Marble Restoration - Melbourne
Have your marble surfaces seen better days? We can help. At Shiny Stones, we offer professional marble repair and restoration services at the best prices in Melbourne.
Marble, despite its elegance and timeless beauty, is prone to damage due to several inherent characteristics and its composition. It’s a soft, porous stone that is sensitive to acids, moisture, staining and physical damage.
The good news is that even highly damaged marble surfaces can be restored to their former glory. Our team of marble experts provide a range of marble restoration services including honing and resurfacing, chip and crack repairs, marble polishing and cleaning and marble sealing.
What We Do?
Whether it’s for floors or benchtops, marble restoration involves a series of steps to repair and renew the appearance of the marble.
Assessment and Inspection
We begin by inspecting the surface to identify the extent of damage, scratches, stains, and dullness. We also assess the type of marble and its condition to determine the appropriate restoration techniques.
Marble Cleaning
Before any restoration takes place, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned. Marble should always be cleaned with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaner to avoid damaging the surface.
Stain Removal
The next step involves removing stains in the marble. Different stains may require specific treatments, such as poultices or specialty stain removers.
Grinding and Honing
If the marble has deep scratches or etch marks, a grinding process may be necessary. This involves using coarse diamond abrasives to level the surface.
Honing follows the grinding process and uses progressively finer abrasives to achieve a smooth, matte finish. It removes minor scratches and restores the marble's natural appearance.
Marble Polishing
Polishing brings out the shine in marble. Specialised polishing compounds and equipment, such as polishing pads, are used to achieve a glossy finish.
The marble polishing process may involve multiple passes with varying levels of abrasive materials to achieve the desired level of shine.
Sealing
After cleaning and restoring the marble, stone sealing is essential to protect the surface from future stains and damage. When it comes to sealing, we use only industry-leading sealers designed to protect and enhance marble surfaces.
