    Hi All,

    I have a granite kitchen table top (approx 90 cm x 120cm c 20mm) which needs some care. I am not sure of it is a re-polishing or if it first needs to be ground back 1-2mm and then polished. Does anyone know a business who does this kind of work ?

    Your location would help, but it probably just needs a clean and reseal which a tiler would do.

    Location is Cork but willing to take it to whereever.

    It has seen heavy use over the last 20 years and I am not sure how much of the gunk cleaning will remove.

    Hickey's Ballincollig would be worth a try.

    I tried them and while they will cut the slab down, they do not seem to do surface polishing. Said it was a fairly specialized task. I guess they buy prefab polished slabs from India/Brazil, cut to size and at most do the edges.

    May end up doing it myself with a polisher and diamond pads/.
