Professional marble restoration follows a proven four-step process, starting with grinding down the marble surface to remove roughness, scratches and stains. This flattening step creates the foundation for everything that follows.
Next comes honing, where industrial diamonds smooth the marble surface and create a uniform appearance. The polishing step uses smaller, graded industrial diamonds to give your marble stairs a semi-shining or shining appearance—deeper than routine maintenance polishing.
Finally, buffing (also called crystallization) gives marble floors their distinctive mirror-like shine. After repair, your steps are ready to use within an hour, delivering clean, polished, and properly restored marble stairs.
