Sealing & Stain Protection
Sealing & Stain Protection In St. George, UT
Stone looks solid, but it’s more open than it seems. Natural stone surfaces — like marble, granite, travertine, and limestone — are porous, which means they can absorb liquids, oils, and stains over time. At Sky’s Stone Care, we seal and protect stone surfaces to help prevent permanent damage and keep your countertops, floors, and showers in better shape, longer.
Sealing is one of the most important steps in keeping your stone strong and easy to maintain. Whether your surface is brand-new or has been in place for years, proper sealing adds a clear line of defense.

Why Sealing Is Important?
Unsealed stone absorbs liquids fast. That includes water, wine, coffee, oils, and even cleaning products. Once absorbed, some of those can leave behind stains that are hard — or impossible — to remove. Sealing helps by creating a barrier that lets you clean the mess before it soaks in.
Sealing helps protect against:
- Water damage
- Oil stains from food or skin contact
- Mold or mildew in bathrooms
- Grime buildup in floors and showers
- Acid-based etching from spills
Some stones like granite are less porous than others, but they still benefit from sealing — especially in kitchens and bathrooms where spills happen often.

Our Process
We start by checking the condition of your stone. If it hasn’t been sealed in over a year, or if water soaks in quickly instead of beading on the surface, it’s time to re-seal.
Our sealing process includes:
- Deep surface cleaning to remove dirt and oils
- Dry time to ensure no moisture gets trapped inside
- Application of stone-specific sealer with time to absorb fully
- Steam cleaning as part of a sanitization and disinfection service
This service is safe for all types of natural stone and is often done after polishing or honing to lock in the finish.
We seal:
- Kitchen and bathroom counters
- Showers and bathroom tile
- Entryways and floors
- Outdoor kitchens and BBQ counters
- Fireplaces and stone features
How Often Should Stone Be Sealed?
In most cases, stone should be sealed every 12–18 months. Some surfaces in high-use areas may need it more often — especially if they get wet or are used for food prep. Light-colored stones like marble and limestone may need extra attention.
We’ve helped families in Coral Canyon, vacation rentals near Zion, and businesses across St. George keep their stone protected year-round. A simple seal today can save you time and money later.

St. George homes deal with dry air, hard water, and dust — all of which can wear down sealer faster than in other places. At Sky’s Stone Care, we use sealers that work with our local conditions. We don’t overdo it — we use just what your stone needs, when it needs it.
If you’re not sure when your stone was last sealed, we can help you find out — and keep it protected going forward.
