You’ll walk into your bathroom or kitchen and see walls that reflect light the way marble is supposed to—crisp, clear, and elegant. The grout lines will be perfectly uniform, the caulking fresh and clean, without a trace of mold or discoloration.
Most importantly, your restored marble walls will be properly sealed against Babylon’s humid climate and hard water. You’re not just getting a cosmetic fix—you’re getting protection that preserves your investment for years to come.

Everything is done on-site with dust-free equipment that won’t disrupt your daily routine.
The final step involves polishing to your desired finish and sealing with commercial-grade products that protect against Babylon’s hard water and humid conditions. We handle all the re-grouting and re-caulking, leaving you with walls that look better than when they were first installed. Most projects are completed in 1-3 days, and we work around your schedule.

Our marble wall restoration covers everything from shower wall restoration to backsplash marble repair and decorative wall panels throughout your Babylon home. We understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s hard water and humid climate create for marble surfaces.
In Babylon’s historic homes, we often encounter marble that’s been damaged by decades of improper cleaning, settling, and exposure to acidic substances. We know how to work with vintage installations while bringing them up to modern performance standards—preserving the character while eliminating the problems.
For newer installations, we focus on correcting etching damage, removing soap scum buildup, and addressing the mold and mildew issues common in our area. Every restoration includes professional sealing specifically chosen for Long Island conditions, plus our expertise in working with the architectural styles that make Babylon homes unique.
Yes, and this is exactly the kind of challenging restoration work we specialize in. Etched marble walls can be completely restored using diamond grinding and polishing techniques that remove the damaged surface layer while preserving the original marble.
The process depends on how deep the etching goes. Surface etching from bathroom cleaners or hard water usually requires light grinding followed by progressive polishing through multiple grit levels. Deeper etching needs more aggressive grinding, but we can still achieve a finish that’s often better than the original.
Once we’ve eliminated the etching, we polish the marble back to its original luster and apply penetrating sealers that help prevent future acid damage. The result is marble that looks and performs like new, at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Absolutely, and this is one of our most common projects in Babylon homes. Marble shower walls affected by mold and water damage require specialized restoration that goes far beyond surface cleaning.
We completely remove old caulking and grout, then use professional stone cleaners that eliminate mold without damaging the marble surface. If water has caused erosion or structural damage, we drill out affected areas and rebuild them with color-matched materials that blend invisibly with the original stone.
The restoration includes re-grouting with mold-resistant products, fresh caulking with antimicrobial properties, and sealing with waterproof systems designed for Long Island’s humid conditions. This creates a barrier that prevents future mold growth and water penetration, solving the problem at its source.
Professional marble restoration actually repairs damage to the stone surface, while cleaning only removes surface dirt and buildup. Many cleaning companies use products that can actually make marble problems worse over time.
Cleaning can’t fix etching, scratches, or worn areas—these require mechanical restoration using diamond grinding and polishing equipment. We remove the damaged surface layer and restore the marble’s original finish, something that’s impossible with cleaning alone.
Restoration also includes proper sealing, which most cleaning services don’t provide. Without sealing, even perfectly cleaned marble will quickly become stained and damaged again. Our restoration process includes protective sealing that keeps your marble looking great for years, not just weeks.
Most marble wall restoration projects in Babylon take 1-3 days, depending on the area size and damage extent. A typical shower wall restoration is usually completed in 1-2 days, while larger areas like full bathroom walls may require 2-3 days.
Historic homes in Babylon sometimes need additional time because the original marble may have unique characteristics or damage patterns that require special attention. We always provide a realistic timeline during our initial assessment, and we stick to it.
All work is done on-site with dust-free equipment, so you don’t need to leave your home or deal with the mess. We protect surrounding areas and work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring the quality that comes with taking the time to do things right.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty—we’ve built our reputation on bringing century-old marble back to life. Many of Babylon’s pre-1929 homes have stunning original marble that just needs proper restoration to reveal its original beauty.
Historic marble often requires different techniques than modern stone because of vintage installation methods, unique marble types, and the settling that occurs in older homes. We understand these challenges and have the experience to work with them successfully.
We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration work, and we take special pride in preserving the architectural heritage that makes Babylon unique. Our goal is always to restore historic marble to its original glory while ensuring it meets modern durability and performance standards.
Marble walls lose their shine due to etching from acidic substances and microscopic scratches from daily use. In Babylon homes, common culprits include cleaning products, soap residue, hard water minerals, and even steam that carries acidic particles from bathroom products.
The humid Long Island climate makes this worse because moisture allows these acids to work more aggressively on the marble surface. Over time, this creates a dull, uneven appearance that can’t be corrected with regular cleaning—you need professional restoration.
The only permanent solution is diamond grinding and polishing that removes the damaged surface layer and reveals fresh marble underneath. Once restored, proper sealing helps prevent future dulling and extends the time between professional maintenance, especially important in our area’s challenging climate conditions.
