Marble and granite surfaces add lasting beauty and value to your home — but like anything else, they’re not immune to wear and tear. Chips, cracks, dull spots, or staining can slowly diminish the elegance of your countertops, floors, or vanities over time.


At Prestige Marble & Granite, we specialize in restoring the natural brilliance of your stone surfaces with professional repair and restoration services. Whether it's a minor crack or a full surface refresh, here's what you need to know about when (and why) it's worth calling in the experts.

🪨 Why Natural Stone Needs Maintenance

Granite and marble are incredibly durable — but not indestructible. Over the years, you might notice:

  • Surface scratches and etching

  • Chips along edges or corners

  • Dullness from heavy use or improper cleaning

  • Stains from acidic substances (especially on marble)

  • Loose seams or grout

  • Loss of shine or uneven finish


These issues can impact not only the look of your stone but also its structural integrity and hygiene.


🛠️ What’s the Difference Between Repair and Restoration?

Stone repair focuses on fixing specific damage:

  • Filling chips and cracks

  • Reattaching loose pieces or edges

  • Repairing seams or joints


Restoration, on the other hand, brings the entire surface back to life:

  • Deep cleaning and stain removal

  • Grinding down etch marks or uneven areas

  • Honing and polishing to restore the original finish

  • Resealing to protect against future damage


💡 Most surfaces benefit from both — especially if the stone hasn’t been professionally maintained in years.


🧼 Common Problems We Fix

At Prestige Marble & Granite, we’ve seen it all. Some of the most common repair and restoration needs include:

  • Etched marble bathroom vanities from soap, toothpaste, or skincare products

  • Chipped granite countertops from dropped pots or heavy objects

  • Stained kitchen surfaces from wine, citrus, or cooking oils

  • Dull entryway floors that have lost their shine over time

  • Cracked or uneven seams between slabs or backsplashes


We use specialized tools and techniques to restore your surfaces without replacing them, saving you time and money.


🔐 The Importance of Professional Stone Resealing

Marble and granite are naturally porous. Without a strong sealant, liquids can seep in and cause permanent staining or bacterial growth. That’s why part of every restoration project we do includes resealing your surface with high-quality protectants.


Not sure if your stone is properly sealed? Try this:Sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If the stone darkens quickly, it’s time for a new seal.
