Our Stone Polishing Experts Restored the Shine of This Beautiful Countertop in Phoenix

June 03, 2025

If you've ever seen a marble vanity, we don't have to tell you about how the marble's glow can make a room ten times more elegant. Marble is a popular option for kitchen and bathroom surfaces, but that also means that it's exposed to various external elements that could dull its shine. A homeowner in Phoenix was determined to restore the glossy appearance of her bathroom counter, and she knew that regular cleaners wouldn't deliver the desired result.


When she started her online search, the homeowner was ready to look through different options, so she never expected to come across the perfect solution so early on. Sir Grout Phoenix was the first option to pop up on her Google search results, and after a few minutes on our website, the owner couldn't imagine trusting someone else with her marble counter. She read as much as she could about our stone polishing service in Phoenix before contacting us via the website's online scheduler. Later that week, our techs were at her doorstep for an in-home evaluation.

We were led to the master bathroom, and once in there, we fully understood the homeowner's concerns. The large marble surface was the room's centerpiece, and its shine should make the bathroom area look luminous and elegant. Instead, the stone looked worn down, and no matter where you stood, its color looked muted. Our techs could also see etch marks on the areas around the sink, likely caused by different products and tools grazing the vanity top.

Bathroom counters are high-traffic surfaces, so there's no avoiding the effects of wear and tear. Still, regular cleaners can add to the problem by corroding the stone and triggering discoloration. We explained all this to the client before outlining our stone restoration process. When we were done, she thanked our specialists and scheduled a new appointment for the restoration.

On the agreed-upon date, our experts returned to the house with all the necessary equipment to work on the marble surface. First, we deep cleaned the entire counter with a stone-safe formula that allowed us to scrub off the embedded dirt without any issues.

In minutes, the entire marble surface looked spotless, so it was time to restore its shine. Our crew removed all the etch marks with the help of different diamond pads. We only stopped when the stone had a matte finish and used special polishing powders to make its glow look more natural.

The last step was applying stone sealant on the surface to protect it against external elements. Our sealant is designed to counter the effects of wear and tear, repelling moisture, soap residue, and other external elements. This way, you can go for longer without worrying about etch marks on high-traffic areas while preserving the beauty of natural stone surfaces.

Our techs completed the restoration and called the client into the room so she could assess the result. As expected, she was in awe. The marble's glow could be seen from afar, and every inch of the counter, including the backsplash on the walls, looked smooth. After thanking our team for the restoration, the owner promised to praise our services to all the people she knew.

At the end of the appointment, our experts went over the most important tips for the maintenance of natural stone surfaces. First, we stressed the importance of avoiding bleach and soap-based cleaners to avoid marks and discoloration. pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are much more effective at removing the stains left by spills and moisture, saving time without subjecting marble surfaces to harsh ingredients. A regular cleaning routine should include pH-neutral cleaners and non-abrasive tools like a towel or a terry cloth. This way, homeowners can do a thorough job without unknowingly worsening the risks of etch marks on high-traffic surfaces. A weekly cleaning routine with the right tools is crucial for the maintenance of a marble vanity, where small scratches and stains could easily draw all the attention.

Our experts also recommended assessing the air quality inside the master bathroom. Moisture buildup is a common consequence of poor ventilation, and bathroom spaces often get stuffy, even when other parts of the house are equipped with a powerful ventilation system. Since constant circulation of fresh air is crucial to preserve marble and other hard surfaces, we always suggest opening the windows and doors in different parts of the house.
