Your marble walls, shower surfaces, and backsplashes regain their original luster and protection. No more dull spots, etching, or stains that make your bathroom look tired and worn.
The difference is immediate. Surfaces that were cloudy and damaged now reflect light properly. Your shower walls look like they were just installed, and your marble backsplash becomes a focal point again instead of an eyesore.
Most importantly, properly restored marble resists future damage. When we seal your surfaces after restoration, they’re protected against the humidity, soap scum, and daily wear that caused the problems in the first place.
We’ve been bringing historic and high-end surfaces back to life since 1998. We’re the company that gets excited about the challenging jobs – the 100-year-old marble that other contractors won’t touch.
What sets us apart is owner-operator involvement on every project. When you call us, you’re dealing directly with the craftsman who will restore your marble, not a sales team or subcontractor.
East Northport’s older homes present unique restoration challenges, from original marble installations to vintage tile work that requires specialized knowledge. We’ve seen it all, and more importantly, we know how to fix it properly the first time.
We start with a detailed assessment of your marble’s condition. This tells us exactly what restoration approach will work best – whether it’s light cleaning and resealing or more intensive grinding and polishing.
Our steam cleaning process uses controlled temperatures and specialized equipment designed specifically for natural stone. Unlike household steam cleaners that can damage marble, our professional-grade systems clean deeply without causing thermal shock or surface damage.
After cleaning, we address any etching or scratching through careful honing and polishing. Finally, we apply a penetrating sealer that protects against future staining and etching. The entire process typically takes 1-2 days, and you can use your bathroom the next day.

Your steam cleaning and restoration service includes complete surface preparation, professional-grade cleaning, repair of chips and scratches, and protective sealing. We handle everything from shower walls and backsplashes to vanity tops and floor borders.
East Northport’s humid climate is particularly hard on marble surfaces. The constant moisture from showers creates perfect conditions for soap scum buildup, mold growth, and sealer breakdown. Our restoration process specifically addresses these local challenges.
We use dustless techniques performed entirely on-site. No mess, no cleanup for you to handle afterward. Most importantly, we guarantee our work – if you’re not completely satisfied with the results, we’ll make it right at no additional cost.
Professional steam cleaning is safe when done correctly with the right equipment and expertise. The key difference is temperature control and technique. Household steam cleaners can reach dangerous temperatures that cause thermal shock, leading to cracking, spalling, or discoloration in natural stone.
Our commercial-grade equipment maintains precise temperature control and uses specialized attachments designed for marble surfaces. We also assess your stone’s condition first – some damaged or very old marble requires different cleaning approaches. The steam cleaning we perform removes deep-seated dirt, soap scum, and bacteria without the harsh chemicals that can etch or stain your marble over time.
Most marble wall restoration projects in East Northport take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the size of the area and extent of damage. Shower walls typically require a full day, while smaller backsplash areas might be finished in a few hours.
The timeline includes surface preparation, cleaning, any necessary repair work like fixing chips or scratches, polishing, and final sealing. We work efficiently but never rush the process – each step needs proper cure time to ensure lasting results. You can typically use your bathroom the day after we finish, though we recommend waiting 24 hours before the first shower to allow sealers to fully set.
East Northport’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for marble deterioration. Constant steam and moisture from daily showers cause soap scum buildup, which etches the marble surface over time. Hard water deposits leave mineral stains that become increasingly difficult to remove with regular cleaning products.
Many homeowners unknowingly make the problem worse by using acidic cleaners like vinegar-based products or harsh bathroom cleaners. These actually burn the marble surface, creating permanent dull spots and etching that can’t be removed with normal cleaning. Additionally, old or failed sealers allow moisture and contaminants to penetrate the stone, causing discoloration and providing breeding grounds for mold and mildew.
Professional marble restoration typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement. When you factor in the cost of new marble, demolition, disposal, installation, and potential damage to surrounding areas, replacement becomes extremely expensive. Restoration gives you the same visual results at a fraction of the cost.
For East Northport homeowners, this is particularly important because many homes have original or vintage marble that would be expensive to match. Restoration preserves the character and value of your home while solving the aesthetic and functional problems. Plus, there’s no construction mess, no weeks of unusable bathrooms, and no risk of discovering hidden plumbing or structural issues during demolition.
In East Northport’s humid climate, marble shower walls should be professionally cleaned and resealed every 6-12 months, depending on usage and water quality. High-use bathrooms or those with hard water may need attention every 6 months, while guest bathrooms might go a full year between services.
The key is watching for warning signs: water no longer beads on the surface (indicating sealer failure), visible soap scum that won’t clean off, dull areas that weren’t there before, or any discoloration in the grout lines. Catching these issues early prevents more extensive damage that requires grinding and polishing. Regular professional maintenance keeps your marble looking new and actually saves money by preventing the need for major restoration work.
Yes, we regularly restore marble that’s been damaged by acidic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or improper cleaning techniques. Etching from products like CLR, vinegar-based cleaners, or bleach can often be repaired through careful honing and polishing processes. The extent of restoration needed depends on how deep the damage penetrates.
Surface etching and light scratches typically respond well to professional polishing compounds and techniques. Deeper damage might require diamond grinding to remove the damaged layer before polishing. In severe cases, we might need to refinish the entire surface to ensure uniform appearance. The good news is that most damage from cleaning products can be reversed – marble is surprisingly resilient when restored by experienced professionals who understand the stone’s properties.
