Marble is a calcite-based natural stone prized for its veining — and vulnerable to etching from acidic cleaners and hard water. We hone, polish and seal marble showers to restore their depth without damage.
Common problems with this material
Etch marks from acids
Marble is calcite-based, so acidic cleaners, hard water and some soaps chemically dull the surface, leaving pale, rough etch spots.
Loss of polish and depth
Daily wear and soap film strip the reflective finish until the marble looks flat and lifeless even when clean.
Staining in the stone
Unsealed or worn sealer lets oils and minerals soak into the marble, leaving dark patches that sit below the surface.
How we restore it
We restore marble showers by diamond honing to remove etching and staining, then polishing to your chosen finish — gloss, satin or matte — and resealing with a stone-safe penetrating sealer. No waxes or coatings: the result is the marble's own surface, mechanically refined to its original depth and clarity.
Care guidance
Never use vinegar or acidic cleaners on marble. Clean with pH-neutral stone soap and reseal regularly.
Long-term maintenance
Never use vinegar, lemon or acidic cleaners on marble — they etch the surface. Clean with a pH-neutral stone soap, blot spills immediately, and keep the sealer topped up every 1–2 years. A soft microfibre cloth keeps the polish between professional maintenance.
