Marble restoration typically costs 70-80% less than replacement. While new marble installation for a shower or backsplash can run $8,000-$15,000 or more, professional restoration usually ranges from $1,500-$4,000 depending on the scope of work.
The cost savings become even more significant when you consider the disruption and additional expenses of replacement – demolition, disposal, potential plumbing or electrical work, and the time your space is unusable.
Restoration also preserves the original marble, which is often higher quality than what’s available today. Many North Great River homes have marble that would be extremely expensive to replicate, making restoration not just more affordable but actually superior to replacement.
