One island, before and after.

Lemon, wine and the wrong cleaner had etched rings into this black and gold top. We honed them out, polished it back to black and sealed it. Drag across it to compare.

The black and gold marble island before: grey, hazy and etched with pale rings. The same island from the same spot after polishing: deep black, reflecting the window.

How a benchtop is restored.

  1. A black marble bench mid-polish, drop sheets over the floor and cabinets.

    We cover the kitchen.

    Cabinets, splashbacks and the floor go under drop sheets and tape before a machine touches the stone.

  2. A grey stone benchtop before honing, dull where it is used most.

    We hone out the damage.

    Working wet with abrasive pads, coarse to fine, we take the top down below the etch marks and scratches.

  3. The black marble bench polished, the curtains reflected in it, its edge still taped.

    We polish and seal it.

    Finer pads bring back the reflection, or stop at a honed matte finish. A penetrating sealer goes on last.

Benchtop questions.

Can etch marks be removed for good?

The marks we hone out are gone. Marble still reacts to acid, so a new splash of lemon, wine or vinegar can etch it again. Wipe spills up straight away.

Does the benchtop have to come out?

No. It is restored where it sits. We cover the cabinets, splashback and floor first, and the slurry stays on the stone.

How much does it cost?

Each benchtop is priced on its own: the stone, its length and how deep the etching goes. Send photos and a rough length and we’ll quote free.

Honed or polished for a kitchen?

Polished marble reflects light and shows its colour. Honed marble is matte and hides etch marks better, which suits a busy kitchen. We can finish yours to either.

Two different jobs side by side: honed travertine on the left, polished black marble on the right.
Do you do vanities and tables too?

Yes. Vanity tops, bathroom benches and stone tables are honed, polished and sealed the same way.
