Travertine Shower Restoration in Las Vegas
Hard water, soap residue, and moisture create unique challenges for travertine showers. We restore clarity and protect your stone from water damage.
About This Service
Travertine showers face constant exposure to hard water, soap, and steam. The porous stone absorbs moisture, allowing minerals and soap residue to penetrate deeply. Over time, this creates a permanently hazy appearance that cleaning can't fix. Grout often fails first, allowing water behind tiles. Professional restoration removes deposits, restores the finish, repairs grout, and seals to slow future damage.
Signs Your Travertine Needs Professional Attention
Visual indicators that indicate it's time for restoration
- White haze that won't wipe away
- Rough texture where stone was smooth
- Dark or discolored grout lines
- Musty smell from trapped moisture
- Water absorbing instead of beading
Why Travertine Showers Struggle in Las Vegas
Las Vegas conditions create unique challenges for natural stone
- 278 PPM hard water is among the hardest in America, leaving deposits with every shower
- Porous travertine absorbs minerals and soap residue deeper than other stones
- Steam from hot showers accelerates mineral penetration
- Dry climate outside the shower creates moisture cycling that stresses grout
- Many Vegas homes have travertine showers from the 2005-2010 building boom now needing restoration
Our restoration process is specifically designed for Las Vegas conditions, using products and techniques that address these local factors.
