Accidents happen and marble can experience problems with wear, etching, improper cleaning agents, scratches, or loss of shine. Restoring marble regardless of floor, vanity's, shower etc. may require a "3 phase procedure" to effectively restore the surface. The 3 phases are grinding, honing & polishing. This procedure is guaranteed to remove etching, deep scratches, excessive wear and dulling. Tiles with "high edges" or lippage, may need to be ground down before being polished to its intended finish. We use species specific sealers to enhance & bring out every detail in the marble. Projects requiring chip & crack repair we use a variety of adhesives and filling additives to fill and fix and type of damage to the marble.
