Marble Polishing in District One

The short answer

Marble polishing and restoration in District One: honing, polishing, crystallisation and sealing, matched to the stone rather than applied as a single process.

Marble is calcium carbonate. It is softer and more reactive than it looks, and most of the damage we are called to correct was done by a cleaning product rather than by wear.

In District One, large contemporary villas and mansions on generous plots beside the lagoon, and lagoon-side humidity with very large areas of glass, where drying marks show more than dirt does. Grit tracked in from outside is the other half of the problem, because it abrades the polish underfoot.

what the visit covers

Marble polishing and restoration in District One, item by item

  • Grinding where the surface has lost level or has deep scratching

how it is carried out

Method, not improvisation

  • Neutral products only from that point on, and no acidic descalers
  • Dust-controlled machinery so the rest of the property is not affected
  • Test panel agreed with you before the whole floor is committed
  • Edges, thresholds and skirting worked by hand

Every crew that enters your property is on our payroll, trained by us and named on the job sheet. The supervisor who inspects is the supervisor who hands the work back to you.

questions

Marble polishing and restoration in District One: what owners ask

Light etching usually responds to honing and re-polishing. Deep etching needs grinding, which removes a thin layer of stone.

An annual check is sensible in a busy villa. A water-drop test shows whether the existing seal is still working.

Acidic cleaners and tracked-in grit. Vinegar and generic bathroom sprays cause more marble damage in this city than anything else.

Yes. District One sits on one of our route days, which is why an inspection is usually available within a working day. Glass here is usually the largest single item in the scope
