Common Marble Issues
- Etching:
Acids from everyday items such as lemon juice, vinegar, or acidic cleaners can dull marble’s surface, leaving etched marks behind. - Stains & Discoloration:
Marble is porous, making it susceptible to stains from red wine, coffee, and other liquids that penetrate below the surface. - Scratches & Wear:
Heavy foot traffic, moving furniture, and regular use can leave scratches and scuffs on marble floors and countertops. - Chips & Cracks:
Impact damage or structural stress may cause chips or cracks, detracting from marble’s otherwise flawless finish. - Dullness:
Over time, daily wear and improper cleaning routines can rob marble of its natural shine, leaving a dull or uneven surface.
Our Marble Restoration Process
- Inspection & Assessment:
Our team examines your marble surfaces to identify specific issues—like scratches, stains, or structural damage—and determines the most effective restoration method. - Deep Cleaning & Stain Removal:
We use specialized, pH-neutral solutions to remove embedded dirt and stains without harming the delicate stone. - Honing & Polishing:
Through a series of gradual polishing steps, we eliminate etch marks, scratches, and dull spots, restoring marble’s vibrant shine. Honing can also create a more matte finish if you prefer a softer look. - Repairs & Filling:
For chips or cracks, we apply color-matched fillers and adhesives to seamlessly blend the damaged areas with the surrounding marble. - Sealing & Protection:
A high-quality sealer adds a protective layer against future staining and etching. We’ll recommend an appropriate sealant based on the marble’s porosity and your usage requirements.
