Our Approach
Marble restoration isn't a commodity. Two companies can stand in the same room, use different methods, and deliver results that look similar on day one, but hold up very differently over time.
If you're shopping for the lowest price, we're probably not the right fit. Low bids usually mean shortcuts: less surface preparation, fewer refinement steps, cheaper compounds, or rushing the finish. That can leave the stone looking good briefly, but more prone to dulling, etching, and uneven wear sooner than it should.
Our pricing reflects the level of work required to restore the stone properly and protect it so it stays looking right. We take the time to correct the surface, refine the finish evenly, and apply the right protection for the stone and the environment.
Every project starts with a free on-site estimate. After we see the surface, we'll explain what needs to be done, why it matters, and provide a firm quote before any work begins — no surprises.
What We Solve
Problem
Daily wear and improper cleaning gradually remove marble's polish. Your once-glossy surfaces look flat and lifeless.
Solution
Professional honing and polishing restores the original factory finish, bringing back the deep, reflective shine.
Problem
Wine, lemon, vinegar, and common cleaners contain acids that dissolve marble's surface, leaving dull spots and ring marks.
Solution
Specialized acid damage repair removes etching and restores a uniform, polished surface.
Problem
Foot traffic, dragged furniture, and everyday use leave micro-scratches that accumulate over time, creating a worn appearance.
Solution
Multi-step grinding and polishing eliminates scratches and brings marble back to a like-new condition.
Problem
Marble is porous and absorbs liquids, causing stubborn stains from wine, oil, coffee, and everyday spills that cleaning can't remove.
Solution
Professional stain extraction and poultice treatments draw out deep stains, followed by sealing to prevent future absorption.
What We Solve
Problem
Surface cleaning can't remove years of embedded dirt and stains. The grout looks discolored no matter how much you scrub.
Solution
Professional steam cleaning and deep extraction removes years of buildup. For permanent stains, color sealing provides a fresh, uniform coat.
Problem
Black mold growing in shower and bathroom grout is unsanitary and indicates moisture penetration behind the tiles.
Solution
Antimicrobial treatment kills mold at the source. We then apply color sealing to create a waterproof barrier that prevents future growth.
Problem
Deteriorating grout allows water to seep behind tiles, damaging the substrate and potentially causing tiles to loosen.
Solution
Careful removal of damaged grout and proper re-grouting with fresh material. We can color-match or change the grout color entirely.
Problem
Tired of your current grout color? Want a fresh look without the cost of retiling?
Solution
Grout color sealing offers dozens of color options. Choose any color to transform the look of your tiled surfaces permanently.

Common Questions
In most cases, cracked marble can be fully repaired without replacement. Manhattan Stone Care uses industrial-grade injection epoxies that bond the stone at a molecular level for hairline cracks, and steel or fiberglass rodding reinforcement for deeper structural cracks near sinks, cooktops, or high-stress areas. The repair surface is then sanded, polished, and sealed for an invisible finish. We've been repairing marble in Manhattan since 1999. Replacement is only necessary in rare cases where the stone is shattered or structurally unsound. Call (212) 401-4036 for a free evaluation of your cracked marble.
Manhattan Stone Care repairs virtually every type of marble damage: cracks, chips, gouges, scratches, acid etching (from wine, lemon, vinegar, cleaners), deep-set stains (oil, coffee, rust), dull spots, and separated seams between slabs. We also repair broken corners, chipped edges, and surface pitting. Each repair is color-matched to your stone's specific veining and base color, then polished flush for an invisible result. With over 175,000 projects completed since 1999, we've seen and fixed it all. Call (212) 401-4036 to describe your marble damage.
No. When performed by an experienced professional, marble repairs are completely invisible. Manhattan Stone Care color-matches resins and epoxies to your specific stone's base color and veining pattern on-site. After curing, the repair is sanded flush and polished to match the surrounding finish — whether high-gloss, honed, or matte. You won't be able to tell where the damage was. This level of invisibility comes from 27+ years of specializing exclusively in natural stone. Call (212) 401-4036 to see examples of our invisible marble repairs.
An etch mark is physical damage — acid from wine, lemon, vinegar, or harsh cleaners dissolves the calcium carbonate in marble, leaving a dull, lighter-colored spot that can't be cleaned away. A stain is absorption — liquid penetrates marble's microscopic pores, leaving discoloration beneath the surface. Etch marks require diamond honing to restore the surface. Stains require poultice extraction to pull the substance out. Manhattan Stone Care treats both conditions with professional-grade techniques refined over 27+ years. Call (212) 401-4036 to have your marble professionally assessed.
Most marble repairs in Manhattan are completed in 4-6 hours. Simple chip repairs can take as little as 1-2 hours. Countertop resurfacing for multiple etches and scratches typically takes 4-6 hours. Full crack repair with rodding reinforcement may require a full day. Your home is fully usable the same day the work is completed. Manhattan Stone Care works efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. Call (212) 401-4036 for a time estimate on your specific repair.
