There are many DIY projects that homeowners can tackle with a bit of energy and some youtubing how to videos. Polishing marble tiles is not one of those jobs, though. In other words, it takes a professional with experience and the right tools to achieve a gorgeous, uniform shine.
The videos below were from a typical job north of Boston. Vinegar had spilled on the marble tiles, and the acid in the vinegar etched the stone, killing the shine. First we start by diamond honing the marble, buffing it and sealing it with a clear penetrating sealer. As you can see from the brief before and after videos below, polishing marble tiles can make a huge difference! (Apologies on video quality, Hollywood we ain’t!)
If you’re also in the metro Boston area and you have an older marble floor with a cracked marble tile you’d like to have replaced, give us a call! First, we usually do the repair/replacement. After that, we do a diamond honing and polishing on the entire floor. Why bother with the whole floor? Well, the reason is that the new tile will be a high polish compared to the rest of the floor. As a result, that can make the repair stick out like a ‘sore thumb’, definitely not the look you’re going for! If you want to see an example of how that looks, before and after, take a look at this repairing and polishing marble tiles job in Cambridge.
