Marble and Limestone Restoration

Marble & Limestone Cleaning, Repair & Restoration | Peoria and Central IL

Bring Back the Elegance of Marble & Limestone

Trusted by homeowners and businesses across Peoria and Central Illinois since 1989

Marble and limestone are timeless, elegant surfaces—but they are also delicate and highly susceptible to damage.

Over time, these stones can become dull, scratched, etched, and stained—especially in high-use areas.

At Personal Touch Service Solutions, we specialize in professional marble and limestone restoration in Peoria and Central Illinois, using precise techniques to safely restore clarity, smoothness, and natural beauty.

Whether in a home or commercial setting, we bring your stone back to life—without causing further damage.

Natural Stone Restore

How We Restore Marble & Limestone the Right Way

Marble and limestone are softer, calcium-based stones that require precise handling and specialized techniques to restore without causing damage.

Our process is designed to safely correct surface issues while enhancing the natural beauty and finish of the stone:

  1. Inspection & Evaluation – Identify etching, wear patterns, and stone condition 
  2. Deep Cleaning – Remove embedded dirt, residue, and surface buildup
  3. Honing – Eliminate scratches, etching, and dull areas for a smooth surface
  4. Polishing – Restore clarity and achieve your desired finish (matte, satin, or gloss)
  5. Stain Treatment – Target and reduce deep-set stains
  6. Repairs – Address chips, cracks, and problem areas
  7. Sealing – Protect against moisture, staining, and future damage

Each step is customized based on your stone’s condition and how the surface is used.

Common Problems We Fix

These stones are especially vulnerable to everyday wear and improper cleaning:

  • Etching from acidic spills (wine, coffee, cleaners)
  • Dull or cloudy appearance
  • Scratches and surface wear
  • Water spots and mineral buildup
  • Stains that penetrate the stone
  • Uneven finish or traffic patterns

If left untreated, these issues can permanently affect the surface.
