Walk into your shower and see walls that actually sparkle. No more soap scum. No more dull, chalky spots where the marble used to shine.
Your kitchen backsplash marble catches the light like it did when new. Water rolls right off instead of leaving those stubborn mineral deposits that make everything look dirty.
You stop making excuses about your bathroom to guests. The marble walls have that deep, mirror-like finish that makes people ask who did the work. That’s what happens when someone actually knows how to restore marble instead of just cleaning it.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring Islip’s marble since 1998. We specialize in the projects other contractors won’t touch – historic floors, complex materials, and marble that’s been damaged by previous “restoration” attempts.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the craftsman doing the work. No subcontractors learning on your marble. No miscommunication between sales and service.
We were featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise. In Islip’s older homes with original marble installations, that level of skill makes the difference between restoration and replacement.
First comes the real assessment. Your marble’s problems aren’t solved by steam cleaning – they’re caused by it. Our professional evaluation identifies what can be restored and what needs repair.
Our restoration process uses diamond abrasives and specialized compounds to remove damage layer by layer. Etch marks disappear. Scratches vanish. The marble’s original finish comes back.
Final step is professional sealing that protects against Islip’s hard water and daily use. The whole process takes 1-2 days with dustless techniques. You get your bathroom back better than new, and cleanup is included.

Complete shower wall restoration tackles the problems steam cleaning creates. Hard water deposits, soap scum buildup, and mineral stains require specialized marble-safe products and professional techniques.
Long Island’s hard water is brutal on marble. The minerals build up in the stone’s pores and create that dull, chalky appearance that no amount of scrubbing will fix. Our professional restoration removes these deposits without damaging the marble surface.
Our service includes etch removal, scratch repair, diamond polishing, and protective sealing. For shower walls, that also means addressing grout problems and ensuring proper water resistance. You get marble that stays beautiful, not just temporarily clean marble that shows the same problems next month.
Steam cleaning causes thermal expansion and contraction in marble, creating internal stress that leads to cracks, spalling, and surface damage. The high heat builds pressure within the stone’s pores, causing pitting and flaking.
Steam cleaning also drives contaminants deeper into the marble instead of removing them. Hard water minerals, soap residue, and other deposits get pushed into the stone’s pores where they cause permanent staining and damage.
Professional restoration removes these contaminants safely using marble-specific techniques. Instead of damaging your marble further, proper restoration actually improves the surface condition and protects against future problems.
Hard water removal requires pH-neutral, marble-safe products combined with mechanical restoration techniques. Most cleaners strong enough to remove mineral deposits will etch marble surfaces permanently.
Our professional approach uses diamond polishing compounds and specialized tools to mechanically remove deposits while improving the marble’s finish. This removes even stubborn buildup without chemical damage to the stone.
Islip’s particularly hard water makes this expertise essential. Our restoration process also includes sealing that helps prevent future mineral buildup, giving you marble that stays cleaner longer and resists water damage.
Most damage from improper cleaning attempts can be reversed through professional restoration. This includes etch marks from acidic cleaners, scratches from abrasive scrubbing, and dullness from harsh chemicals.
Our restoration process systematically removes damaged surface layers through controlled grinding, honing, and polishing. This reveals the undamaged marble underneath and rebuilds the original finish.
Even severe damage from cleaning company mistakes can usually be repaired, though it requires more extensive work. The key is having the proper equipment and expertise to restore the marble’s structure and finish without causing additional damage.
Most marble shower wall restoration projects take 1-2 days depending on the area size and damage extent. We use dustless techniques to minimize disruption to your Islip home.
Day one typically covers assessment, deep cleaning, and major restoration work like etch removal and scratch repair. Day two focuses on final polishing, protective sealing, and any necessary grout or caulk work.
You can usually use your shower within 24 hours of completion, though sealers continue curing for several days. Our process includes complete cleanup – no dust, debris, or mess left behind.
Cleaning only removes surface dirt and grime. Restoration repairs damage to the marble itself – etch marks, scratches, dullness, and staining that cleaning can’t fix.
Many companies offer “marble restoration” but only provide aggressive cleaning that can damage the stone. True restoration uses specialized equipment to remove damaged surface layers and rebuild the marble’s original finish.
Professional restoration includes protective sealing that prevents future damage. The result is marble that looks and performs like new, not just temporarily clean marble that will show the same problems again within weeks.
All our restoration work comes with a complete satisfaction guarantee, and our sealers carry up to a one-year warranty. Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the craftsman responsible for results.
Our guarantee covers the restoration work itself – removing etch marks, scratches, and stains, and achieving the agreed-upon finish. The sealer warranty protects against premature failure under normal use conditions.
With over 25 years of experience and New York Times recognition for our restoration expertise, we focus on getting it right the first time. Free estimates ensure you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
