Your marble walls will have that deep, reflective shine you remember from when they were first installed. No more soap scum buildup, water stains, or dull patches that make your bathroom look tired.
The etching damage from acidic cleaners disappears completely. Those rough, cloudy spots that catch dirt and grime get polished away. Your shower walls become smooth and non-porous again, which means they stay cleaner longer and resist future staining.
You’ll notice the difference immediately when you walk into your bathroom. The marble looks like new marble—not like something that’s been “fixed.” That’s the difference between real restoration and a quick patch job.
We’ve been restoring marble walls and natural stone surfaces throughout Long Island since 1998. You work directly with the owner, not a subcontractor—ensuring every project gets the expertise and attention your Plainview home deserves.
Our work has been recognized by the New York Times, and we’ve built our reputation tackling the most challenging restoration projects. In Plainview’s post-war homes, we understand how decades of use can damage even the highest-quality marble installations.
We specialize in historic restoration work. When other companies say a job is too difficult, that’s usually when we get the call. The worse the condition, the better we like it.
First, we assess the extent of damage to your marble walls—etching, staining, soap scum buildup, and any cracks or chips that need attention. We protect your fixtures, flooring, and surrounding areas with professional-grade masking before beginning any work.
Next comes the restoration process itself. We use diamond grinding pads to remove surface damage, followed by progressive polishing to restore the original finish. For shower walls, we pay special attention to grout lines and caulking, replacing them with materials that won’t damage the marble.
Finally, we apply professional-grade sealers that penetrate deep into the stone, protecting against future water damage and staining. The entire process is dust-free and completed on-site. You see the transformation as it happens, and we walk you through proper maintenance to keep your walls looking perfect.

Our marble walls restoration service addresses every aspect of your stone surfaces. We remove etching damage caused by acidic cleaners, eliminate soap scum and hard water deposits, and repair chips and cracks using color-matched materials.
For shower walls specifically, we understand the unique challenges of Plainview’s hard water. The mineral deposits that build up over time require specialized removal techniques that won’t damage the marble. We also address grout and caulking issues that can lead to water infiltration behind the tiles.
In Plainview’s older homes, we often encounter marble that hasn’t been properly maintained for decades. These projects require patience and expertise—knowing when to be aggressive with restoration and when to use gentler approaches. Our process restores not just the appearance but the structural integrity of your marble walls.
Yes, we specialize in repairing etching damage caused by acidic bathroom cleaners. Etching creates a rough, cloudy appearance on marble surfaces because the acid literally dissolves the top layer of stone.
Our restoration process uses diamond grinding pads to remove the damaged surface layer, then progressive polishing to restore the original smooth finish. The key is knowing exactly how much material to remove—enough to eliminate the damage, but not so much that we compromise the stone’s integrity.
This type of restoration requires professional equipment and expertise. DIY etching repair products from hardware stores typically make the problem worse because they can’t achieve the precision needed for natural stone surfaces.
Soap scum and hard water stains on marble require specialized removal techniques because standard bathroom cleaners are too acidic for natural stone. We use pH-neutral stone cleaners combined with professional-grade equipment to safely remove buildup.
For stubborn mineral deposits, we sometimes need to use poultices—specialized paste treatments that draw stains out of the stone over time. This process is much more effective than scrubbing, which can scratch the marble surface.
The challenge with Long Island’s hard water is that mineral deposits can actually penetrate into the stone if left untreated for years. Our restoration process addresses both surface buildup and deeper staining, then we apply penetrating sealers to prevent future problems.
Cleaning removes surface dirt and grime, but restoration actually repairs damage to the stone itself. If your marble walls have lost their shine, developed rough spots, or show etching damage, cleaning alone won’t fix these issues.
Restoration involves grinding away damaged stone, re-polishing the surface to the desired finish, and sealing the stone to protect against future damage. It’s essentially rebuilding the surface of your marble walls to their original condition.
Many companies offer “marble cleaning” but lack the equipment and expertise for true restoration. The difference is obvious in the results—cleaned marble might look better temporarily, but restored marble looks and performs like new stone.
Most marble wall restoration projects take 1-2 days depending on the size and condition of the area. Shower wall restoration typically requires the bathroom to be out of service during the work, but we coordinate timing to minimize disruption.
Our process is completely dust-free, so there’s no mess spreading throughout your home. We use professional masking and containment to protect your fixtures, flooring, and belongings during the restoration process.
We schedule projects at your convenience and provide clear timelines upfront. Most clients are surprised at how quickly we can transform damaged marble walls, and many say they wish they’d called us sooner instead of living with deteriorated stone surfaces.
Properly restored and sealed marble walls are actually easier to maintain than damaged stone. The smooth, sealed surface resists soap scum buildup and water staining, so regular cleaning with pH-neutral stone cleaner is usually sufficient.
We provide specific maintenance instructions and can recommend appropriate cleaning products. The key is avoiding acidic cleaners—no vinegar, lemon-based products, or typical bathroom cleaners that contain acid.
With proper maintenance, professionally restored marble walls can look beautiful for decades. The sealing we apply penetrates deep into the stone and provides long-lasting protection, but it’s not permanent—we typically recommend resealing every 3-5 years depending on use.
Yes, we can achieve virtually any finish on marble—from high-gloss polish to honed matte finishes. Matching existing surfaces requires expertise in understanding how different marble types respond to various polishing techniques.
In Plainview’s older homes, we often work on marble installations where some areas need restoration while others are still in good condition. Our goal is seamless integration so you can’t tell which areas were restored.
The key is understanding the original finish and the specific type of marble. Different marble varieties—Carrara, Calacatta, Crema Marfil—each have unique characteristics that affect how they polish and what finishes are achievable. This is where our 25+ years of experience really shows in the final results.
