Those dull white marks on your marble — from a glass of wine, a squeeze of lemon, or even some cleaners — are acid etch marks. They're not stains they can be wiped away; they're surface damage. We grind and re-polish the etched area to blend it perfectly back into your stone, with invisible results.

Marble is made of calcium carbonate — a natural stone that reacts with acid. When an acidic substance touches the surface, it chemically "eats" a tiny amount of the stone, leaving a dull, rough, whitish mark called an etch.
Wine, juice & soda
Even a single spill ring leaves a mark if not cleaned immediately.
Citrus & tomatoes
Lemon, lime, vinegar, and acidic sauces etch on contact.
Many "all-purpose" cleaners
Acidic or ammonia-based cleaners dissolve the polish over time.
Etch vs. stain: A stain is liquid trapped inside the stone's pores (removed with poultices). An etch is damage to the stone's surface (removed by grinding and re-polishing). Etches can't be wiped or scrubbed away — they must be polished out.
Removing an etch means repairing the stone's surface so the mark blends away completely.
We evaluate the depth of the etch mark and the surrounding finish to choose the right abrasive approach.
Diamond abrasives gently resurface the etched area, removing the deteriorated top layer of stone.
We polish the repaired area to match the exact gloss of the surrounding stone, creating a seamless blend.
We recommend and can apply an anti-etch coating to help prevent future acid marks.
