Marble Floor Restoration Specialists
Marble Floors That Catch the Light Again.
Specialist diamond honing and progressive polishing to bring marble back to its full, natural reflectivity.
Honed, satin or high-gloss — the choice is yours. Free site visit, fixed-price quote.
Marble is one of the most beautiful surfaces you can put on a floor — and one of the most rewarding to bring back. With the right diamond polishing sequence, even a tired, scratched, or etched marble floor can return to the deep clarity and reflectivity that made you choose it in the first place. The stone itself is almost always intact; what you’re seeing on the surface is fixable.
We restore marble floors for homeowners and small commercial sites across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and South West London. Most domestic floors are completed in one to three days using diamond honing, progressive polishing through grits 100 to 3000, and impregnating sealers — the same process used in luxury hotels and listed buildings, scaled to your floor and finished to the sheen you actually want.

We work on Carrara, Calacatta, Crema Marfil, Nero Marquina, Statuario and the other marble varieties commonly used in UK properties.
Each behaves slightly differently — Carrara is forgiving and bright, Calacatta has dramatic veining that needs a finer finish to read properly, Nero Marquina is dark and shows imperfections more readily so demands more care during honing.
We'll match the process to the stone, not the other way round.
- Hallways & entrance halls
- Kitchens & kitchen-diners
- Bathrooms & en-suites
- Staircases & landings
- Period & listed properties
- Hotels, restaurants & receptions

Real restoration, built to last
We hone the marble flat with diamond pads first — physically removing the worn top layer of stone — then polish back through finer grits until the natural reflectivity returns. The result is a finish that’s part of the stone, not sitting on top of it, so it lasts properly.
Honed, satin or high-gloss
Polished marble gives the formal mirror-shine you’d see in a hotel lobby. Honed marble has a softer satin finish that hides daily wear and footprints far better — usually a smarter choice for kitchens, hallways and busy bathrooms. We’ll show you both on a test patch during the site visit so you choose with your eyes, not a brochure.
Fixed price before we start
We come and see the floor, assess the stone type, condition, lippage between tiles, and any cracks or staining. Then we send a written quote — that’s the price you pay. No hourly creep, no surprise add-ons. If anything genuinely changes scope, we agree it with you before doing it.
A Clean Finish
The main grinding and repolishing process is carried out wet, which means there is virtually no airborne dust created. The slurry produced is contained on the floor and vacuumed away rather than tracked through the house. Customers consistently comment on how clean and tidy we leave every job.
One team, one job
Assessment, grinding, honing, polishing, sealing, aftercare — all done by us. No subcontractors, no handoffs between trades, no calling round chasing the right person if something needs adjusting. You deal with the same people from the first phone call to the final walk-through.
Local, established, accountable
Family-run business based in Farnham, fully insured, with great reviews on Google. We’ve worked on everything from period townhouse hallways to commercial reception areas, and we’ll happily put you in touch with previous clients in your area when you’re deciding.

How We Restore Marble Floors
Four stages. We’ll walk you through what applies to your floor during the site visit, run a small test patch where we’re not certain how the stone will respond, and confirm the finish you want before any restoration work begins.
1) Site visit, test patch and fixed-price quote
We come and look at the floor. We identify the marble type, check the previous finish, look for lippage between tiles, assess any cracks or stains, and discuss the finish you want. Where we’re unsure how the stone will respond, we run a small test patch so you see the likely outcome before you commit. You get the price in writing.
2) Grinding and honing — where the real work happens
If tiles are uneven (lippage), we begin with coarser diamonds at around 50 grit to flatten them. Most domestic floors skip this and start at the honing stage with 100, 200 and 400 grit diamond pads, which physically remove scratches, etch marks and the worn top layer of stone. At this point the marble looks clean and matte — the surface is reset, ready for polishing.
3) Polishing through 800, 1500, 3000 grit
Polishing builds the finish back up through progressively finer diamond pads. Each grit removes the scratch pattern from the previous one. A satin or honed finish stops around 800–1500 grit and gives a soft, low-reflection sheen that hides daily wear well. A full polish runs through 3000 grit and produces the high-gloss, mirror-like finish marble is famous for. Both look right when properly executed.
4) Impregnating sealer and aftercare guidance
An impregnating sealer goes into the pores of the stone — it doesn’t sit on top, doesn’t yellow, doesn’t change how the marble looks. It slows the rate at which liquids penetrate, giving you time to wipe up spills before they stain. We finish with a short written aftercare guide: which pH-neutral cleaner to use, what to avoid, and when to think about resealing (typically every two to five years for a domestic floor).

