You’ll walk into your bathroom or kitchen and actually stop to admire what used to be a constant source of frustration. No more staring at dull, streaky walls wondering if you should just rip them out and start over.
Your marble will have that deep, rich finish it had when first installed. The kind of shine that catches light beautifully and makes guests ask who did the work. Every water spot, soap scum buildup, and etch mark will be gone.
Best part? You’ll have saved thousands compared to replacement while getting results that last for years, not months.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring marble walls in Salisbury’s historic homes since 1998. We’re the company that gets excited about the challenging projects – the 100-year-old marble that other contractors walk away from.
Featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, we understand that Salisbury’s well-established homes from the 1940s-1960s require a different approach than cookie-cutter suburban work. Your marble walls have character and history that deserve respect.
When you call us, you’re talking directly to the owner-operator. No sales teams or subcontractors. Just honest assessment and transparent pricing from someone who’s been perfecting this craft for over two decades.
First, we evaluate your marble walls to understand what we’re working with. Not all marble damage is the same, and historic materials often need specialized approaches that preserve their original character.
We start with careful cleaning to remove years of buildup without damaging the stone. Then comes the restoration work – grinding out scratches and etch marks, honing the surface to the right texture, and polishing to bring back that original luster.
For shower walls, we pay special attention to grout lines and caulking, replacing what’s failed and sealing everything properly to prevent future water damage. The whole process typically takes 1-2 days, and you can use your space the next day. No weeks of disruption or living in a construction zone.

Your marble wall restoration covers everything needed to bring those surfaces back to life. We handle the grinding, honing, and polishing to remove scratches, etch marks, and dullness. All soap scum, hard water deposits, and staining get addressed.
For shower walls specifically, we re-grout and re-caulk as needed, repair any chips or cracks, and apply professional-grade sealing to protect against future damage. This isn’t just cosmetic work – we’re solving the underlying issues that caused the problems in the first place.
Salisbury homeowners appreciate that we understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s hard water and humid conditions. Your restoration is designed to handle what this climate throws at it, not just look good for a few months.
Most marble wall restoration projects in Salisbury take 1-2 days to complete. Shower walls typically require two days due to the detailed grout and caulking work involved.
The timeline depends on the size of the area and extent of damage. A single bathroom wall might be finished in one day, while a full shower enclosure with multiple walls needs the extra time. We work efficiently but never rush the process.
You can usually start using your bathroom the day after we finish. We’ll give you specific timing when we evaluate your project, so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, we regularly restore marble walls damaged by inappropriate cleaning products. This is actually one of the most common problems we see in Salisbury homes.
Harsh bathroom cleaners, bleach, and acidic products can etch marble surfaces, leaving them dull and damaged. The good news is this damage is usually in the top layer of the stone and can be ground out and re-polished.
We start by assessing how deep the damage goes, then use diamond grinding pads to remove the affected surface layer. After that, we hone and polish the marble back to its original finish. The walls end up looking better than they have in years.
Regular cleaning only addresses surface dirt and grime. Restoration actually repairs the marble itself – removing scratches, etching, and damage that cleaning can’t touch.
When marble walls look dull or have white spots and streaks, that’s usually permanent damage to the stone surface. No amount of cleaning will fix that. Restoration involves grinding, honing, and polishing with specialized diamond equipment to create a new surface.
We also address structural issues like failed grout and caulking that allow water damage to continue. It’s the difference between making something look temporarily better versus actually fixing the underlying problems.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve been working on Salisbury’s older homes since 1998 and understand the unique challenges these materials present.
Older marble often has different characteristics than modern stone. The quarrying methods, finishing techniques, and installation approaches were different decades ago. We adjust our restoration methods to respect these differences while achieving excellent results.
Many of Salisbury’s homes from the 1940s-1960s have beautiful original marble that just needs proper restoration to shine again. We take pride in preserving that craftsmanship rather than suggesting replacement.
Prevention starts with proper sealing using professional-grade products designed for your specific type of marble. We apply sealers that penetrate the stone and create a protective barrier against stains and etching.
We also address the root causes of damage – replacing failed grout and caulking that allows water penetration, and educating homeowners about proper maintenance. Simple things like using pH-neutral cleaners and wiping down shower walls after use make a huge difference.
For Salisbury’s hard water conditions, we sometimes recommend more frequent resealing schedules. We’ll give you specific maintenance guidelines based on your marble type and usage patterns.
Marble wall restoration typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement, and that’s before considering the disruption and additional costs of replacement projects.
Replacement means demolition, disposal, new materials, installation, and often plumbing modifications. You’re looking at weeks of work and significant mess. Restoration gives you better-than-new results in 1-2 days with minimal disruption.
For historic marble in Salisbury homes, restoration often produces superior results to replacement since you’re preserving the original craftsmanship and materials. Modern marble rarely matches the quality and character of what was installed decades ago.
