California Tile Restoration provides professional tile staining, sealing, and polishing services for Saltillo tile, terra cotta, Mexican pavers, slate, flagstone, and natural stone surfaces throughout Northern California.
With over 23 years of experience, we specialize in custom color matching, protective sealing, and long-lasting finishes that enhance the appearance, durability, and maintenance of your tile surfaces.
Professional Tile Staining, Sealing & Polishing
Once tile and paver surfaces are properly stripped and cleaned, they can be stained, sealed, and polished to achieve the desired color, finish, and level of protection. This process enhances both the look and longevity of the surface.
We work with interior and exterior surfaces and tailor the process based on material type, usage, and environmental exposure.

Custom Tile Staining & Color Matching
We specialize in custom staining for Saltillo tiles, terra cotta, and pavers, allowing you to match existing colors or completely transform the look of your floors.
Unlike paint, proper staining allows natural variation, texture, and character of the tile to remain visible while achieving a consistent overall tone.
Our experience ensures that stain is applied correctly so it bonds properly and performs well over time.
Flagstone Sealers:
Sealing Options for Long-Lasting Protection
After staining and preparation, we apply the appropriate sealer based on whether the surface is interior or exterior and the desired finish.
- Acrylic sealers for interior surfaces
- Penetrating sealers for exterior durability
- Color-enhancing sealers for richer appearance
- Low-luster or high-gloss finishes depending on preference
Proper sealing protects the tile and grout from stains, moisture, and wear while making ongoing maintenance easier.
Tile Polishing & Finish Enhancement
We apply multiple layers of finish to build protection and achieve the desired look, from natural matte finishes to high-gloss polished surfaces.
The goal is to create a protective layer where wear occurs on the finish rather than the tile itself, allowing surfaces to be maintained and restored over time.
Staining & Sealing for Saltillo, Pavers, Slate & More
We provide staining, sealing, and polishing services for Saltillo tile, Mexican pavers, Tecate pavers, Lincoln pavers, slate, flagstone, marble, brick, terrazzo, and other natural stone surfaces throughout Northern California.
Whether you want to refresh your existing floors or completely change their appearance, we provide tailored solutions for long-lasting results.
We recommend a color-enhancing sealer for exterior / outdoor saltillo floors.
We apply 2 coats of color enhancer, and 1 coat of penetrating sealer (for the added protection that we feel like the enhancer doesn’t offer being that it’s a true sealer).
We clean Saltillo’s on hands and knees detailing every corner, nook, and cranny with a meticulous eye for detail (which is why we don’t use machines B.T.W)
If your Saltillo’s are sealed correctly from the beginning and you stuck to the maintenance schedule, maintenance will be quick and painless with great results every time.
