Marble Restoration

Etch marks, scratches and dull, worn spots removed with diamond honing and polishing.

Marble is beautiful, but it is a soft stone that reacts to acid. Lemon juice, wine, vinegar and the wrong cleaners leave dull etch marks, foot traffic wears paths into floors, and over time the shine fades. Most marble does not need to be replaced. It needs professional marble polishing and restoration.

Prestige Grout, Marble & Granite has been restoring marble floors, countertops, vanities, showers and fireplaces across Chicagoland for over 18 years. We use a true diamond refinishing process, never waxes or coatings, so the finish is the stone itself and it lasts.

Every job starts with a free estimate. Text us a few photos and we can usually tell you what your marble needs before we ever come out.

Etch Removal, Honing and Marble Polishing

We can restore your stone back to its original beauty using one or more of the following:
  • Etch and scratch removal: we hone out etch marks, dull spots and scratches with progressively finer diamonds, then bring the surface back to the finish you want.
  • Diamond polishing: no waxes or topical coatings that wear off and yellow. The shine comes from the stone itself.
  • Your choice of finish: honed, satin or a high polish.
  • Chips, cracks and stains: we fill chips and cracks with color-matched resins, and we draw out stains with the right chemicals and poultices.
  • Sealing: we finish with a quality impregnating sealer to help protect against staining.

Not sure which finish is right for you? Read our honing vs. polishing guide, or learn how etching is removed. For marble countertops, ask about MORE AntiEtch protection.

Marble Countertops and Vanities

Where marble gets the most daily wear

Kitchen counters and bathroom vanities take the most abuse. Lemon juice, wine, coffee, toothpaste and household cleaners all etch and dull marble, and the area around the sink usually wears first.

  • Etch and stain removal: we hone out etch marks and draw out stains, then polish the top back to an even finish.
  • Chips and seams: we repair chipped edges, chips around sinks and open seams with color-matched resin.
  • Sealing: every top gets a quality impregnating sealer.
  • Lasting protection: for kitchen countertops, MORE AntiEtch protects the marble from etching and staining, with a lifetime warranty.

Marble Showers and Floors

Showers and floors take the most water, soap and foot traffic

In showers, soap scum, hard water and the wrong cleaners dull and etch marble, and failing caulk lets mold into the corners. On floors, foot traffic wears dull paths and scratches into the stone.

  • Showers: we steam clean the walls and floor, remove soap scum and etching, pull out all the old caulk, seal the stone and recaulk every corner.
  • Floors: we diamond hone and polish out traffic paths, scratches and etching, and we detail the edges by hand.
  • Repairs: we repair or replace damaged tiles and fill holes and cracks.

Why Choose Prestige for Marble Work

18 years of marble restoration experience, with every edge detailed by hand.

Quick Look: Marble Floor Refinishing
  • True diamond refinishing, never waxes or coatings. We restore the stone itself mechanically with diamonds, so the shine is natural and lasts. Waxes and topical coatings just cover the problem and wear off.
  • Edges detailed by hand. Most companies skip the edges and corners because machines can’t reach them. We finish them by hand, so the whole floor matches, wall to wall.
  • Your choice of finish. Honed (matte), satin or high polish. We’ll show you the options and match the look you want.
  • Protection that lasts. For countertops we recommend MORE AntiEtch, which comes with a lifetime warranty against etching and staining. Floors and other areas are sealed after polishing.
