You get back the smooth, gleaming surface that made you fall in love with your marble tub deck in the first place. No more embarrassing water stains or dull, etched areas that catch every visitor’s eye.
Your restored tub deck becomes a true centerpiece again. The kind of luxury feature that adds real value to your Plandome home, not just another maintenance headache you avoid showing guests.
Most importantly, you avoid the massive expense and disruption of full replacement. We restore what you have to like-new condition, often for a fraction of replacement cost.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring challenging marble projects since 1998. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors walk away from complex historic restoration work.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the craftsman doing the work, not a sales rep who’s never held a polishing pad. Featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, we’ve built our reputation on jobs others consider impossible.
In Plandome’s historic homes, where most properties date back to the 1930s and 1940s, we understand the unique challenges of preserving original character while meeting modern expectations. Your tub deck restoration gets the same attention to detail we’d give our own family’s home.
First, we assess the damage. Every tub deck tells a story through its stains, scratches, and etched areas. We identify what caused each problem so we can fix it properly, not just cover it up.
Next comes the restoration process. We start with professional-grade grinding and honing to remove deep scratches and etching. Then we progress through finer polishing stages until your marble achieves that mirror-like finish you remember.
Finally, we seal and protect. Your restored surface gets a protective seal that helps prevent future staining and etching. We also show you the proper maintenance techniques to keep your investment looking perfect between professional services.

Your tub deck restoration covers complete surface renewal, from removing years of soap scum buildup to eliminating water stains that seem permanent. We address etching from acidic products, scratches from daily use, and any chips or cracks in the marble surface.
In Plandome’s luxury homes, where bathroom renovations can easily cost $50,000 or more, tub deck restoration offers exceptional value. Rather than gutting your entire bathroom, we restore your existing marble to like-new condition for a fraction of replacement cost.
We also handle the technical challenges unique to historic homes. Many Plandome properties have original marble installations that require specialized knowledge to restore properly. Our experience with pre-war construction means we understand how these materials were originally installed and how to work with them safely.
Most tub deck restoration projects take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the size and condition of your marble. Simple polishing and sealing can often be finished in a single day.
For more extensive restoration involving crack repair or deep etching removal, we may need two days. The good news is you can typically use your tub the same evening we finish – there’s no extended curing time like with replacement projects.
We schedule restoration work at your convenience and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Many of our Plandome clients appreciate that we can complete the work while they’re at the office.
Yes, we repair cracks using color-matched epoxy that blends seamlessly with your marble’s natural veining. The key is using the right materials and techniques so the repair becomes virtually invisible.
Small hairline cracks are straightforward to fix and usually don’t indicate structural problems. Larger cracks may require more extensive repair, but we can typically restore even heavily damaged tub decks to like-new condition.
During our assessment, we’ll identify what caused the cracking so we can prevent it from recurring. Sometimes it’s as simple as improving the support structure underneath, other times it’s addressing water infiltration issues.
Absolutely. Water stains and soap scum buildup are among the easiest problems for us to solve during restoration. Even stains that seem permanent typically come out during the grinding and polishing process.
The challenge isn’t removing existing stains – it’s preventing new ones from forming. That’s why we include protective sealing as part of every restoration project. A properly sealed tub deck resists staining and makes routine cleaning much easier.
We also provide specific maintenance guidance for your restored surface. Simple daily care prevents most staining issues, and knowing which cleaning products to avoid protects your investment long-term.
Tub deck restoration typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement, often saving homeowners $3,000-$8,000 or more. The exact savings depend on your marble type and the extent of restoration needed.
Replacement involves demolition, disposal, new fabrication, and installation – all expensive steps that restoration eliminates. You also avoid the disruption and mess of a major bathroom renovation project.
For Plandome homeowners with historic marble that would be difficult or impossible to match exactly, restoration often provides better results than replacement. You preserve the original character while getting like-new performance.
Yes, we restore marble around jacuzzis, spas, and luxury soaking tubs. These installations often present unique challenges due to constant moisture exposure and the complex shapes involved.
Jacuzzi tub decks typically see more wear than standard bathtub installations because of the jets and increased water circulation. This can accelerate etching and staining, but it also means restoration provides dramatic improvement in appearance.
We’re experienced with the waterproofing and sealing requirements for spa installations. Proper sealing is critical around jets and plumbing penetrations to prevent water damage to the underlying structure.
Historic restoration is actually our specialty. We understand the unique challenges of working with original marble installations in pre-war homes, which make up the majority of Plandome’s housing stock.
Older installations often used different adhesives and setting techniques than modern methods. We know how to work with these materials safely without causing damage to surrounding areas or the home’s historic character.
Many of our Plandome clients specifically choose us because we can restore their original marble rather than replace it with modern materials that don’t match the home’s period. Preserving original architectural elements often adds more value than updating them.
