In this BEFORE image, notice the circular pattern, likely caused by a drink cup containing an acidic substance, such as wine or orange juice spilling on the countertop.
Here is the same section of marble as the previous image, AFTER honing and polishing.
Here is another BEFORE image, showing etch damage on the marble finish.
Here is another AFTER image, showing the etch damage erased and the marble finish restored.
This side-by-side BEFORE (left) and AFTER (right) image demonstrates the high quality results we can achieve.
Etch Damaged Marble Countertop
Homeowners in Scottsdale called us because their brown marble countertop had “water rings,” that is, etch damage. Etching is a white, rough mark on the marble finish caused when acidic substances come into contact with the calcium in the stone and react chemically.
Marble Honing, Polishing, and Sealing
We used a series of progressively finer grit diamond pads to restore this countertop. First, we honed the marble to remove the surface damage. Then, we polished the marble to restore the elegant, reflective finish. What a difference! Our final step was to apply impregnating sealer to inhibit staining.
The homeowners were amazed at how new their countertops looked.
