Marble Vanity Top Restoration
Is your Marble / Limestone top damaged?
Marble and limestone is a used for Vanity and worktops in bathrooms and kitchens. They can look amazing, however they can be easily damaged from acids and scratches and go from looking fabulous to marked and tired. We can help restore your marble vanity units back to looking great again.
We often get calls from clients that find out the hard way that the wrong type of cleaners can cause damage to Marble tops. Below are two vanity sink tops with damage caused by etching. This etch damage is caused by products being left on the counter, these products have then eaten the surface leaving a discoloured dull patch. The marble top required honing and repolishng in order to restore the damaged area.
We began by protecting and masking the area and walls to ensure we kept the working area clean. Once the area was ready to begin the installation I started with a deep clean of the bathroom vanity top and then moved onto our machine honing stage. We honed the marble top with our handheld eccentric and rotary polishing machines and a Diamond impregnated resin pad. This was completed wet so no dust issues for the customer to be concerned with. The honing removes a small amount from the surface and removes the etch damage. Once the damage was removed we worked our was through to higher grit pads restoring the shine to match the original finish. Our honing also removed lighter surface scratching to restore the Marble top to a fantastic finish.
Once the Marble restoration was completd the top had a Colour enhancing impregnator applied and was machine buffed to finish.

Limestone Bathroom Restoration.
The black sinks are Spanish Nero Marquina Limestone. They were part of a complete bathroom restoration we completed in Wiltshire. The sinks easepcially had lots of damage from products and residues. We completed a restoration of the sinks, walls and floor. The sinks were dull and had lost their shine.
We completed a full restoration including honing, polishing and colour enhancing impregnator to restore the colour and shine.
Honing and Polishing limestone
Limestone Floors can be honed or polished to suit the desired look. From a flat matte honed finish, through to a satin shine or super reflective polished finish.
Honing Limestone Floor
A flat matte honed finish or a slight sheen can be achieved by diamond honing the floor. This is achieved by our machine removing microns from the surface to reveal the new beautifully simple contemporary look. This honed finish can be easier to maintain in a busy house, be more resistant to scratches and help to hide etch marks.
It also benefits from being less slippery than a polished floor when wet.
Honing a floor can remove etch marking and light scratches from flooring.

Polishing Limestone Flooring
For that real wow factor. A high polished floor with fantastic clarity and reflection of the surrounds.
A polished look is achived by first honing the floor to remove scratches and etch markings. We then progress through the various pads taking the floor from a matte finish, through various stages of light and satin sheens to the highly reflective powder polished finish. This glossy finish reflects the light and really brings out the details within the stone.
