Our Marble Polishing and Restoration Services
Professional Marble Floor Polishing
We use diamond-grade equipment to systematically grind, hone, and polish marble floors, eliminating scratches, etching, water stains, and surface dullness. This multi-step process rebuilds the mirror-like finish that makes marble flooring stunning.
Our polishing methods are customized to your specific marble type and current condition. Whether dealing with Carrara, Calacatta, or other marble varieties, we adjust our techniques to ensure consistent results across your entire floor surface.
Marble Floor Crack and Chip Repair
Floor cracks and chips create safety hazards while detracting from marble's elegant appearance. We repair these issues using specialized stone fillers and epoxy compounds that bond permanently while matching your marble's unique color patterns and veining.
Our floor repair process includes thorough surface preparation to clean and smooth damaged edges, ensuring durable, nearly invisible fixes that withstand foot traffic. Once cured, all repairs are polished to match the surrounding floor surface perfectly.
Complete Marble Floor Restoration
When marble floors suffer damage beyond surface wear, we provide full restoration services including repair of deep scratches, cracks, chips, and discoloration that can develop over time from heavy use or improper maintenance.
Floor restoration involves carefully filling damaged areas with color-matched materials and refining the entire surface to blend repairs seamlessly. Our craftsmen excel at precise color matching and texture replication for natural-looking results across large floor areas.
Marble Floor Sealing and Protection
Floor sealing creates an invisible protective barrier against stains, moisture penetration, and daily wear that naturally occurs with foot traffic. We apply premium penetrating sealants specifically formulated for marble floors that enhance durability without altering the stone's natural appearance.
Our floor sealing process involves deep cleaning, complete drying, and methodical application to ensure uniform coverage across your entire marble floor surface. We also provide ongoing maintenance guidance to maximize seal effectiveness and floor longevity.
Our Marble Polishing and Restoration Process
We begin by comprehensively evaluating your marble floors to identify damage patterns, stain penetration, and wear areas. From there, we systematically prepare and treat your flooring to restore its original luster and structural integrity.
1. Floor Assessment and Preparation
Our process starts with detailed inspection of your marble flooring throughout the affected areas. We examine for cracks, acid etching, scratches, water stains, lippage issues, and previous repairs that may impact the restoration approach. This floor assessment helps us develop a customized restoration plan for your specific
marble type and current condition.
Before any treatment begins, we thoroughly clean the floor surface to remove embedded dirt, oils, soap residue, and grime that can interfere with restoration. We also protect adjacent surfaces, furniture, and walls to prevent dust and debris from spreading throughout your home during the floor refinishing process.
2. Floor Honing and Grinding
Floor honing removes surface imperfections and scratches without compromising the marble's structural integrity. We use diamond-embedded abrasives with progressively finer grits to grind the floor surface evenly,
ensuring consistent results across large areas while eliminating deep scratches and etching.
For heavily damaged marble floors, grinding levels uneven spots, removes significant wear patterns, and addresses lippage between tiles. This controlled abrasion restores proper floor flatness and structural stability essential for both safety and aesthetics in your flooring investment.
3. Premium Floor Polishing
Floor polishing brings out marble's natural depth and mirror-like reflectivity across your entire flooring surface. We use specialized buffing equipment and marble-specific polishing compounds to achieve brilliant shine without surface compromise, ensuring uniform results throughout your space.
Our systematic polishing technique enhances the stone's light-reflecting qualities, creating visually stunning floors that dramatically improve your room's overall appearance. The controlled process also strengthens the marble's resistance to future dulling and everyday foot traffic wear.
4. Final Floor Sealing and Cleanup
After polishing completion, we apply premium penetrating floor sealant specifically formulated for marble surfaces. This protection creates an invisible barrier against stains, moisture infiltration, and acid etching while maintaining the stone's natural breathability and appearance.
Finally, we conduct thorough cleanup to remove all restoration residue and debris from your floors and surrounding areas. Your marble floors are left pristine, fully restored, and immediately ready for normal use and enjoyment.

Marble Polishing and Restoration FAQs
How much does marble polishing cost?
Marble polishing typically costs $3-7 per square foot depending on the marble's condition and size of the area. Basic polishing for floors in good condition starts around $3-4 per square foot, while heavily damaged marble requiring restoration can reach $6-7 per square foot. Countertops and smaller areas may have higher per-square-foot rates due to detailed work required. We provide free assessments to give you accurate pricing based on your marble's specific needs.
How long does marble restoration take?
Most marble restoration projects take 1-3 days depending on the area size and damage severity. Simple polishing of average-sized floors typically takes one day, while extensive restoration involving grinding, honing, and polishing can take 2-3 days. Countertops usually take 4-6 hours for standard polishing.
Can you restore etched marble floors?
Yes, etched marble floors can be restored through professional grinding, honing, and polishing processes. Etching from acidic spills creates dull spots that require removing the damaged surface layer and rebuilding the shine. Minor etching can often be repaired with honing compounds, while severe etching needs diamond grinding followed by progressive polishing steps to restore the original luster.
Can you remove water stains from marble?
Yes, most water stains can be removed from marble through professional restoration techniques. Surface water spots often come out with proper polishing compounds, while deeper mineral deposits may require honing or light grinding. Hard water stains that have penetrated the marble need more intensive restoration, but we can typically restore the marble to its original appearance.
How often should marble be professionally polished?
Marble should be professionally polished every 1-3 years depending on foot traffic and usage. High-traffic areas like entryways and kitchens may need annual polishing, while low-traffic areas can go 2-3 years between services. Bathrooms and areas exposed to moisture may need more frequent attention. Regular maintenance polishing helps prevent deep damage and extends your marble's lifespan.
