Next comes the restoration work itself. We use professional-grade equipment to carefully grind and hone the marble surface, removing damage while preserving the stone’s integrity. This isn’t the kind of work you can do with consumer products.

Our marble walls restoration covers everything from shower walls to kitchen backsplashes to decorative accent walls. We handle Carrara marble, Calacatta, travertine, and other natural stone surfaces throughout Laurel homes.
The service includes grinding away surface damage, honing to achieve the proper texture, polishing to restore shine, and sealing for protection. We also repair cracks, remove deep stains, and address grout issues that affect the overall appearance.
Laurel’s housing stock features many homes built in the 1970s with original marble installations that just need expert restoration rather than expensive replacement. We’ve worked on everything from modest bathroom updates to extensive historic home restorations throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The key is understanding how different marble types respond to restoration techniques.
Marble wall restoration typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement. While a complete marble shower replacement might run $8,000-$15,000, professional restoration usually ranges from $1,500-$4,000 depending on the size and condition.
The savings go beyond just the initial cost. Restoration preserves your existing marble, maintains the original design integrity of your home, and avoids the disruption of demolition and reconstruction.
Most Laurel homeowners are surprised by how dramatic the results are. Marble that looked beyond saving often comes back looking better than new after proper restoration.
Yes, we specialize in removing even the most stubborn soap scum and hard water deposits from marble shower walls. These buildups happen because regular bathroom cleaners either don’t work on marble or are too harsh and cause additional damage.
Our restoration process involves carefully grinding away the damaged surface layer where soap scum has etched into the marble. We then hone and polish the stone back to its original condition.
The key is using the right techniques and products. Many homeowners make the problem worse by using acidic cleaners that etch the marble surface. Professional restoration not only removes existing damage but also protects against future problems.
Most marble wall restoration projects in Laurel take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the size of the area and extent of damage. A typical bathroom shower wall restoration can often be finished in a single day.
We use dustless grinding techniques and handle all cleanup, so there’s minimal disruption to your daily routine. The marble is usually ready for normal use within 24 hours of completion.
The timeline includes evaluation, restoration work, polishing, sealing, and final cleanup. We coordinate with your schedule to minimize inconvenience and always communicate clearly about timing expectations before starting work.
Properly restored marble often looks better than new installations because we’re working with mature, high-quality stone that’s had time to stabilize. The restoration process brings back the original depth and character of the marble while eliminating all the damage and wear.
We don’t just clean the surface – we actually remove the damaged layer and re-polish the stone to factory specifications. This means you get the original beauty of your marble without the imperfections that developed over time.
Many of our Laurel clients are amazed by the transformation. Marble that looked dull, stained, or damaged comes back with the kind of deep shine and clarity that makes it a focal point of the room again.
Absolutely. We restore all types of marble wall applications including kitchen backsplashes, bathroom accent walls, fireplace surrounds, and decorative wall panels. Each application has its own challenges and requirements.
Kitchen backsplashes often deal with grease stains and heat damage, while bathroom walls face water damage and soap buildup. Decorative accent walls might have different finishing requirements.
The process remains fundamentally the same – careful grinding, honing, polishing, and sealing – but the specific techniques and products vary based on the marble type and its intended use. Our experience with Laurel’s diverse housing stock means we’ve worked on virtually every type of marble wall application you’ll find in local homes.
Yes, we regularly restore marble walls damaged by acidic cleaners, bleach, and other harsh products. This type of damage, called etching, is actually one of the most common problems we see in Laurel homes.
Etching occurs when acidic substances dissolve the marble surface, leaving dull, rough spots that can’t be fixed with cleaning. The only solution is professional restoration that removes the damaged layer and re-polishes the stone to its original finish.
We’ve restored marble walls damaged by everything from lemon juice and vinegar to commercial bathroom cleaners. The key is acting quickly – the longer etched marble is left untreated, the more damage can occur. But even severely etched marble can usually be restored to its original beauty with the right techniques and expertise.
