Your marble walls will look like they did when they were first installed. No more soap scum buildup that makes your shower look dingy. No more water stains on your kitchen backsplash that regular cleaning won’t touch.
Steam cleaning reaches deep into the stone where regular cleaners can’t go. We’re pulling out years of embedded grime, mineral deposits, and organic buildup that’s been slowly dulling your marble’s natural beauty.
You’ll walk into your bathroom and actually be proud of how it looks. That’s what happens when marble gets restored properly—you remember why you chose it in the first place.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring deteriorated marble across Nassau County since 1998. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors say a job can’t be done.
Bethpage sits in the heart of Nassau County, where historic buildings and century-old homes still showcase original marble installations. These surfaces need specialists who understand both the beauty and the challenges of working with aged stone. We’ve restored marble in homes dating back to the 1800s, always treating each project with the respect it deserves.
We’re owner-operated, which means you work directly with experienced craftsmen who take personal responsibility for every project. No subcontractors, no surprises. When the New York Times featured our work in 2001, it was because we consistently deliver results that other companies can’t match.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition. Every surface tells a story—etching from acidic cleaners, staining from hard water, or damage from years of improper care. We need to understand what happened before we can fix it.
Our steam cleaning equipment operates at temperatures and pressures that safely penetrate deep into the marble’s pores. This isn’t household steam cleaning—we’re using professional-grade systems that remove embedded contaminants without damaging the stone structure.
For damaged areas, we perform precision repairs using materials that match your marble perfectly. Chips get filled and sanded smooth. Etched areas are polished back to their original finish. Finally, we apply protective sealants that make future maintenance easier and prevent the problems from coming back.

We handle steam cleaning for all marble surfaces—shower walls, kitchen backsplashes, bathroom vanities, and full wall installations. Whether it’s a historic home in Old Bethpage or a modern renovation in Nassau County, we have the expertise to restore it properly.
Long Island’s climate creates specific challenges for marble. Our hard water leaves mineral deposits that build up over time. High humidity in bathrooms creates perfect conditions for soap scum and organic growth. Kitchen backsplashes face constant exposure to cooking oils and acidic foods that can permanently etch marble surfaces.
Our steam cleaning process addresses these local conditions specifically. We understand how Nassau County’s water quality affects different marble types, and we know which restoration methods work best in our climate. You’re getting solutions designed for Long Island marble, not generic approaches that might work elsewhere.
The service includes grout restoration, caulk replacement, and protective treatments that extend your marble’s life. This isn’t just cleaning—it’s complete restoration that addresses current damage and prevents future problems.
Most marble shower wall restoration projects take 4-6 hours, but the timeline depends on size, condition, and what repairs are needed. We don’t rush the process because proper restoration requires time for each step—assessment, cleaning, repairs, and protective treatments.
Simple steam cleaning might be completed in half a day, but if we discover etching, chips, or grout problems during our inspection, we’ll need additional time for repairs. We always provide a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
After completion, you’ll need to keep the area dry for 24 hours while sealants cure. This waiting period is crucial for long-term protection. We provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure you get the maximum benefit from the restoration work.
Professional steam cleaning removes most hard water stains from marble backsplashes, but success depends on how long the stains have been there and whether they’ve caused permanent etching. Surface-level mineral deposits usually come off completely with our equipment and techniques.
However, Long Island’s hard water can cause permanent etching if stains sit for extended periods. Etching creates actual damage to the stone surface that requires polishing and refinishing, not just cleaning. During our assessment, we can distinguish between removable stains and permanent etching.
Because Nassau County water has high mineral content, hard water staining is extremely common here. That’s why we recommend protective sealing after restoration—it creates a barrier that prevents minerals from bonding directly to the stone and makes future cleaning much easier.
Steam cleaning is safe for most marble types when performed by experienced professionals, but different varieties require adjusted techniques. Softer marbles like Carrara handle standard procedures well, while denser stones may need modified pressure and temperature settings.
The key is understanding your specific marble’s composition and current condition before starting any work. We always test inconspicuous areas first to ensure our equipment settings won’t cause damage. Temperature, pressure, and cleaning solutions are all calibrated based on stone type and condition.
Some severely deteriorated or very old marble may not be suitable for steam cleaning at all. In these cases, we recommend alternative restoration methods like hand polishing or specialized chemical treatments. That’s why proper assessment is so important—we choose the right approach for your specific situation, not a one-size-fits-all method.
High-use marble shower walls in Nassau County typically need professional restoration every 12-18 months, depending on water quality, usage frequency, and maintenance between services. Daily-use master bathrooms may need annual attention, while guest bathrooms might go 2-3 years between professional services.
Long Island’s hard water accelerates mineral buildup compared to other regions, so local marble often needs more frequent professional attention. If you’re seeing soap scum that won’t respond to regular cleaning, or if the marble looks dull despite your efforts, it’s time for professional restoration.
Between professional services, daily maintenance makes a significant difference. Squeegee walls after use, clean with pH-neutral stone products, and address spills immediately. This routine extends time between professional restorations and keeps your marble looking better longer. We provide specific maintenance guidance based on your marble type and usage patterns.
Professional steam cleaning penetrates deep into marble’s pores to remove embedded contaminants that household cleaners simply cannot reach. Regular cleaning addresses surface dirt, while our process removes years of accumulated buildup from within the stone structure itself.
Our equipment generates high-temperature vapor that breaks down soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic matter at the molecular level. The heat and pressure reach microscopic pores where bacteria, mold, and stains hide. No consumer-grade product can achieve this level of deep cleaning.
Professional restoration also includes damage assessment and repair that most people don’t even notice. We identify early-stage etching, hairline cracks, and seal failures that could become expensive problems if ignored. It’s preventive maintenance that protects your investment by addressing issues before they require major repairs.
We can remove paint from marble walls and restore the stone underneath, but it requires specialized techniques beyond standard steam cleaning. Paint removal involves careful application of chemical strippers and precise scraping to avoid damaging the marble surface.
Success depends on paint type, how long it’s been applied, and the marble’s condition when it was painted. Some paints bond more aggressively than others, and removal sometimes reveals damage that was hidden underneath the coating.
This is definitely not a DIY project—improper paint removal can permanently damage marble surfaces. We have specialized tools and decades of experience safely stripping coatings without harming the stone. After removal, the marble typically needs polishing and sealing to restore its original appearance and provide ongoing protection. The results are usually worth the effort, especially on historic marble installations.