What affects the price?
Marble restoration is quoted as a fixed price after a free site visit. Two floors the same size can need very different amounts of work, which is why we don’t publish a rate per square metre. The quote depends on:
1) The condition of the stone
Light dulling and surface scratches need fewer passes than deep etching, heavy lippage, or stripping a failed previous finish (cheap topical sealers are common and can be a job in themselves to remove).
2) The finish you want
A full high-gloss polish through 3000 grit takes more passes than finishing at honed or satin level. Both look good — your room and lifestyle should drive the choice.
3) Total area and access
Large open rooms are more efficient to work than tight layouts with built-in furniture, narrow doorways, or awkward stair sections. We quote on real working time, not pure square metres.
4) Repairs
Cracks, chips and deep stains can usually be fixed with colour-matched epoxy resin, sometimes followed by re-honing. Extent matters — a couple of chips is straightforward; a floor with multiple damaged tiles takes longer.
5) Sealer choice
Standard impregnating sealers are included in the quote. Colour-enhancing sealers, which deepen the natural tone of the stone without leaving a topical film, are an optional upgrade that suits some marbles better than others .
Frequently Asked Questions About Marble Floor Restoration
How much does marble floor restoration cost?
We quote a fixed price after a free site visit. No rate per square metre, because two floors the same size can need very different amounts of work — the quote depends on the stone’s condition, the finish you want, total area, access, and any repairs needed. You get the price in writing before anything is booked, and that’s the price you pay.
How long will the work take?
Most domestic marble floors are completed in one to three working days. A small hallway can be a single day; a kitchen-diner with heavy etching, or a larger open-plan area, takes longer because more grit passes are needed and the polishing stages can’t be rushed without compromising the finish. We’ll give you a realistic timescale as part of the quote.
What’s the difference between etching and staining?
Staining is when a liquid soaks into the stone and discolours it (coffee, oil, wine residue). Etching is a chemical reaction between an acidic substance and the calcite in the marble — the acid actually eats into the stone, leaving a dull mark. Stains can sometimes be drawn out with poultices; etching has to be honed and polished out. A single wine spill can cause both at once.
Should I choose polished or honed marble?
Polished marble gives the classic mirror-shine and suits formal entrance halls, reception rooms and bathroom suites where the floor is meant to be a feature. Honed marble has a softer satin finish that hides daily wear, footprints, and minor etching far better.
Will the work be messy or disruptive?
We work as cleanly as possible. Our machines use high-extraction vacuum systems, and the main grinding and polishing stages are wet processes — the slurry is contained on the floor and vacuumed away, so there’s virtually no airborne dust. We protect adjoining areas before we start, work around your schedule where we can, and tidy up before we leave. Most homes stay liveable around the work

Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and South West London — including Guildford, Woking, Weybridge, Esher, Cobham, Farnham, Farnborough, Fleet, Basingstoke, Camberley, Ascot, Sunningdale, Windsor, Richmond, Kew, Barnes and Twickenham. For larger commercial sites we’ll travel further where the job is the right fit. Send us your postcode when you enquire and we’ll confirm.
How soon can you start?
We usually respond to new enquiries within a few hours and can often arrange a site visit within a couple of days, including weekends. Booking the work itself depends on diary — typically a week or two from quote acceptance, though we’ll always tell you honestly if it’ll be longer. Urgent commercial jobs we’ll prioritise where we can.
