Your marble shower walls and backsplashes face constant attack from hard water minerals, soap scum, and cleaning products that weren’t designed for natural stone. Most homeowners don’t realize that steam cleaning can cause permanent damage through thermal expansion and pressure buildup that creates pitting and flaking.
Professional marble restoration gives you surfaces that look like installation day. No more dull spots from acidic cleaners. No more stubborn white mineral buildup that regular cleaning can’t touch. Just restored marble that enhances your Westhampton home’s value.
The difference is in the method. We use specialized stone-safe techniques that clean deep without the thermal stress and pressure that steam creates in porous marble.
We’ve served Westhampton and Long Island since 1998, specializing in historic and luxury marble installations. Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with experienced craftsmen who understand the value of your investment.
We’ve earned New York Times recognition for our restoration expertise and built our reputation on challenging projects other companies avoid. In Westhampton’s luxury market where homes average over $2 million, precision isn’t negotiable.
Your marble surfaces represent a significant investment. We protect and restore that investment with methods proven safe for even century-old installations.
We begin with detailed assessment of your marble walls, shower surfaces, and backsplashes to identify specific issues – hard water buildup, soap scum, etching from improper cleaners, or surface scratches that develop over time.
Our restoration uses specialized stone-safe compounds and techniques designed specifically for marble’s unique properties. No steam that causes thermal stress. No harsh chemicals that etch surfaces. No pressure that damages the stone’s internal structure.
The process includes precision honing and polishing to eliminate surface damage and restore the original finish. Most projects complete in 1-2 days with surfaces ready for use the following day. We finish with professional-grade sealing that protects against future damage and simplifies ongoing maintenance.

Our marble restoration addresses the full range of surfaces in Westhampton homes – shower walls, backsplashes, vanity tops, and flooring. We specifically understand Long Island’s hard water challenges and those persistent white mineral deposits that resist conventional cleaning.
Westhampton’s coastal environment creates unique challenges for marble. Salt air and humidity accelerate certain types of damage while hard water deposits build faster than in other areas. We adjust our restoration approach for these local conditions.
Whether you’re dealing with etching from cleaning products, scratches from daily use, or the gradual dulling that develops over time, we restore original beauty. Our maintenance programs keep marble in wet areas properly protected – essential every 6-12 months to prevent damage and maintain the property value increase that proper marble care provides.
Yes, steam cleaning causes serious damage to marble through thermal expansion and contraction that creates internal stress and surface cracks. The high-pressure steam can cause spalling where pieces of marble surface pit or flake away.
Steam cleaning also risks permanent staining if your marble contains iron, which oxidizes under heat and moisture to create rust-like discoloration that’s often impossible to remove. Even residential steam cleaners operating at lower temperatures can cause cumulative damage with repeated use. Professional marble restoration uses methods specifically designed for natural stone’s delicate properties.
Hard water stains require a specialized approach because standard bathroom cleaners are acidic and will etch marble surfaces permanently. We use pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaning compounds combined with precision diamond polishing techniques to safely dissolve and remove mineral deposits.
These white spots aren’t just surface stains – they’re mineral deposits drawn up through marble’s porous structure from underlying adhesives or concrete. Our process addresses surface buildup and prevents future occurrences through proper sealing. This removes stains completely without the surface damage that harsh chemicals inevitably cause.
Most marble wall and shower restoration projects require 1-2 days depending on surface area and damage extent. We work efficiently while maintaining the precision that Westhampton’s luxury homes demand.
Our process includes thorough assessment, safe cleaning, restoration, and protective sealing. We use dustless techniques and protect surrounding areas to minimize disruption. Your shower is typically ready for normal use the day after completion. We provide clear timelines upfront and work around your schedule whenever possible.
Regular cleaning services often use products and methods that gradually damage marble. Many use acidic cleaners or steam equipment that etches surfaces or causes thermal damage to the stone’s structure.
Marble restoration requires specialized knowledge of stone composition and proper techniques for different damage types. We don’t just clean surfaces – we restore marble’s original condition through controlled honing, precision polishing, and professional sealing. This expertise is crucial for valuable installations in Westhampton’s luxury market where improper cleaning can require thousands in repairs.
Marble in wet environments needs professional maintenance every 6-12 months. This frequency is critical because marble’s porous nature allows microorganisms to establish colonies in microscopic crevices, potentially affecting both stone integrity and indoor air quality.
Regular professional maintenance prevents minor issues from becoming major restoration projects. In Westhampton’s coastal environment with hard water, this schedule becomes even more important for preserving your investment. We offer maintenance programs that keep marble looking exceptional while protecting long-term value.
Most steam cleaning damage can be repaired through professional restoration techniques. Surface pitting, thermal cracks, and spalling often respond well to controlled honing and refinishing processes, though repair extent depends on damage severity and duration.
We assess each situation individually and provide honest recommendations about restoration versus replacement options. Our experience with historic installations means we often save marble that other companies recommend replacing. However, prevention through proper care methods is always preferable to repair after damage occurs.
