Those white spots, dull patches, and stubborn stains on your marble shower walls aren’t permanent. You don’t need to live with the embarrassment or start planning a full bathroom renovation.
Professional marble walls restoration brings back the smooth, elegant finish you remember. No more avoiding certain lighting or making excuses when guests use your bathroom.
The best part? You get your beautiful marble back for about 20-30% of replacement cost. Same stunning results, fraction of the mess and expense of tearing everything out and starting over.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been tackling the impossible marble restoration projects since 1998. We’re the owner-operated company that gets excited when other contractors say “it can’t be fixed.”
Featured in the New York Times for our restoration work, we’ve spent 26 years specializing in historic and challenging projects throughout Nassau County. The older and more damaged your marble, the more we want to work on it.
Roslyn homeowners choose us because you deal directly with the owner throughout your project. No middlemen, no confusion about what’s happening, no surprise charges. Just straight talk about what your marble needs and what it’ll cost to fix it right.
We start by figuring out what really went wrong with your marble walls. Not just the obvious damage you can see, but what caused it and how to prevent it from happening again.
Then comes the careful restoration work. We use specialized cleaners that won’t cause more etching, unlike the bathroom products that probably created half your problems. Each surface gets individual attention based on its specific damage.
The restoration itself involves grinding out deep etches, polishing away years of buildup, and repairing any chips or cracks with perfectly color-matched materials. We work systematically to restore the original finish without shortcuts.
Finally, we protect everything with professional-grade sealing. Not the stuff you buy at home improvement stores, but commercial sealers that actually prevent future staining and make your daily cleaning routine simple.

Every marble walls restoration project includes deep cleaning, complete etch removal, stain elimination, chip and crack repair, and professional sealing. We handle shower walls, backsplash marble, vanity surrounds, and any other damaged stone surfaces.
Roslyn’s historic homes often feature original marble installations that require specialized knowledge. We understand the unique challenges of century-old marble and have the experience to preserve its character while eliminating all the damage.
You also get access to our concrete restoration and polishing services – perfect for modern design elements or basement walls that need professional finishing. Plus our new concrete polishing service for contemporary projects.
Our owner-operator approach means you get direct communication from start to finish. When you call with questions or concerns, you’re talking to the person actually doing the work, not a call center.
Absolutely. Those white spots are called etching, and they happen when acidic cleaners or products literally dissolve the marble surface. The acid burns create dull spots that keep reappearing no matter how much you scrub.
We remove etching by carefully grinding the damaged surface back to healthy marble, then polishing it to match the original finish. For severe etching, we may need to hone the entire wall and re-polish everything for uniform appearance.
The key is understanding that etching is actual damage to the stone, not just a cleaning problem. You need proper restoration techniques and equipment, not stronger cleaners that make things worse.
Most shower wall restoration projects take 1-2 full days, depending on the size of your shower and how much damage we’re fixing. We work efficiently while protecting your floors, fixtures, and surrounding areas.
Day one typically involves assessment, deep cleaning, and beginning the actual restoration work. Day two focuses on finishing, polishing, and applying protective sealing.
We clean up completely each day and work around your schedule when possible. You can usually use your shower again within 24 hours of completion, once the professional sealer has properly cured.
Professional restoration costs about 20-30% of full replacement while often delivering results that look better than new marble. You keep your existing stone with all its unique character and avoid months of construction disruption.
Replacement means demolition, plumbing adjustments, tile work, and dealing with contractors for weeks. Restoration preserves what you have while fixing every problem and protecting against future damage.
Plus, proper restoration can actually increase your marble’s value and lifespan. You get professional sealing and maintenance guidance that prevent most future problems from ever developing.
The biggest culprit is using regular bathroom cleaners on marble. Most products designed to remove soap scum and hard water deposits are acidic enough to etch marble permanently with every use.
Hard water itself also creates mineral deposits that etch the surface over time. Soap scum buildup traps moisture and creates conditions for mold growth, leading people to use even harsher cleaners.
Poor or missing sealer makes everything worse by allowing stains and water to penetrate the stone. Without proper protection, even normal shower use gradually damages the marble surface.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty and what we’re known for. We get excited about century-old marble because it presents the kind of challenging projects we’ve built our reputation on.
Old marble often has unique characteristics, installation methods, and damage patterns that require specialized knowledge. We understand how to work with historic materials while preserving their authenticity and original character.
Many of our most satisfying projects involve bringing 100+ year old marble back to life. The craftsmanship in historic marble is usually superior to modern alternatives, making restoration the obvious choice over replacement.
Yes, we can restore marble to match any original finish whether it’s high polish, honed matte, or custom textures. This requires understanding the specific techniques used during the original installation.
We use diamond grinding and polishing pads ranging from coarse to ultra-fine grits to achieve the exact finish you want. For historic installations, we often blend different areas to create uniform appearance while respecting the original character.
The key is having 26 years of experience to know which restoration techniques work best for each type of marble and finish. Generic approaches don’t work when you’re dealing with quality stone that deserves proper restoration.
