Your marble walls and shower surfaces look like they did when first installed. No more cloudy buildup that makes everything look dirty no matter how much you scrub.
Our controlled steam cleaning process removes embedded soap scum and hard water deposits that regular cleaners can’t touch. Your marble comes back with its natural shine restored, properly sealed against coastal humidity.
You get a bathroom that actually feels clean again, with stone surfaces that stay that way longer. Not just superficial cleaning, but genuine restoration that protects your investment.
We’ve been restoring marble in Flanders, NY and throughout Long Island for over 25 years. We’re the company that specializes in the jobs other contractors won’t touch.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the craftsman handling your project. No subcontractors, no miscommunication, no compromised quality.
The Garden City Hotel has used our services exclusively for 16 years. When a luxury property trusts you with their reputation year after year, that tells you something about the results we deliver.
We start by identifying exactly what’s wrong with your marble – soap scum, mineral deposits, etching from harsh cleaners, or damage from improper steam cleaning attempts. Each problem requires a different approach.
Our steam cleaning uses carefully controlled temperatures that break down buildup without thermal shock to your stone. We’re not using consumer-grade equipment that can crack marble with excessive heat.
After cleaning, we restore any surface damage we’ve uncovered, then seal your marble properly for Flanders’ coastal humidity. You’re left with stone that’s protected against the specific conditions that caused problems in the first place.

Your steam cleaning service includes assessment of marble condition, safe removal of soap scum and mineral buildup, and restoration of any etching or surface damage. We handle shower walls, backsplashes, and marble surfaces compromised by water exposure.
Living in Flanders means dealing with coastal humidity that affects marble differently than inland locations. Your stone absorbs moisture and develops problems specific to this environment, and our methods account for those local conditions.
Every project includes proper sealing against future damage, complete cleanup, and care instructions specific to your restored surfaces. No dust, no extended downtime, no guesswork about maintenance.
Steam cleaning is safe for marble when done with proper equipment and technique, but dangerous with consumer-grade steamers. Most home steam cleaners reach temperatures over 250°F, which causes thermal expansion and potential cracking in natural stone.
Our professional system uses controlled temperatures specifically calibrated for marble restoration. We’re breaking down soap scum and mineral deposits with the minimum heat necessary, not blasting your walls with superheated steam that shocks the stone.
The difference is understanding marble’s calcium carbonate composition, which reacts to both excessive heat and harsh chemicals. We use the right temperature combined with marble-safe cleaning agents that do the work without thermal damage.
Regular bathroom cleaners strong enough to remove soap scum are usually too acidic for marble. They’ll clean the buildup but etch your stone, leaving dull spots that look worse than the original problem.
Our steam cleaning process softens soap scum with controlled heat, then uses pH-neutral cleaners that won’t damage natural stone. The steam penetrates through layers of soap residue and mineral deposits, breaking the bond without aggressive scrubbing.
For heavy buildup, we may need light honing to remove existing etching, then polish the surface back to its original finish. You end up with marble that’s genuinely restored, not just temporarily clean.
Hard water stains on marble aren’t just surface deposits – they’re minerals that have bonded with and penetrated the stone. Regular cleaners can’t remove them because they’re embedded in the marble’s porous structure.
Steam cleaning opens the stone’s pores, allowing extraction of trapped minerals. We follow with specialized restoration compounds that dissolve mineral deposits without etching the surrounding marble.
In Flanders, local water conditions create persistent mineral buildup. We address both surface stains and underlying penetration, preventing the problem from returning within weeks like surface-only cleaning methods.
Most marble steam cleaning projects take 4-6 hours depending on shower size and buildup severity. We work efficiently without rushing the restoration process that ensures lasting results.
You can typically use your shower the same day, usually within 2-3 hours after completion. Our sealing products cure quickly, so you’re not waiting days to get your bathroom back.
Timeline extends if we discover damage requiring repair – cracked grout, loose tiles, or marble needing honing and polishing. We identify these issues upfront and provide options for immediate fixes versus comprehensive restoration.
We guarantee our workmanship and stand behind restoration quality. If soap scum or mineral deposits return within 30 days, we’ll address the issue at no charge.
We can’t guarantee protection against future damage from improper cleaning products or maintenance. Marble requires specific care, and wrong cleaners will quickly undo professional restoration.
We provide detailed care instructions and maintenance schedules based on your usage patterns. Proper maintenance extends results for years. The key is understanding which products are safe for your newly restored marble.
Replacement costs 3-5 times more than professional restoration, and you lose the character of established marble. Plus, if underlying damage causes aren’t addressed, new marble develops the same problems.
Restoration fixes visible damage and the conditions that caused it. We can improve sealing, address drainage issues, and solve water penetration problems that replacement alone won’t resolve.
Many clients have decades-old marble with character and patina impossible to replicate. Proper restoration brings back original beauty while adding modern protection unavailable when the stone was first installed.
