Your marble shower walls will shine like new again, free from soap scum buildup and hard water stains that make them look neglected. The natural veining and color depth will pop the way it did when first installed.
Your kitchen backsplash will regain its elegant luster without the dull, etched appearance that comes from years of cooking oils and cleaning products. Every surface will be properly sealed to resist future staining and maintain that fresh appearance longer.
You’ll have marble walls that actually enhance your home’s value instead of detracting from it. No more embarrassment when guests see your bathroom or kitchen – just beautiful, well-maintained natural stone that reflects the quality of your home.
We’ve been restoring marble walls across Centereach, NY since 1998. We’re the owner-operated company that was featured in the New York Times for our expertise in bringing historic and challenging stone surfaces back to life.
In Centereach’s mix of older homes and newer construction, we’ve seen every type of marble wall problem you can imagine. From the pre-war homes near Middle Country Road to the newer developments in Dawn Estates and Eastwood Village, we understand how Long Island’s water conditions and climate affect your marble.
You get direct access to the owner throughout your project, not a salesperson who disappears after the contract is signed. We’ve built our reputation on transparency and delivering exactly what we promise.
First, we evaluate your marble walls to determine the specific type of stone and the extent of damage or dulling. Different marble varieties require different approaches, and we identify the right restoration method for your specific situation.
Next, we carefully clean the surface using specialized stone-safe products that remove buildup without causing etching or damage. This isn’t the harsh chemical cleaning that destroys marble – we use pH-balanced solutions designed specifically for natural stone.
Then comes the restoration process itself. We use professional-grade diamond polishing compounds and equipment to remove scratches, etch marks, and restore the natural shine. For deeper damage, we may need to hone the surface first, then polish to your desired finish level.
Finally, we apply a penetrating sealer that protects against future stains and makes routine cleaning much easier. You’ll get specific care instructions so your restored marble walls stay beautiful for years to come.
Ready to get started?
Your marble wall restoration includes complete cleaning, polishing, and sealing of all marble surfaces. We handle shower walls, bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, and any other marble wall surfaces in your Centereach home.
We also address the grout lines, which often turn black or become stained over time. Our grout restoration process removes stains and can even change the color if you want a fresh look that complements your newly restored marble.
In Centereach’s humid climate, proper sealing is crucial for marble longevity. We use commercial-grade penetrating sealers that protect against moisture penetration while allowing the stone to breathe naturally. This is especially important for shower walls that face constant moisture exposure.
For historic homes in the area, we take extra care to preserve the original character of older marble installations while bringing them up to modern performance standards. Your restoration will respect the home’s heritage while providing contemporary durability.
Most marble wall restoration projects in Centereach homes take 1-2 days depending on the size and condition of your walls. Shower wall restoration typically takes one full day, while larger projects like entire bathroom walls or multiple rooms may require two days.
The actual restoration work happens in stages. Cleaning and initial preparation usually takes 2-3 hours, while the polishing process can take 4-6 hours depending on how much damage needs to be corrected. Sealing adds another hour but requires drying time before the area can be used normally.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine. For bathroom work, we can often complete sections so you’re not without a functional bathroom overnight.
Yes, we regularly restore marble shower walls with heavy soap scum, hard water deposits, and even mold staining. What looks like permanent damage is often just buildup that can be safely removed with the right techniques and products.
The key is using stone-safe cleaning methods rather than harsh chemicals that many homeowners try first. Acidic cleaners like vinegar or standard bathroom cleaners actually etch marble, making the problem worse. We use specialized alkaline cleaners that dissolve soap scum without damaging the stone.
For severe cases, we may need to lightly hone the surface to remove etching caused by previous cleaning attempts, then polish back to the desired finish. Even marble that looks completely ruined can often be restored to like-new condition.
Cleaning removes surface dirt and grime but can’t fix scratches, etching, or restore lost shine. Restoration actually repairs the stone surface and brings back the original luster and smoothness you had when the marble was new.
Many “cleaning companies” offer marble services but use methods that can damage your stone. True restoration requires specialized diamond abrasives, professional polishing compounds, and years of experience working with natural stone. It’s a skilled trade, not just cleaning.
After restoration, your marble walls will have that deep, reflective shine that makes the stone’s natural beauty pop. Regular cleaning maintains that appearance, but only restoration can bring it back once it’s been lost to etching, scratches, or dulling.
Marble wall restoration typically costs 60-80% less than complete replacement, and the results often look better than new installation. Replacement involves demolition, disposal, new stone purchase, and installation – all expensive and disruptive.
The exact cost depends on your wall size, marble type, and condition, but most Centereach homeowners save thousands by choosing restoration over replacement. Plus, you keep your original marble, which may be higher quality or a pattern no longer available.
We provide free estimates so you can see the exact savings for your specific project. Most homeowners are surprised by how affordable professional restoration is compared to living with damaged marble or paying for full replacement.
Absolutely. Kitchen marble backsplashes face unique challenges from cooking oils, acidic foods, and daily cleaning that can cause etching and staining. We restore marble backsplashes to their original beauty and seal them properly for kitchen use.
Kitchen marble restoration often involves removing etching from acidic spills like lemon juice or tomato sauce, as well as buildup from cooking oils and cleaning products. Our restoration process addresses these specific issues while protecting against future damage.
We can also modify the finish level if desired. Some homeowners prefer a honed (matte) finish for kitchen walls to hide water spots and fingerprints better than a high-gloss polish. We’ll help you choose the best finish for your lifestyle and maintenance preferences.
Maintaining restored marble walls is straightforward with the right approach. Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners – never acidic products like vinegar, lemon-based cleaners, or standard bathroom cleaners that will etch the surface.
For daily cleaning, a microfiber cloth with plain water or stone-specific cleaner works best. Wipe down shower walls after use to prevent water spots and soap buildup. The sealer we apply makes this much easier by preventing stains from penetrating the stone.
We recommend professional resealing every 3-5 years depending on use, though properly sealed marble walls in Centereach homes typically maintain their protection longer. We’ll provide specific care instructions and product recommendations when we complete your restoration project.
