Marble Resurfacing and Maintenance Service
Marble Resurfacing by JK Marble Maintenance
Marble is a timeless, elegant material that adds a touch of luxury to any home. Like all natural stones, marble can become dull, scratched, or stained over time. That’s where marble resurfacing comes in.
At JK Marble Maintenance, we specialize in restoring your marble surfaces to their original splendor.
This guide will cover everything you need about marble resurfacing, including specific applications such as floor, countertop, and shower resurfacing.
What is Marble Resurfacing?
Marble resurfacing is a multi-step process that involves grinding down the top layer of the stone to remove imperfections such as scratches, etches, stains, and water spots.
This process exposes a fresh, new surface, ready to be polished to your desired finish.
Unlike simple cleaning or polishing, resurfacing addresses more significant damage and revitalizes the stone.
Marble Resurfacing vs. Marble Polishing: What’s the Difference?
It’s a common question: what’s the difference between resurfacing and polishing?
- Marble Polishing: This process focuses on enhancing the shine of the marble.
Polishing compounds buff the surface and create a glossy or honed finish.
Polishing is ideal for maintaining already well-maintained marble. - Marble Resurfacing: This is a more intensive process that removes a thin layer of the stone to eliminate deeper imperfections.
Resurfacing is necessary when the marble has significant damage or has lost its original luster.
Think of polishing as a touch-up and resurfacing as a complete restoration.
When Do You Need Marble Resurfacing?
Here are some signs that your marble needs resurfacing:
- Visible scratches and etches: These are common from daily use and spills.
- Dull or faded appearance: The marble has lost its shine and looks lifeless.
- Stubborn stains: Cleaning alone cannot remove deep-set stains.
- Uneven surface: The marble feels rough or has noticeable lippage (uneven tiles).
Marble Floor Resurfacing:
Marble floors are a stunning addition to any home, but they endure a lot of foot traffic.
Marble floor resurfacing is essential for restoring their beauty and preventing further damage. Our process includes:
- Grinding: Removing scratches, etches, and other imperfections.
- Honing: Creating a smooth, matte finish (optional).
- Polishing: Achieving the desired level of shine, from a high gloss to a satin finish.
- Sealing: Protecting the marble from future stains and damage.
Marble Countertop Resurfacing:
Marble countertops are elegant but susceptible to etching from acidic substances like lemon juice and vinegar.
Marble countertop resurfacing can remove these etches and restore the countertop’s original beauty.
We take extra care to protect your cabinetry and appliances during the process.
Resurface Marble Shower:
Showers are a particularly challenging environment for marble due to constant exposure to water and soap scum.
Resurfacing a marble shower can remove water spots, soap scum buildup, and other damage, leaving your shower looking fresh and new. We also recommend sealing the marble after resurfacing to prevent future problems.
