Carrara Marble Swimming Pool Restoration – Twickenham House, London
Project Overview
MGS Restoration Ltd were commissioned to undertake specialist Carrara marble swimming pool restoration works at a private residential property in Twickenham, London, as part of a wider programme of marble and natural stone restoration throughout the house.
The project focused on the restoration and refinishing of the property’s main Carrara marble swimming pool floor together with the surrounding coping stone details. Over time, the marble surfaces had become worn and contaminated through constant exposure to moisture, pool chemicals, and daily use.
Our team carried out a full diamond refinishing programme to restore the marble surface to a clean and consistent honed finish while ensuring the floor complied with current R9 slip resistance standards required for safe use within wet environments.
The works also included specialist deep cleaning of the coping stone grooves surrounding the pool to remove ingrained contamination and restore clarity to the marble detailing.
This project also incorporated the use of our new LMA floor grinding machine and combination pad system, allowing us to achieve exceptional surface consistency and refinement across the Carrara marble
Project Details
Location: Twickenham House, London
Service: Carrara Marble Swimming Pool Restoration
Materials: Carrara Marble and Natural Stone Coping
Property Type: Private Residential Property
Project Type: Internal Swimming Pool Marble Restoration
The Challenge
The Carrara marble flooring surrounding the swimming pool had gradually lost its original appearance due to years of exposure to:
-
Moisture and humidity
-
Pool cleaning chemicals
-
General foot traffic
-
Surface contamination buildup
The original finish had become inconsistent and worn, while dirt and residue had accumulated within the grooves and detailing of the coping stone surrounds.
As part of the wider restoration works throughout the property, the swimming pool marble required refinishing to achieve:
-
A clean and uniform appearance
-
A safe anti-slip surface finish
-
Improved maintainability
-
Consistency with the surrounding restored marble surfaces
Because the flooring was located within a wet environment, achieving a compliant anti-slip finish without compromising the elegance of the Carrara marble was a key requirement.
The Restoration Process
Diamond Refinishing of Carrara Marble Floor
MGS Restoration carried out a complete diamond refinishing process across the Carrara marble swimming pool floor using our new LMA floor grinding machine together with a specialist combination pad system.
This process carefully removed surface wear, contamination, and inconsistencies while refining the marble to a smooth and even finish.
The LMA grinding system allowed our team to achieve a highly controlled and consistent refinement process across the entire marble floor area.
Honed Carrara Marble Finish
The marble floor was restored to a traditional honed finish, specifically selected for suitability within a swimming pool environment.
A honed Carrara marble finish provides:
-
Improved slip resistance
-
A softer and more natural appearance
-
Enhanced practicality in wet conditions
-
Easier long-term maintenance
The completed marble surface complied with current R9 slip resistance standards, helping ensure safe use throughout the swimming pool area.
Deep Cleaning of Coping Stone Grooves
The coping stone detailing surrounding the pool had accumulated dirt and contamination within the recessed grooves and edges over time.
Our team carried out specialist deep cleaning works to carefully restore these detailed areas while preserving the natural appearance of the marble and surrounding stone.
This process significantly enhanced the overall appearance and crispness of the pool surround detailing.
Integration with Wider Marble Restoration Works
The swimming pool restoration formed part of a much larger programme of marble and natural stone restoration works carried out throughout the property.
This ensured a consistent finish and level of craftsmanship across all restored stone surfaces within the house.
