Marble Restoration: The do’s and dont’s
Elegant, versatile, and hard-wearing, marble is no longer just for the wealthy. The luxury of marble can be found in many homes today as a kitchen worktop, a fireplace, or even an entrance hall. The classical beauty of marble can also be found in hotel reception areas and company head offices. However, like any other surface, you need to pay a bit of attention to it occasionally to keep it looking beautiful and to prolong its life.
Marble is both hardwearing and absorbent. Spills could stain, while acidic substances can damage marble by dissolving its material composition. Externally, it is susceptible to air-borne pollutants and can even warp. Sadly, marble is quite likely to be damaged if it’s used in an area that receives a lot of traffic. It is also easy for your marble to get scratched.
Maintain marble’s natural beauty by cleaning it regularly
It is good to know that marble can be preserved by regular polishing. It will also look nice if you clean it every few years to prevent too much polish buildup on its surface. If you don’t do this, you might have to do a complete restoration in order to restore it to its original pristine condition.
You’ll know just how difficult it can be to get good marble polishing results without specialist training or equipment if you’ve tried it yourself. Restoring marble is one of those jobs that is best left to the professionals.
Tabletops made of marble
You can never go wrong with marble, and it will be in style for a long time to come. Therefore, it’s not surprising that its popularity extends to furniture and countertops, including coffee and dining tables. The right one will suit your taste and budget, as well as the rest of your home.
It is important to keep the stone looking its best by using coasters even for water, never place anything hot directly on it, and remember that it is sensitive to acidic and alkaline products, as well as tannins from coffee, tea, and wine, and hard water staining.
If you need more than regular cleaning, we can protect your table, polish your marble, or restore damaged furniture.
Our goal is to protect your investment by keeping it in top condition.
Marble worktops and countertops
If you compare marble with other types of natural stone, you may find it to be more affordable than you thought. In addition, it is long-lasting and heat-resistant, making it an ideal choice for kitchen countertops. As a result of marble’s temperature, it is ideal for rolling out pastry. Aside from its resistance to scratches and breaking, marble is also more durable than some alternatives.
Additionally, its shine gives a room a touch of elegance. As a result of the different minerals within the limestone, every stone has a unique colour and pattern. This distinctive, beautiful veining results from impurities within the stone under natural manufacture.
Wouldn’t marble countertops look great in your bathroom, too?

Fireplaces made out of marble
The durability, heat resistance, and versatility of marble make it the perfect material for a natural stone fireplace that adds value to your home. Fireplaces are always great focal points for any room, and they can set off any decor beautifully.
The best way to keep yours looking its best is not to purchase expensive equipment. Add a regular mild detergent to warm water and soak a cloth in it. Avoid streaks by working from the bottom up in circular motions. A sponge and clean water should be used to rinse the area before using an absorbent microfibre cloth to dry it.
In addition, you should seal your fireplace before you use it for the first time, to keep it in good condition.
