural elegance, colour depth, and subtle, luxurious sheen — all restored without risk to the stone’s integrity.

Honing and Polishing of MarbleItem Link List Item 2
We restore worn, scratched, or dull Marble floors through a precise diamond honing and polishing process. After deep cleaning and preparation, we work through carefully selected grades of diamond abrasives, starting with coarser grits to remove surface wear, scratches, etching, and traffic patterns. As the process progresses, finer grits are used to refine the stone, tighten the surface structure, and gradually rebuild clarity and reflection.
Each stage is meticulously cleaned between grit changes to prevent contamination and ensure a consistent, uniform finish across the entire floor. Because Marble is sensitive to both acids and abrasion, this controlled, methodical approach is essential for achieving high-quality results.
The final level of finish — whether a soft matte, satin sheen, or a mirror-like high gloss — is tailored to your preference and guided by the natural characteristics of the Marble itself. This allows us to restore the stone’s elegance while enhancing its depth, colour, and luxurious appearance.

Etch and Stain RemovalItem Link List Item 3
Marble is particularly vulnerable to staining and acid etching, making it one of the most commonly restored surfaces we work on. Richard and Michelle specialise in correcting these issues using professional marble-safe restoration techniques — never harsh chemicals or DIY acids that can make the problem far worse.
We begin by identifying the type of mark:
• Etching – caused by acidic spills (wine, lemon juice, cleaning products) reacting with the calcium in the Marble, leaving dull, rough, or light patches on the surface.
• Staining – caused by oils, coloured liquids, moisture, or organic material absorbing into the stone’s pores.
Etched areas are restored using controlled light honing or micro-polishing with fine diamond abrasives to re-level the surface and rebuild clarity. For deeper stains, we apply specialist poultices and drawing agents formulated specifically for Marble. These treatments gently extract contamination from the pores without damaging the stone.
Once the affected area is fully corrected and dry, we blend the finish seamlessly with the surrounding Marble — whether matte, satin, or high gloss — to ensure a consistent appearance. We then apply a premium impregnating sealer to help protect the stone from future marking and make day-to-day maintenance easier.
This service combines technical precision with years of hands-on experience, allowing us to safely restore Marble floors even when previous attempts or shop-bought cleaners have failed.

Sealing and ProtectionItem Link List Item 4
After cleaning or restoration, we apply premium-quality penetrating sealers to protect your Marble floors from future staining, etching from everyday spills, and general wear. Marble is naturally porous and sensitive, so using the correct sealer is essential for long-term performance and easier maintenance.
We apply either a solvent-based or water-based professional impregnating sealer, depending on the density of the Marble and the environment it is installed in. These high-performance sealers:
*Penetrate deeply into the stone structure
*Provide strong oil and water repellence
*Leave no surface film or artificial shine
*Allow the stone to breathe naturally
*Ofer long-term protection with simple, low-effort maintenance
Because Marble is particularly vulnerable to oils, coloured liquids, and acidic spills, proper sealing is a key part of keeping the surface looking clean, elegant, and easier to maintain.
Once sealing is complete, we finish with a gentle buff to ensure an even, natural appearance that enhances the stone’s clarity and colour without altering its finish.

Crack Repair and Hole fillingItem Link
We can repair and fill small holes, chips, and cracks in your Marble floors to restore a clean, consistent surface and improve the overall appearance of the stone. Using high-quality resin-based fillers, we carefully colour-match each repair to the surrounding Marble so it blends naturally once honed and polished. This ensures the repair is discreet, structurally sound, and visually seamless.
Our specialist fillers bond securely within the stone, helping to prevent further deterioration, soil accumulation, or moisture ingress. These repairs are typically carried out prior to honing or polishing so that the final finish is smooth, even, and free from visible imperfections.
Whether the damage is caused by impact, wear, historic repairs, or natural weaknesses within the stone, our restoration methods return your Marble to a refined, uniform appearance while preserving its natural elegance and unique character.
-
Periodic MaintenanceItem Link
Regular professional maintenance is essential to keep Marble looking its best and to preserve the clarity, smoothness, and elegance of the surface. Because Marble is softer and more reactive than many other stones, it can gradually lose its sheen, develop fine scratches, or become dulled by foot traffic, spills, and everyday use.
Over time, even well-sealed Marble benefits from a professional deep clean and light refinement, especially in busy areas such as kitchens, hallways, and bathrooms.
Our periodic maintenance service typically includes:
*Deep mechanical cleaning with marble-safe solutions to remove embedded dirt, residues, and surface films
*Light honing or micro-polishing (where needed) to correct minor wear, restore clarity, and refresh the finish
*Targeted stain or etch correction for areas affected by acidic spills or localised marking
*Reapplication of a penetrating impregnating sealer to maintain resistance against water, oils, and staining
*Gentle buffing to restore a clean, even, and naturally elegant appearance
*Inspection of grout lines, joints, and previous repairs to identify any developing issues early
Routine maintenance not only improves the appearance of the stone but also prolongs the life of the protective sealer and prevents minor wear from developing into visible damage.
Richard and Michelle also provide tailored aftercare advice — including recommended marble-safe cleaning products — to help you keep your Marble floors looking beautifully maintained between professional visits.
