Travertine is a highly versatile stone that’s suitable for use in and outside the home. The material benefits from a wide range of finishes and textures which enable it to complement most interior styles. Yet, while it looks stunning, its inherent softness means it’s difficult to maintain and is prone to damage.

Like most types of stone, Travertine doesn’t come cheap. For this reason, many feel it’s entirely uneconomical to replace the flooring when it gets damaged or shows signs of wear and tear.

What are the benefits of repairing my flooring?

The key benefit is the cost. Needless to say, replacing an entire Travertine floor will be very expensive. The alternative is the cost of a couple of hours labour.

In addition, replacing the entire floor of a room within your home can cause a great deal of disruption to your life, particularly if that room is one used on a daily basis such as the kitchen or bathroom. Alternatively, our repair technicians can be in and out of your way in mere hours, meaning there will be minimal, if any, disruption to your day-to-day life.

Lastly, choosing to repair damage to the home rather than seeking a replacement is the environmentally friendly option.

Disposing of an entire floor that could be repaired is unnecessarily assigning goods to landfill. In addition, the mining, excavation and transportation of Travertine releases harmful pollutants into the air.

Hometech prides itself on its commitment to environmental factors and sustainability and is therefore dedicated to encouraging homeowners to choose a repair wherever possible.

Can’t I repair the damage myself?

You could – most large home stores will sell repair kits for flooring, including Travertine stone. However, many homeowners fail to achieve the desired results and while the flooring is technically repaired, signs of the damage may still be clearly visible.

Thankfully Hometech’s professional and talented technicians pride themselves on their ability to make repairs that are near invisible to the naked eye.
