Introducing TuffSkin: The Ultimate Surface Protection for Melbourne Properties
Tuffskin Benchtop Sealer is the latest innovation in benchtop sealing technology and is another option we offer at Clean Seal Australia.
This sealer is a surface film that, unlike liquid penetrating sealers, which only protect from staining, can protect from staining and etching.
Other benefits of Tuffskin Benchtop Sealing include:
- Effective film removal if it needs replacing or is no longer required without damaging the surface
- Two finishes available (Gloss or Matte), which enables the client to change their gloss surface to a matt appearance and vice versa if they want a change
- Made from technology designed to resist the daily wear associated with high-use surfaces
- Zero smell and easy to clean
- Heat and chemical resistant
In addition to the above benefits, TuffSkin has a manufacturer’s warranty when professionally installed!
Unsure which sealer method is best for you?
Take a look at the video to see Tuff Skin in action and how it can help protect your stone benchtops.
Using a Penetrating Sealer for Stone Benchtops
Our traditional method of sealing benchtops involves cleaning and preparing your surface (to suit your benchtop’s current state) and sealing with either a Natural Finish or Colour Enhancing Finish.
Penetrating sealers are liquid-based and work magic by soaking deep into the benchtop, filling the gaps in the stone’s pores. This is the most effective type of liquid benchtop sealer available and can protect natural travertine, onyx, marble, limestone, and granite surfaces from staining.
Using the highest quality products from Lithofin, our qualified benchtop sealing specialists will assess your benchtop and recommend one of the three available cleaning options.
1) Final cleaning
If your surface is new and is contaminated with dirt, cement film or epoxy resin film, we will prepare the surface accordingly to remove these contaminants.
2) Basic cleaning
For surfaces that have already been laid or are very old, they will most likely have grease contamination, surface dirt and layers of products that need to be removed.
3) Advanced cleaning
This method is used to remove specific stains and dirt from a surface. These may include cement particles, grease stains, and others.
Depending on your benchtop, a water- or solvent-based sealer will be chosen for your surface. Clients can choose a Natural Benchtop Sealer finish or a Colour Enhancing Benchtop Sealer finish.
A natural sealer is essentially invisible and will not alter the colour or surface finish of the stone, whilst a colour-enhancing sealer will deepen the stone’s colour.

Wow, what an outcome my crazy paving looks amazing, particularly the front of the house where the stone is 83 years old! A rare tradie experience where communication was as good as the outcome of the job. Aaron even came back a third time to ensure another coat wasn't required. Highly recommend.

vicky karras
Clean Seal cleaned our dirty pool sandstone paving and sealed the pavers they returned on request to ensure the job was completed properly. They have a professional understanding of this area of work and I would recommend them.
Peter Fonseca
Rare to find a company that offers such good customer service.. From initial contact to job completion, the whole process was was positive and efficient. The office staff were knowledgeable and answered all my questions comprehensively. There was a delay in sealing due to weather, something that is a hazard for this work.I was kept fully informed of rescheduling promptly and efficiently. Aaron completed the work on a Sunday, to ensure that the job was completed without further delay to me the customer. Aaron and his team need to be congratulated on their attention to detail and customer service. I have had this work done by other companies and none have delivered the results that clean seal have. Added bonus their price was competitive. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for paving cleaning and sealing. Thank you Clean Seal

I rang this company looking for advice on cleaning our sandstone/concrete capping on a retaining wall in our courtyard and spoke to Aaron who was extremely helpful in offering advice on how this can be done. Very professional and helpful.
Gloria Jackson
I was really impressed with the attention I received from Aaron and team. A detailed quote, after listening to what we wanted. Arrived when they said they would after SMSs in advance. The somewhat old and scratched marble kitchen I inherited when I moved in was transformed to looking like new.
Rob Layton

Jonathan Shaw
Had the guys wash & seal our pavers Professional & great work
Anthony Pinzone
Hi, these guys are the best! professional, very happy workers and absolutely focused on doing a good job. They cleaned and resealed tiles for us in 3 areas in two different houses and the tiles look brilliant. In one bathroom the tiles were a bit faded and we asked them if they would come back and give it another go - there was no questioning - they simply came back and did another clean and seal. they were a pleasure to have in our homes - I cannot recommend them highly enough - do not go past this company! John and Marion
John Daniliuc
Aaron and the boys did a great job of cleaning my stencilled concrete and exposed agg, it came up a treat and is now fully sealed against the black mould and moss I get every winter. Very good service, highly recommended.
Ken Briggs
Aaron and the team were fantastic. Highly professional and followed up all their work to make sure we were happy - which we very much are. The driveway and pavers look like new.
Darren McFarlane
Very skilled tradesman punctual and professional.
Matt Conti
Aaron was responsive, knowledgeable and professional. We had a difficult oil based stain to remove from pavers. Aaron asked all the right questions, and then decided to come after work on the same day I called him, as the treatment was time sensitive. Unbelievable dedication to customer service and his craft.
Greg B
My bluestone pavers had oil spilt on them and Aaron and the team were very helpful in getting them cleaned with the majority of the marks coming out. Aaron was very responsive and easy to deal with, would highly recommend him
Virginia Bacon
Clean seal came out to quote our bench top within 24 hours of us reaching out to them. Aaron was on time which was refreshing for a trades service. We were advised to go with a product called tuff skin for our marble bench top as we are looking to rent out our home in the near future and this would give us complete protection and a 5 year guarantee. Josh and Aaron came and did the installation within the week and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Can’t really notice that it’s there, but it really does the job especially after my wife and children have been spilling things on it all day and a simple wipe down has it looking good as new. Really appreciated all the work Josh and Aaron have done and would highly recommend tuff skin.
Josh Tennison
I had my kitchen bench top shined up and sealed by Joshua at Clean Seal and it looks absolutely amazing. I had a dull natural man made stone that always looked quite drab. It now looks like high quality polished stone! I am soooo happy! Aaron was my first point of call who explained their new sealant product to me and was very informative and helpful. Emm made all my bookings and was very efficient. Joshua performed the job and was a perfectionist, taped everything up beautifully and took his time to do a wonderful job. Would recommend them to anyone!
Kelly Jean
Outstanding service Thank you Richard and Arron for going above and beyond very happy with end result I highly recommend clean seal
Sophie Voglis
Aaron really knows his stuff. Had a problem with my driveway and he knew exactly what to do to fix it. Honest fair dinkum people like this are hard to find these days. Keep up the great service.
David Francis
We recently used Clean Seal Australian to clean the asphalt around our office which was recently renovated. There was a large amount of render and concrete left on the public asphalt which needed to be removed for council. Clean Seal Australia were fantastic to correspond with, and came to site very quickly, managing to remove all render from the asphalt. Thank you team, fantastic job. Highly recommended.
Lachlan McNeil
Friendly and professional service. Happy to go the extra mile for a great job.
Ruth Buckland
Aaron & his team at Clean Seal were absolutely fantastic to work with. Very professional from start to finish and best of all a good sense of humour. My new sealed natural pavers look like brand new. Thanks again Aaron & Team 🙂
