Your marble walls and shower surfaces will look like the day they were originally installed. The soap scum disappears. The water stains vanish. The dullness transforms into a brilliant shine that catches light the way it was meant to.
You’ll walk into your bathroom and actually be proud of what you see. No more avoiding certain angles or making excuses to guests. No more wondering if it’s time to tear everything out and start over.
The marble that’s been part of your home’s character for decades gets to stay exactly where it belongs—just restored to its original glory.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring Rockville Centre’s historic marble since 1998. We’re the owner-operated company that actually gets excited about the challenging projects—the older and more complex your marble, the better we like it.
Rockville Centre sits on some of the most well-preserved historic architecture on Long Island. About 90% of the historic homes here still look as good as when they were built, and we’ve played a part in keeping many of them that way. We understand the delicate nature of century-old materials and the specific techniques required to restore them without compromising their integrity.
Our first client, the Garden City Hotel, has trusted us exclusively for over 16 years. That’s the kind of relationship you build when you consistently deliver results that matter.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition and age. Historic marble requires different techniques than newer installations, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Our specialized steam cleaning equipment uses controlled temperature and pressure to break down soap scum, hard water deposits, and organic buildup without damaging the marble’s surface. This isn’t the kind of steam cleaning you’d use on carpets—it’s precision work designed specifically for natural stone.
We follow the steam cleaning with targeted restoration techniques. Etching gets corrected. Scratches disappear. Grout lines get properly sealed. The entire process typically takes 1-2 days, and you can use your bathroom the next day. We handle all the masking, protection of surrounding areas, and cleanup—you don’t lift a finger.

Your steam cleaning service covers marble walls, shower surfaces, backsplashes, and any natural stone that needs attention. We’re not just cleaning the surface—we’re restoring the marble’s natural properties and protecting it for years to come.
In Rockville Centre’s historic homes, we often encounter marble that’s been damaged by decades of harsh cleaning products or neglect. Our steam cleaning process safely removes buildup that would be impossible to address with standard cleaning methods. We also handle the grout restoration, re-caulking, and sealing that complete the job properly.
Because Rockville Centre has such a concentration of well-preserved historic homes, we’ve developed specific expertise with the types of marble commonly found in century-old construction. We know which techniques work and which ones can cause irreversible damage to these irreplaceable surfaces.
Yes, when done by professionals who understand historic materials. Standard steam cleaning can actually damage marble through thermal shock and pressure buildup, but our specialized equipment and techniques are designed specifically for natural stone restoration.
We use controlled temperature and pressure that’s safe for even century-old marble. The key is understanding the porosity and composition of your specific marble type. Historic marble often has different characteristics than modern installations, and we adjust our approach accordingly. We’ve been working with Rockville Centre’s historic homes since 1998, so we know exactly what these materials can handle.
Professional steam cleaning should happen every 6-12 months for marble shower walls, depending on usage and water quality. Marble is naturally porous, and the micro-crevices can harbor bacteria, mold, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning can’t reach.
In Rockville Centre, we see a lot of hard water issues that accelerate buildup on marble surfaces. The longer you wait between professional cleanings, the more aggressive the restoration process needs to be. Regular maintenance steam cleaning prevents the deep etching and staining that require more intensive restoration work. It’s much more cost-effective to maintain your marble than to restore it after years of neglect.
Absolutely. Hard water stains and soap scum are two of the most common issues we address with steam cleaning. These buildups are particularly stubborn because most cleaning products strong enough to remove them will actually etch and damage marble surfaces.
Our steam cleaning process breaks down these deposits safely without using harsh chemicals that can harm your marble. We follow up with targeted restoration techniques to address any etching that may have occurred before we arrived. The combination of proper steam cleaning and restoration techniques can make marble walls look better than they have in years, even decades in some of Rockville Centre’s historic homes.
DIY steam cleaners can cause serious damage to marble through excessive heat and pressure. Most residential steam cleaners aren’t designed for natural stone and can cause spalling, cracking, and permanent discoloration.
Professional marble steam cleaning uses specialized equipment with precise temperature and pressure controls. We understand marble’s thermal expansion properties and adjust our techniques based on the age and type of stone. We also follow steam cleaning with proper restoration steps—sealing, polishing, and protective treatments that DIY equipment can’t provide. The difference is having marble that looks professionally restored versus marble that might be permanently damaged by the wrong approach.
Most marble shower wall steam cleaning projects take 1-2 days, depending on the size and condition of the area. We can typically complete smaller shower enclosures in a single day, while larger or more damaged installations may require additional time for proper restoration.
The process includes preparation, steam cleaning, restoration work, and sealing. We handle all the masking and protection of surrounding areas, so you don’t need to worry about damage to other bathroom surfaces. You can usually use your shower the day after we finish. We schedule our work to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring the job is done properly.
Professional marble restoration, including steam cleaning, can increase your property value by up to 25% according to the National Association of Realtors. In Rockville Centre’s historic home market, well-maintained original features are particularly valuable to buyers.
Restored marble surfaces showcase the quality and craftsmanship that makes these historic homes special. Buyers recognize the difference between original marble that’s been properly maintained and surfaces that have been neglected or damaged by improper cleaning. Given Rockville Centre’s reputation for well-preserved historic architecture, maintaining your marble surfaces properly helps your home stand out in this competitive market.
