Severe etching on marble countertop.
After honing and polishing, the countertop is as good as new!
Etching is damage that occurs on the surface of natural stone when an acidic substance, such as lemon juice or cleaning products, comes into contact with calcite or other minerals in the stone that are sensitive to acid. An etch is often mistaken for a stain or watermark because of the dull whitish mark that is left behind, but etching is actually a chemical reaction that roughens the surface of your stone.
Very mild etching can sometimes be removed with a polishing powder. Deep etch removal, however, should only be accomplished by a professionally trained and certified stone restoration contractor. Either way, it would be best to contact us, because the last thing you want is to cause additional damage to your natural stone.

Whether your natural stone is in your kitchen, bathroom, or another area of your home, we can expertly remove etch marks, leaving your stone as beautiful as the day it was installed.
