Marble Floor Polishing, Cleaning and Restoration

Restore the Beauty and Luxury of Your Marble Floors

Marble floors are synonymous with elegance and luxury, adding value and beauty to any home or commercial property. However, marble is a natural stone that is also relatively soft and porous, making it susceptible to scratches, staining, dullness, and etching from everyday wear and chemical exposure.

At Hampshire Hard Floor Care, we specialise in professional marble floor polishing, cleaning, and restoration, delivering stunning results that protect your investment and preserve the timeless beauty of your marble surfaces.

Our Complete Marble Restoration Services

Whether your marble floors are lightly worn or heavily damaged, we offer tailored solutions to bring them back to life:

1. Detailed Marble Floor Inspection

Every restoration begins with a thorough inspection to assess:

• The type of marble (e.g. Carrara, Calacatta, Crema Marfil, Nero Marquina, and others)
• Existing damage such as scratches, etching, staining, or cracks
• Previous coatings, waxes, or sealants that may need removal
• Client preferences for finish (honed, satin, or high gloss)

This enables us to create a bespoke plan for restoring your marble to its best possible condition.

 2. Deep Cleaning & Contaminant Removal

Marble’s pores can trap dirt, oils, and residues that conventional mopping cannot remove. We perform:

• Pre-treatment with pH-neutral cleaning solutions specifically formulated for natural stone
• Mechanical scrubbing with rotary machines and soft-bristle brushes to lift embedded dirt
• Hot water extraction for thorough rinsing and residue removal

This process leaves marble hygienically clean and prepared for restoration.

3. Grinding and Honing

If your marble surface has scratches, etching, lippage (uneven tiles), or severe dullness, we perform grinding and honing.

• Grinding: Removes deep scratches, lippage, and severe etching using metal-bond diamond abrasives.
• Honing: Refines the stone surface using progressively finer diamond abrasives (typically 100–800 grit) to smooth and prepare the marble for polishing.

Honing is crucial for removing surface imperfections and restoring a flat, even finish across the floor.

 4. Marble Polishing

Polishing enhances the marble’s natural colours and can deliver either a soft, satin sheen or a mirror-like high gloss. Our process includes:

• Diamond resin pads in higher grits (800–3500, sometimes up to 8000 for high-gloss finishes)
• Powder polishing techniques for extra clarity and shine, depending on the type of marble
• Ensuring a consistent, even finish without swirl marks or haze

Our skilled polishing process dramatically improves the appearance of marble, revealing its natural veining and depth of colour.

 5. Etch Mark and Stain Removal

Marble is sensitive to acids, which can leave dull white marks known as etching. Common causes include:

• Lemon juice, vinegar, or wine spills
• Harsh cleaning chemicals
• Toiletries and cosmetics on vanity tops

We carefully remove etch marks and stains, blending repairs seamlessly with the surrounding surface for a uniform look.

 6. Chip and Crack Repair

Our restoration services include repairing chips and cracks:

• Using specialist resin fillers colour-matched to your marble
• Smoothing and polishing repairs to blend seamlessly into the stone surface
• Preventing further damage by stabilising affected areas

This ensures your marble retains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

 7. Sealing and Protection

After restoration, we protect your marble floors to maintain their beauty:

• Application of high-quality impregnating sealers to reduce water and oil absorption
• Offering AntiEtch™ treatments, creating an invisible barrier against acid etching and staining while preserving the natural look of marble

Sealing extends the life of your marble floors and simplifies ongoing maintenance.
