Project Overview
N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration recently restored marble countertops in a kitchen in Greensboro, Georgia. Over time, the marble had developed etching, dull spots, and signs of everyday wear.
The homeowner knew she did not want the marble to be too shiny, but she wasn’t sure which finish would look best. We decided to hone the marble first and then show her finish options so she could choose the look she liked.

Restoration Process
Diamond Honing
We diamond honed the marble to remove etching, dull areas, and surface wear. Honing removes a very thin layer from the surface of the stone. This creates a smooth, even surface and brings the marble back to life.
Choosing the Finish
Marble can be finished in several ways, from a soft honed finish to a high polish.
Once the honing was complete, we showed the homeowner different levels of shine. She wanted some sheen, but did not want the countertops to look too shiny.
She chose a low-polish finish. This gave the marble a soft, natural look with just enough shine to bring out the beauty of the stone.
Restoring the Marble Island
The marble kitchen island was also honed to remove etching and wear. We then gave it the same low-polish finish so all of the marble surfaces worked well together.
Final Touches
After the restoration was complete, we carefully cleaned the countertops and work area. The kitchen was left clean and ready to use.
Results
The marble countertops now have a smooth, even surface with a soft, low-polish finish. The etching, dull spots, and signs of wear are gone.
The homeowner was able to choose the amount of shine she wanted after seeing the restored stone. This is one of the benefits of professional marble restoration. Marble can be honed, satin finished, low polished, or highly polished depending on the look you want.
