Rust marks on white marble

Thank you Karl for the fantastic work in restoring our white marble patio.  When we spotted the rust marks on the stones, we had no idea how we would remove them. Not only did you manage to do just that, but have reset a couple of stones, repaired stones, repaired pointing and have generally made the patio look as good as new. We are absolutely delighted and will certainly recommend you to others.

Delighted with results… standard of workmanship was high

Re-vive carried out a refurbishment of my marble hall floor and I was delighted with the results. The standard of workmanship was high and their approach was very professional. Every care was taken to protect the adjacent rooms and I was appraised regularly on progress. What particularly impressed me, however, was the attention to detail and a readiness to go that extra mile to ensure as good an outcome as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend them”.

Karl restored our fireplace brilliantly and the result far exceeded our expectations. Our fireplace was badly chipped and needed a good clean, but it has now been restored like new. Karl is very skilled and I would highly recommend. See before and after photos.

Finding reliable specialists is not always easy. Revive responded quickly to my original enquiry, came up with a fair quote and clearly knew their stuff. Turned up when agreed, worked tirelessly, bothered to totally mask/cover to minimise dust etc and did such a great job! Our 20 Yr old worktops now look brand new. Would 100% recommend these guys!

Karl’s work on reconditioning our limestone kitchen, utility room and boot room floor was outstandingly good – comes up as new, and we are impressed with how Karl’s work exceeded expectations on how well this job could turn out. Thank you Karl and your colleague, Barny. Karl’s visit to assess the work before hand, his kind communications on possibly coming sooner, and his general professionalism around our contact and conducting the works was to be highly commended. Excellent service. Thank you again. Damian and Fiona Walsh

We have not been happy with our flooring in the Kitchen for many years. My Wife Found Re-Vive on the internet and contacted them for a quotation. Karl visited and gave loads of advise and assured us he could bring the floor up to a high standard, we did believe him but could not visualise what he could achieve. The first two photos are of how the floor had looked for many years and the second two are taken after Karl had finished. We did have the cupboards repainted and a new fridge installed which is why the units are slightly different. The floor honestly looks better than new and is now a the focal point of the room. It did Take Karl longer than expected and the room was not functional for a while, but we all agreed the time and costs were well worth the end result rather than Re-Vive rushing and the Fitters being put under pressure. We will be calling them back every year for an annual clean and polish now we have a surface we are proud off. Thanks for your advise and quality workmanship.

I left a leaky bag of oven cleaner on our granite worktop. Thought I’d put it beyond repair, but, Karl had a look and managed to remove the damage without a trace (phew!). Highly recommended.

Karl was relentless in repairing our very badly damaged quartz counter top (sodium hydroxide had eaten through it). I had no idea how he did it! I honestly thought it would need replacing but somehow he performed a miracle and we are ever so grateful the surfaces look new. Great workmanship

Catherine Jones

Absolutely delighted with the repair that Karl was able to perform for us. Our limestone fireplace hearth suffered damage just before Christmas, which we thought we’d be forced to replace entirely.
The repair was completed in one day, and all work carried out meticulously.
Please see before and after photos.
Once again, thank you Karl!

Revive stoneworks have provided an excellent service. Contact was efficient and a site visit was organised quickly. Karl is very knowledgeable and explained the various options available to clean a large Marble work surface. . Work followed quickly. He protected all areas and the results are amazing !Karl is meticulous and the room was left perfectly clean. Revive stoneworks prices are reasonable and I would fully recommend. Karl clearly is very experienced with all types of stone renovation.

Our granite kitchen worktops of some 20 years, were looking scratched and particularly dull. Home remedies failed on all attempts so we searched the web to find a professional who could help out.
Karl at Revive Stoneworks answered our call and came to show us what could be achieved in a surface test. The results were excellent and we commissioned him to work on all the surfaces together with removing several chip.
The results were beyond our expectations. The gloss was back the surface was resealed and chips gone.
Can’t recommend Karl and Revive Stoneworks enough, excellent all round.

I had a burn from a candle on my quartz worktop and i thought there was no hope. Karl from Revive came round and worked on it and it has now gone. What impressed me was that although i thought he had done it, he still wasn’t completely happy and he carried on until he was.
Very happy, saved me a huge replacement bill.
Highly recommended.

We bought a beautiful house with a very dilapidated marble fireplace that was clearly very special in its day but had not had any love or attention for many, many years. Occasionally in life, your expectations are not just met but, hugely exceeded and this was one of those occasions. Karl spent 10 hours diligently working his magic and the result was absolutely outstanding. We simply cannot recommend him highly enough. An extremely talented expert who passionately cares about his clients and who is a delight to have working in your home!

Karl came a long way to sort out the stain on my Portuguese Limestone Fireplace.
He spent about three hours erasing the deep- seated stain, using various techniques, such as sanding & chemical poultices.
The end result is a hearth like new and perfect.
He then sealed the porous stone to stop further staining.
The price was excellent & he was polite, friendly and clearly very skilled.
I cannot recommend him highly enough. A true craftsman. Thank you Jarl.

Karl came to repair an oven cleaner spillage I had on my quartz worktop – I was astounded by the results, it looks a good as new! If not bette! He was lovely to work with, thoughtful and professional. I would definitely recommend Karl for any restoration or repair. He made a very disappointing mistake seem as if it never happened.

Karl did an excellent job in removing marks and revitalising lack lustre quartz kitchen tops. Work was all done with care and attention and good protection around units. Very interesting to watch and learn about the process. Thank You.

Karl was very professional and not only repaired some chips to my granite worktop but completely re-polished the whole surface to ‘new condition’. I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending Karl and in using his services again.

Amazing service from start to finish! Karl is extremely knowledgeable and put my fears to rest regarding having my travertine floor fully restored. Holes and cracks were filled, several tiles replaced and I have to say the end result is incredible, better than when the floor was first laid! I can’t recommend Karl and Revive Stoneworks highly enough.

I cannot thank Karl enough for his hard work and determination to resolve an issue of staining on my kitchen granite, from an unknown cause. He is one of the most helpful and hardworking tradesmen I have ever used…not leaving until the job was done, despite it being almost 8pm. He is knowledgeable, professional and sympathetic…I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Decided to try and bring my 15 year old granite worktops to life rather than resorting to buying a new kitchen. Re-Vive Stoneworks were very responsive via email and phone, explaining the process to clean and seal the granite as well as repair a few chips and deep scratches.
I’ve been extremely surprised and very pleased by the results. The worktops look like new and i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karl and Re-Vive Stoneworks to anyone looking to repair or revive their worktops,
