Common Stone and Tile Problems

Slique’s gallery has photos of many of the common stone and tile problems that we see, and can restore. Check out the photos to find your own problem - whether it's dirty tiles, stained stone, grubby grout, or a more unusual problem, chances are we've seen (and fixed) it before.