Marble repair pricing depends on the condition of the stone and how much surface area needs work — there's no flat rate because every piece of marble tells a different story. A small chip on a vanity might need minimal attention, while a countertop covered in etch marks and scratches requires more extensive sanding and refinishing across a larger area. The process typically involves repairing the damaged spots, sanding to level the surface, and refinishing before moving to the final finish. That final finish — whether a honed (matte) or polished (glossy) look — is entirely up to you and your aesthetic preference. Manhattan Stone Care provides a free on-site assessment and firm written quote so you know exactly what your specific repair will cost before any work begins. Call (212) 401-4036 to schedule your free estimate.
Professional marble polishing uses industrial diamond abrasives in a progressive sequence — from coarse grinding to ultra-fine polishing — that physically removes a microscopic layer of stone to reveal a flawless surface beneath. DIY products and "marble polish" sprays are topical coatings that temporarily mask dullness but wash away. Manhattan Stone Care uses the same diamond polishing systems found in stone fabrication shops, restoring a true mirror-like finish that lasts for years with proper maintenance. Since 1999, we've diamond-polished thousands of marble surfaces across Manhattan. Call (212) 401-4036 for a professional assessment.
Yes. Even marble floors that have been dull for decades can be restored to a mirror-like shine through professional diamond polishing. The process uses industrial-grade diamond abrasives in a progressive sequence that grinds away years of wear, scratches, and etching, then refines the surface to a high-gloss finish. Manhattan Stone Care has restored marble floors in Manhattan's finest pre-war buildings, many of which hadn't been polished since they were installed 80+ years ago. The transformation is dramatic. Call (212) 401-4036 for an on-site evaluation of your marble floors.
Marble polishing produces a glossy, mirror-like reflective finish using progressively finer diamond abrasives. Marble honing creates a smooth, matte or satin finish with low reflectivity — popular for high-traffic areas where scratches would be more visible on polished surfaces. The right finish depends on the room, usage, and your aesthetic preference. Many Manhattan homeowners choose honed finishes for bathroom floors (less slippery) and polished finishes for entryways and living areas. Manhattan Stone Care provides both services throughout Manhattan. Call (212) 401-4036 to discuss your options.
Professional diamond marble polishing typically lasts 3-7 years in residential settings, depending on foot traffic and maintenance. High-traffic areas like entryways and kitchens may need repolishing sooner than low-traffic bathrooms. Manhattan Stone Care applies a penetrating sealer after polishing to extend the life of the finish. We also provide care recommendations specific to your stone type and usage patterns. Many of our Manhattan clients schedule maintenance polishing every 3-5 years to keep their marble looking immaculate. Call (212) 401-4036 for a polishing consultation.
Manhattan Stone Care uses 100% dustless wet-polishing technology — there are no dry methods used on any job, so dust is eliminated at the source, not just filtered after the fact. We protect surrounding areas with floor coverings, plastic sheeting, and containment barriers before starting any work. We also handle all furniture moving and resetting. When we leave, your marble is polished and your home is clean — our clients are consistently surprised by how little mess there is. This level of dust control is standard for every project we complete in Manhattan. Call (212) 401-4036 to discuss your marble polishing project.

Marble restoration is a comprehensive process that includes deep cleaning, diamond grinding to remove damage, honing to refine the surface, polishing to the desired finish level, and penetrating sealer application to protect against future staining and etching. Depending on your marble's condition, restoration may also include crack repair, chip filling, stain extraction, lippage removal (leveling uneven tiles), and grout restoration. Manhattan Stone Care assesses every surface and creates a customized restoration plan — never a one-size-fits-all approach. Call (212) 401-4036 to schedule your marble evaluation.
In virtually all cases, yes. Professional marble restoration costs a fraction of full replacement — typically $500-$2,000 versus $5,000-$15,000+ for new stone plus demolition and installation. Restoration preserves original stone that may no longer be quarried, which is especially important in historic Manhattan pre-war buildings where matching existing marble is difficult or impossible. Restoration is completed in days, not the weeks required for replacement. Manhattan Stone Care has restored marble that other contractors said needed to be replaced. Call (212) 401-4036 to have your marble professionally evaluated before making a costly replacement decision.
Marble restoration pricing in Manhattan is based on the condition of your stone and the total square footage of the surface being restored — those are the two biggest factors that determine cost. Heavily worn marble with deep scratches, etching, and lippage requires more labor and diamond abrasive steps than marble that just needs a light polish, and larger areas naturally involve more work than smaller ones. Stone type also plays a role, as denser marbles require different techniques. Kitchen countertops typically range from $500-$2,000. Bathroom vanities: $200-$500. Floor restoration generally runs $3-$8 per square foot depending on condition. Every project receives a free, no-obligation on-site assessment where we evaluate the condition and measure the square footage, then provide a firm written quote before any work begins. Manhattan Stone Care never has hidden fees or surprise charges. Call (212) 401-4036 to schedule your free estimate.
Manhattan Stone Care restores all natural stone types found in Manhattan properties: marble (Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario, Emperador, Crema Marfil, Nero Marquina), granite, travertine, limestone, terrazzo, onyx, slate, flagstone, bluestone, and engineered stone/quartzite. Each stone type requires specific diamond abrasives, techniques, and sealers. Our technicians are trained in the unique restoration requirements of every stone variety. Call (212) 401-4036 to identify and restore your stone.
