Your shower walls will actually shine again instead of looking cloudy and dull. Those etched spots from soap and shampoo? Gone. The grout lines that turned dark and moldy? Clean, sealed, and protected.
You’ll walk into your bathroom and kitchen without that nagging feeling that something looks off. The marble will reflect light the way it’s supposed to, making the whole space feel brighter and cleaner.
Most importantly, you’ll know the job was done right the first time. No more wondering if that DIY approach will hold up, or if you should have just called a professional from the start.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been tackling the toughest marble restoration projects since 1998. When the New York Times featured us in 2001, it was because we specialize in the jobs that make other contractors nervous.
You work directly with us, not some crew that shows up without knowing your specific situation. This matters when you’re dealing with marble that’s been damaged for years or historic installations that require specialized knowledge.
Huntington Station’s older homes often have marble that was installed decades ago using different techniques than today’s methods. We understand these older systems and know exactly how to restore them without creating new problems.
We start by figuring out what went wrong. Every marble wall tells a story through its damage patterns, and reading that story correctly determines whether the restoration succeeds or fails.
The deep cleaning phase removes years of buildup that regular cleaners can’t touch. We’re talking about mineral deposits from Long Island’s hard water, soap films, and embedded grime that makes marble look permanently dull.
Then comes the actual restoration work. We carefully remove damaged surface layers and re-polish the marble to match the surrounding areas. This isn’t a quick buffing job – it’s precision work that requires the right equipment and years of experience.
Finally, we protect everything we just restored. New grout where needed, professional-grade sealer, and proper caulking that will actually last. You get walls that look spectacular and stay that way.

Shower surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, bathroom accent walls, fireplace surrounds – we restore marble walls wherever they are in your home. Each location has different challenges, and we’ve seen them all.
Long Island’s water creates specific problems you won’t find everywhere. The mineral content here leaves deposits that require specialized removal techniques. Standard approaches either don’t work or damage the marble trying to remove stubborn buildup.
Historic homes in Huntington Station often have marble installations that are actually higher quality than what you can buy today. Instead of ripping out these valuable surfaces, we restore them to current performance standards while preserving their original character.
The key is understanding that marble wall restoration isn’t just about making things look better. It’s about fixing the underlying problems that caused the damage so you don’t end up back where you started in a few years.
Most projects take 1-3 days depending on the size and condition. A typical shower surround restoration is usually completed in one day, while larger projects like full bathroom wall restoration might take two days.
The timeline depends on what we find during our initial assessment. Simple polishing and sealing goes quickly, but if we need to repair damaged areas or replace grout, that adds time. We’ll give you an exact schedule during the free estimate.
Unlike DIY approaches that can drag on for weeks, we complete the job efficiently because we bring professional equipment and have refined our process over 25 years. You can continue using other areas of your home while we work.
Yes, etch damage from acidic cleaners is one of the most common problems we fix in Huntington Station homes. Many homeowners unknowingly use cleaners with vinegar, lemon, or other acids that chemically react with marble and leave dull, rough spots.
The repair involves carefully removing the damaged surface layer and re-polishing the marble to match the surrounding area. When done correctly, the repair is virtually invisible – you won’t be able to tell where the etching was located.
We also explain which common household products to avoid near marble surfaces and recommend pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for natural stone. This prevents future etching and keeps your restored walls looking perfect.
Professional restoration typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement, and that’s before you factor in demolition, disposal, and installation disruption costs. The savings are even greater when you consider the time and inconvenience involved.
Replacement also means losing original marble that’s often higher quality than what’s commonly available today. Historic installations in Long Island homes used premium materials that would be extremely expensive to replicate now.
Restoration preserves the existing layout and avoids weeks of construction mess. You get walls that look better than new without the dust, noise, and disruption that comes with full renovation projects.
Hard water deposits, soap scum buildup, and microscopic scratches from daily use are the main culprits. Long Island’s particularly hard water leaves mineral deposits that create a cloudy film over the marble surface, blocking its natural shine.
Soap and shampoo residues build up over time, especially in poorly ventilated areas. These residues attract dirt and create a dull film that regular cleaning can’t remove without proper techniques and stone-safe products.
Daily use creates tiny scratches from washcloths, loofahs, and even water droplets carrying abrasive particles. Over time, these microscopic scratches accumulate and scatter light instead of reflecting it, making the marble appear lifeless.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve worked on installations in homes dating back over 100 years throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Older marble often requires different techniques than modern installations.
Historic marble was installed with different materials and methods than what’s used today. We understand these older systems and know how to restore them without compromising their structural integrity or historical character.
The marble in older homes is often higher quality than modern alternatives, making restoration an excellent investment. These installations were built to last generations, and with proper restoration, they’ll continue serving your family for decades while maintaining their original elegance.
Prevention starts with proper sealing using professional-grade impregnating sealers that penetrate deep into the marble’s pores. Unlike store-bought topical sealers, our sealers don’t create a surface film that can wear off or trap moisture.
We provide detailed care instructions specific to your marble type and installation location. This includes recommending appropriate cleaning products, explaining proper techniques, and identifying potential problem areas to monitor.
Regular professional maintenance prevents major restoration needs down the road. Most clients find that investing in periodic re-sealing and professional cleaning every few years keeps their marble walls looking perfect and avoids costly restoration projects.
