Your tub deck stops being the thing you try to hide from guests. Those water rings around the faucet disappear. The dull patches where soap scum has etched the marble get their shine back.
You’re not just getting a clean surface – you’re getting restored marble that looks better than it has in years. The kind of finish that makes people ask if you just had new marble installed.
Most importantly, you avoid spending $5,000-15,000 on replacement. Professional restoration costs a fraction of that while delivering the same visual result. Your marble gets 15+ more years of life, and your bathroom gets its luxury appeal back.
We’ve been bringing damaged stone back to life since 1998. We’re the company other contractors call when they need marble restoration done right.
You work directly with our owner-operator who’ll restore your tub deck. No subcontractors, no wondering if the person quoting your job actually knows marble restoration. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our work on historic properties.
Long Island’s hard water and older homes create unique challenges for marble surfaces. We’ve seen every type of damage that happens in Suffolk County bathrooms, and we know exactly how to fix it. That experience matters when you’re trusting someone with expensive marble.
First, we identify what’s wrong. Water rings aren’t the same as soap scum etching. Surface scratches need different treatment than deep stains. Most people can’t tell the difference, but the repair method depends entirely on the type of damage.
The restoration uses professional diamond polishing systems that rebuild the marble’s surface structure. We’re not covering up problems – we’re removing the damaged layer and recreating the original finish. It’s the same process used on museum pieces and historic buildings.
Finally, we protect your investment with appropriate sealing. Your restored tub deck will resist future water spots and soap scum damage better than it ever has. Most clients go 10-15 years before needing any touch-up work.
Ready to get started?
Complete damage assessment and surface preparation before any restoration work begins. We address etching from cleaning products, mineral deposits from Stony Brook University’s hard water, soap scum damage, and surface scratches that have accumulated over years.
The restoration process removes the damaged surface layer and rebuilds your marble’s original finish. You get the same results as replacement without the $10,000+ cost or weeks of construction disruption.
Transparent pricing means no surprises. We’ve been working in Suffolk County long enough to know what to expect from different types of marble damage. The quote you get is the price you pay – no “additional work discovered” halfway through the job.
Most tub deck restorations complete in one day. Your bathroom is back to normal use within 24 hours, not the weeks of disruption you’d face with replacement.
Professional marble restoration typically runs $4-12 per square foot depending on damage severity. Most residential tub deck restorations cost $400-900 total, while replacement runs $5,000-15,000 plus weeks of construction.
The cost depends on the extent of etching, staining, and surface damage. Light water spots and soap scum etching cost less to repair than deep scratches or severe mineral deposits from hard water.
We provide upfront pricing with no surprises. After 26 years in Suffolk County, we know what different types of damage cost to repair. The quote includes all materials, labor, and sealing protection.
Yes, those white rings are acid etching from soap and hard water minerals. They’re not stains – they’re actual chemical damage where acids have dissolved the marble’s surface. Regular cleaning can’t fix them because the damage is structural.
Professional restoration removes the etched layer and rebuilds the marble’s original finish. We use diamond polishing compounds and specialized equipment that recreate the stone’s factory finish at a microscopic level.
The process works on most marble types found in Stony Brook University area homes. We’ve successfully restored marble from the 1980s through current installations. Each surface gets evaluated individually because different marbles require different restoration approaches.
Properly restored and sealed marble maintains its appearance for 10-15 years with normal bathroom use. The key is the quality of restoration work and following proper care afterward.
We include detailed care instructions and recommend pH-neutral cleaners designed specifically for marble. Avoiding acidic bathroom cleaners and wiping up spills quickly prevent most future damage. Many clients go decades between major restoration work.
The protective sealing we apply provides additional resistance to soap scum etching and water spots. Depending on usage patterns, resealing every 3-5 years maintains that protection and extends the time between restoration services.
Cleaning removes soap scum, dirt, and surface buildup but can’t fix etching, water spots, or dullness. If your marble looks clean but still has white rings or dull patches, you need restoration, not deeper cleaning.
Restoration actually repairs the damaged stone structure. We remove the etched surface layer and rebuild the marble’s original finish. This fixes problems that no amount of cleaning can address – like acid damage from cleaners and mineral etching from hard water.
Many companies offer “marble restoration” but only provide aggressive cleaning. True restoration requires specialized diamond polishing equipment and compounds. If the price sounds too good to be true, you’re probably getting cleaning services, not restoration.
Absolutely. Older marble installations often used higher-quality stone than what’s available today. Many 1990s and 2000s installations used thicker, denser marble with fewer natural flaws than modern thin-set alternatives.
Age-related damage like water spots and soap scum etching is typically surface-level. The marble underneath is usually in excellent condition. Restoration often reveals beauty that surpasses what new marble installations offer.
The investment makes sense financially too. Older installations are more substantial and better-crafted than modern alternatives. Restoring preserves that quality while avoiding the $10,000+ expense and weeks of disruption that replacement requires.
Yes, we guarantee complete satisfaction with the restoration results. If you’re not happy with how your tub deck looks after restoration, we’ll work with you until it meets your expectations. Our 26-year reputation depends on delivering what we promise.
The guarantee covers the restoration work itself – removing etching, restoring shine, and achieving the finish we agreed on. It doesn’t cover new damage from improper care, but we provide detailed maintenance instructions to prevent future problems.
Most of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers who trust us with their most valuable surfaces. That’s only possible when you consistently deliver results that last. We’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
