You walk into your bathroom and see marble that looks like installation day. No water spots. No soap buildup. No dull patches where harsh cleaners damaged the surface.
That’s what proper marble wall restoration delivers. Your shower walls shine uniformly. Your backsplash marble reflects light correctly. Every surface feels smooth and looks flawless.
The difference shows immediately and lasts. Your home’s value stays protected. Guests notice the quality. You feel confident about your space instead of making excuses for how it looks.
We’ve specialized in Manhasset’s historic properties since 1998. We know these pre-war homes—the Tudor and Colonial houses from the 1920s and 1930s that give this community its character.
The New York Times featured our work in 2001 because we’d already proven ourselves on the most challenging restoration projects. Historic floors, complex materials, surfaces other companies won’t touch—that’s where we excel.
You work directly with the owner on every project. No subcontractors. No miscommunication. Just decades of expertise applied to your specific restoration needs.
We start with a complete assessment of your marble surfaces. Shower walls face different challenges than floors or backsplashes. Each area gets evaluated for the specific restoration approach it needs.
The steam cleaning happens at precisely controlled temperatures using equipment designed for natural stone. We remove mineral deposits, soap scum, and buildup that regular cleaning can’t touch—without the thermal damage that destroys marble.
Protection comes last. Proper sealing with the right products. Clear maintenance guidance. You’ll know exactly how to preserve the restoration between our professional visits.
Ready to get started?
Your service covers every marble surface that needs attention—shower walls, floors, backsplash marble, vanity tops. We handle the complete restoration, not just spot cleaning.
This matters especially in Manhasset’s historic homes where original marble installations require specialized care. These pre-1940s surfaces use materials and techniques different from modern work. We understand the original craftsmanship and restore accordingly.
Concrete restoration and polishing are included when needed. Many historic Manhasset properties mix materials, and we coordinate the entire project. One team, consistent quality standards, everything properly matched.
Steam cleaning is safe for marble when done by professionals with proper equipment and stone-specific techniques. The danger comes from incorrect temperatures and methods used by generic cleaning services.
Most residential steam cleaners and non-specialist companies use temperatures that cause thermal expansion in marble. This leads to cracking, surface damage, and permanent etching. We use commercial equipment calibrated specifically for natural stone restoration.
Our process removes years of buildup without thermal shock. We understand marble’s properties and adjust our methods accordingly. The biggest risk comes from DIY attempts or hiring companies that don’t specialize in stone restoration.
In Manhasset’s hard water conditions, marble shower walls typically need professional attention every 6-12 months. Daily use bathrooms require more frequent care than guest facilities.
The timeline depends on water hardness, soap types, ventilation quality, and daily maintenance habits. Manhasset’s mineral-heavy water creates buildup faster than many areas, accelerating the need for professional intervention.
We recommend scheduling before obvious problems appear. Once deep etching or permanent staining develops, you need full restoration instead of maintenance cleaning—a more complex and expensive process. Regular professional care prevents major problems and saves money long-term.
Yes, we regularly restore marble damaged by improper cleaning products. Most bathroom cleaners are too acidic for marble and cause permanent etching, but professional restoration can reverse this damage.
The process involves removing the damaged surface layer through controlled honing, then re-polishing to match the original finish. Severe damage might require complete surface refinishing, but we’ve restored marble that homeowners thought was permanently ruined.
Speed matters with cleaner damage. Fresh etch marks repair more easily than damage that’s been there for months. If you’ve used the wrong product, don’t attempt additional cleaning—this usually makes the damage worse and more expensive to fix.
Cleaning removes surface buildup. Marble wall repair actually fixes damage and restores the original surface condition. Most problems in Manhasset’s historic homes require repair, not just cleaning.
Basic cleaning handles soap scum, water spots, and daily grime. But dull spots, etching, scratches, or permanent stains need repair work. We’re essentially rebuilding the marble’s surface finish to factory specifications.
Think of it like car maintenance versus bodywork. Both are necessary, but they solve different problems. Most homeowners call thinking they need cleaning, but assessment usually reveals that proper restoration is what’s actually needed for lasting results.
Most bathroom marble restoration projects take 1-2 days, depending on size and damage severity. We work efficiently without compromising quality. You can typically use your bathroom the day after completion.
Timeline varies based on scope: just shower walls versus complete bathroom marble restoration including floors and vanity surfaces. Severe damage from years of improper care takes longer than routine restoration maintenance.
We use dustless techniques and contain work areas to minimize disruption. Most clients are surprised how clean we keep the rest of the house. This isn’t demolition work—we’re restoring existing surfaces to their original condition.
Historic marble restoration is our primary specialty. Manhasset’s pre-war homes often feature unique installations that require specialized knowledge of vintage materials and period techniques.
These older installations use different stone types, setting methods, and finishing techniques than modern work. The marble itself might come from quarries no longer in operation. We understand these distinctions and preserve the original character.
We’ve restored marble in some of Manhasset’s most significant historic properties. The New York Times featured our work specifically because of our expertise with irreplaceable, challenging restoration projects. When you have something this valuable, you need specialists who understand its historical significance.
