Refurbish concrete counters

[Lollipop]

Does anyone know someone who can refurbish concrete counters? They were installed by a cowboy builder and were not polished - I am wondering if someone knows how to make them look like they should.

There is a thread about the cowboy builder elsewhere on the forum... and a TV show that gets repeated every so often.

Hi lollipop,

I fitted a kitchen in Beckanham recently with concrete worktops, https://www.facebook.com/pages/JT-Enterprises-Removals/428540347197644 and a concrete worktop looks lovely.

You have to make sure the concrete is set at 3-4 days but it takes up to another 28 days to harden completely. If you try to polish too soon it won?t be hard enough to get that high glass like sheen you?re after. What you can do though is smooth anything out at this stage, any rough marks or areas that you?re not happy with, polish wet with your diamond polishing pads from 50 grit up to 200. At this stage it?s not worth going any higher in number than that, you?ll need to wait a few weeks until the concrete cures hard to get the polish.

S don;t rush.
