Marble Restoration in Chicago

Dull, etched, scratched or chipped marble doesn’t need to be replaced. Prestige Grout, Marble & Granite has restored marble floors, countertops, vanities and showers in Chicago homes and condos for over 18 years, from high-rise condos in Streeterville, River North and the Gold Coast to vintage homes in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Old Town, the West Loop and Wicker Park. We bring it back to looking like new for a fraction of the cost of new stone.

Marble is beautiful, but it’s soft and reacts to acids like lemon juice, wine, coffee and the wrong cleaners. That’s what causes the dull rings and spots you see on countertops and floors. Our technicians hone and polish the surface, repair chips and cracks, and protect the stone so it stays looking great.

Every job starts with a free estimate. Text us a few photos and we can usually give you an idea of what your marble needs before we ever come out.

Marble Repair and Polishing in Chicago

We can restore your stone back to its original beauty using one or more of the following:

Every marble restoration starts with figuring out what the stone needs. Light etching and dullness can usually be honed and polished out. Deeper scratches, worn traffic paths and uneven tiles need grinding first, then honing and polishing in steps until the finish is even again.

  • Etch removal: dull rings and spots from acids are honed out and the finish restored.
  • Honing and polishing: we can bring back a high shine or give it a soft honed finish, whichever you prefer.
  • Chip and crack repair: chips, cracks and broken edges are filled and shaped to blend in with the stone.
  • Sealing and protection: we seal floors and showers, and for kitchen countertops we offer MORE AntiEtch with a lifetime warranty against etching and staining.

What We Restore in Chicago Homes

Marble floors, countertops, islands, vanities, showers, fireplaces and tables

Most of our Chicago marble work is in kitchens and bathrooms. That means marble islands and countertops with etch marks, bathroom vanities with dull rings, and marble floors and showers that have lost their shine. We also restore marble fireplace surrounds, tabletops and entryways.

Whether it’s a single vanity top or a whole condo of marble floors, we treat it the same way: protect your home, do the job right, and leave it clean.

Recent Project: Marble Island Refinished and Protected in Chicago, IL

Before and after of a white marble waterfall island in Chicago, IL changed from a polished to a honed finish with MORE AntiEtch protection

This Chicago homeowner had a beautiful white marble waterfall island with a high-gloss polished finish. They wanted it to look great and hold up better to everyday life in a busy kitchen.

Our team honed the entire island, including the waterfall edges, converting it from a polished finish to a soft, matte honed finish. We then installed MORE AntiEtch, a protective layer that helps guard marble against etching from acidic foods and drinks like lemon, wine and coffee.

The result is the same natural marble with a modern, low-glare look, and a countertop that’s far easier to live with.

Polished or honed marble: which is better for a kitchen?

Polished marble has a mirror-like shine, but etch marks from acidic spills show up as dull spots against the gloss. A honed finish is matte, so everyday wear is much less noticeable. Pairing a honed finish with AntiEtch protection is one of the most practical options for marble kitchens.

Can you change marble from polished to honed?

Yes. Marble can be honed to a matte finish or polished back to a shine without replacing the stone. We do both throughout Chicago and the suburbs.
