Holes & Pits (Travertine)

Modern Stone Care fills travertine holes and pits in Houston.

If your travertine catches dirt, feels rough, or keeps opening new voids, we clean, refill, hone, and seal so the surface is smooth, safe, and easier to maintain.

What’s Going On

Travertine is full of natural voids. Over time, traffic and cleaning pull filler out of those pores. New pits open, soil packs in, and the floor looks patchy and feels rough. Kitchens, entries, and hallways show it first.

When Pit Filling Is The Right Choice

Choose this service when you notice:

New holes opening in walk paths
Rough spots that catch mops and socks
Dark dots that never look clean after mopping
Kids or pets snagging on sharp edges

If you also see scratches you can feel, add Honing. If the floor is only dirty or sticky, start with Stone Cleaning.

FAQs

Will new pits keep opening?

Travertine can open new voids over time. Filling plus sealing reduces this, and light touch-ups during maintenance visits keep it under control.

Can you match the color?

Yes. We choose fillers that blend with your stone and finish, then hone and polish to match.

Do you make travertine perfectly flat?

We reduce minor lippage during honing. If edges are high, we will discuss options and whether grinding is needed.

How long will repairs last?

With safe cleaners, mats, and sealing, repairs hold up well. Busy paths benefit from periodic checks.

Is this dusty?

We use wet methods and containments to control dust and keep work zones tidy.

Review by Bruce G.

Modern Stone Care did a first rate professional job on cleaning and sealing the travertine tile on our rear patio and front entranceway. See photos. They were on time and were a pleasure to work with. They explained the process as the work was done. All of our furniture was moved out of the way and when the work was done placed back.

Review by Stevem B.

Modern Stone Care did a great job on restoring 29 year old travertine kitchen floor tile. They also showed us how to keep care of the floor tile. Price was very fair. Not supposed to use Pine Sol, as not good for floor stone (I have been using Pine Sol for last two years).. MSC polished the stone and restored its sheen. Great job!

Review by Kevin S.

We had Modern Stone Care refinish our countertops. They let us see a matte finish before doing all of the countertops and after we saw it we really liked it. It only took them a couple of hours. They did a great job and I would definitely use them again

Review by Scott B.

What an amazing job modern stone care did on my marble floors, oh my goodness! I’ve never had my marble floors cleaned until today, now I regret not doing it sooner. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to see a significant improvement and their stone floors. Really nice folks who come to the house and they leave the house very clean and neat.
