Enquire about this service
Acid washing, with care.
Acid washing is a specialist treatment that can help address certain mineral deposits or cement-based residues on compatible hard surfaces. The material, finish and type of residue determine whether it is appropriate. Tell us about your surface so suitability can be discussed before work is arranged.
Focus on the residue
Describe what you’re seeing, where it appears and whether it followed building work or developed over time.

Clear expectations.
Describe the residue
Let us know whether you are dealing with building residue, mineral deposits or an unknown mark. Include the surface material and any previous treatments you know about.
Check compatibility first
Acid washing is not a general solution for every surface. The material and finish need to be considered, and a suitable test patch can help establish the likely result.
Before you book.
Can every tiled or stone surface be acid washed?
No. Some surfaces and finishes can be damaged by acid. Suitability needs to be assessed rather than assumed.
Can I see a test patch?
Ask about testing a suitable area first. It helps demonstrate the likely result while checking how the surface responds.
