What Is Marble Benchtop Restoration?
Marble benchtop restoration is a straightforward process that repairs and revamps these essential interior features so they can revert back to their original striking design impact – with full functionality. Following a thorough process, our expert team will transform your benchtop while maintaining, if not better showcasing its inherent value and beauty.
Whether your benchtop was made with us, came from a different supplier, or has simply been inherited with the purchase of a new property, don’t underestimate the power of a marble benchtop restoration.
Our Marble Restoration Process
Have a peek at a typical step-by-step guide for marble restoration process, where only the highest quality products are used by the most capable hands.
Cleaning & Preparation: First off, we’ll prepare the marble benchtop by wiping down any large, easily-removable stains or marks. It’s important to use pH-neutral cleaners to avoid causing accidental damage to the delicate marble surface.
Marble Grinding: Our second step is to grind the marble to remove the imperfections and level the surface. Here, we’ll address any etching or slightly deeper grooves affecting the look of the benchtop.
Marble Repairs: Depending on the extent of the damage, our team will then complete the job of restoring the marble benchtop. We’ll employ our years of expertise to repair chips, cracks, stubborn stains and any other structural or aesthetic damage.
Marble Polishing: Once your marble benchtop is looking fresh, we’ll get its shine back so it looks as good as brand new. We apply marble polishing compounds using aluminium oxide to get your benchtop as sparkling as it can be.
Marble Sealing & Anti-Etch Products: Finally, we’ll seal the marble using our top-quality sealants that will help to minimise damage from spills and stains. We’ll also apply products to the benchtop surface that will protect against etching.
Finishing Touches: Once fully cured, we sand, shape, and polish the joints to seamlessly blend with the stone’s natural texture for a flawless finish.

Marble Benchtop Maintenance Tips
Marble benchtops, when crafted and sealed to the high quality we expect and provide here at MSM Stone, should be easy to look after. Natural stone is porous, meaning it can absorb liquids, food and oils. We provide the sealant to prevent this damage, so all you have to do is keep the surface free of stains to avoid spills seeping into the surface or further down into the marble. We recommend using trivets, coasters and mats to prevent direct contact with hot objects, whether in your bathroom or kitchen.
That means any accidents should be mopped up quickly with non-abrasive chemicals and a mild detergent. Once your benchtop has been resealed, it should last for at least a couple of years, but it can last longer if you take good care of it.

Yes, it is possible for old marble to be repolished and to restore its shine. This process involves buffing the surface with delicate abrasives or even diamond pads and then applying a high quality sealant to ensure durability and longevity for years to come.
To make marble look new again, clean the stone regularly with pH-neutral substances. Polish with marble-surface compounds and fabrics (such as a fibre cloth) to remove dullness and keep the sealing intact to prevent etching or stains. Especially avoid acidic substances such as lemon juice and vinegar, as these can damage the finish.
To remove light etching from marble, you can use a specifically crafted marble polishing powder and buff gently until it goes away. For deeper etching, we recommend calling in the professionals for top-quality resurfacing and restoration. Make sure to reseal the marble after treatment to prevent future etching.