Most residential marble restoration projects in Manhattan are completed in 4-8 hours. Kitchen countertops: 4-6 hours. Bathrooms: 3-5 hours.

Insights
Expert guidance from Manhattan's trusted marble restoration team. Based on real questions from property owners across NYC.
Yes, marble countertops can absolutely be repaired. Because marble is a relatively soft, calcium-based natural stone, it is highly receptive to structural reconstruction, chip patching, and resurfacing techniques that can make past damage completely invisible. Manhattan Stone Care has been repairing marble countertops across Manhattan NY for over 27 years.
Chips and Gouges: Technicians fill the missing void with a liquid acrylic or polyester resin. They blend pigments on-site to match your stone's base color and veining, cure it with a UV light, and sand it flush. The result is invisible to the eye.
Cracks and Fractures: Hairline cracks are stabilized by injecting thin, high-penetration epoxies. For deep cracks near sinks or cooktops, a groove is cut underneath the slab to insert a steel or fiberglass reinforcing rod — called "rodding" — to stop the stone from flexing and breaking again.
Dull Etch Marks: Acidic liquids like lemon juice, vinegar, or wine chemically burn the calcium in marble, leaving white, dull rings. These are not stains; they are surface damage. Pros remove them by lightly honing the area with diamond-grit pads to reveal fresh stone underneath.
Deep Stains: Cooking oils, rust, or red wine can seep into marble's porous structure. Technicians apply a specialized chemical poultice paste over the area, tape it down, and let it sit for 24 to 48 hours to literally pull the embedded stain out of the stone.
Separated Seams: Over time, house settling or heat can cause the epoxy joins between two slabs to crack or discolor. Repair teams scrape out the old adhesive, re-level the seams using specialized suction cups, and re-glue them with fresh, color-matched epoxy.
Manhattan Stone Care specializes in marble countertop repair throughout Manhattan NY. Whether it's a chipped edge on a pre-war Carrara countertop, a deep wine stain on a Calacatta island, or etch marks across an entire kitchen surface — we've seen it and repaired it. We handle everything: the repair itself, furniture shifting, dust containment, and final sealing. Fully licensed and insured. Call (212) 401-4036 for a free marble countertop repair consultation.
The deep, reflective shine of polished marble floors is what makes them unmistakably luxurious. But that high-gloss finish is fragile. Daily wear — even just walking across a marble floor — creates micro-scratches that scatter light and dull the surface. Over time, the marble loses its clarity and depth. Professional marble floor polishing restores that signature Manhattan shine.
Marble floor polishing uses industrial diamond abrasives in a sequence of progressively finer grits. The process rebuilds the surface at a microscopic level, creating a perfectly flat plane that reflects light uniformly. The result is a crisp, mirror-like finish that reveals the stone's natural veining and color in full detail. For Manhattan properties, marble floor polishing transforms tired, dull floors into showpiece surfaces.
Manhattan Stone Care uses professional-grade diamond floor polishing systems. Marble floor polishing is available throughout Manhattan for floors, hallways, lobbies, and entryways. Floor polishing also pairs naturally with sealing — once the surface is restored, an impregnating sealer is applied to protect against oil and water-based stains. We've performed thousands of marble floor polishing projects across every Manhattan neighborhood since 1999.
When marble surfaces show significant wear, many Manhattan property owners ask whether to restore or replace. The answer almost always favors restoration — and here's why.
Professional marble restoration costs a fraction of full replacement. New stone fabrication and installation — including demolition, materials, and labor — can run many times higher than restoring what you already have. For most Manhattan property owners, restoration delivers like-new results at a dramatically lower cost.
Beyond cost, restoration preserves the original stone. In Manhattan's pre-war buildings, the marble installed decades ago may no longer be quarried. Carrara from specific Italian quarries, for example, has distinct veining patterns that cannot be replicated with today's stone. Restoration keeps that original character intact.
Restoration is also significantly faster. Countertop restoration takes hours, not days or weeks. There is no demolition dust, no construction permits, no building board approval processes. For Manhattan co-ops and condos with strict renovation rules, this is a major advantage. When is replacement the better option? Only when the marble is physically cracked through, structurally compromised, or when you want to change the stone type entirely.
Marble bathrooms and showers face some of the toughest conditions in any Manhattan home. Constant moisture, soap residue, hard water minerals, and cleaning products combine to dull, stain, and etch marble surfaces. Over time, shower floors lose their grip, walls develop cloudy film, and grout becomes discolored or moldy.
Professional marble bathroom restoration addresses all of these issues. The process starts with deep cleaning to remove soap scum, hard water deposits, and mineral buildup. Then diamond honing and polishing restore the marble's finish. For shower floors, a light honing can restore slip resistance. Grout is deep-cleaned with steam extraction, and color sealing is applied to create a waterproof barrier that resists mold and staining.
A critical part of marble shower restoration is sealing. Once the stone and grout are restored, a penetrating sealer is applied to protect against water absorption. This extends the life of the restoration and makes routine cleaning easier. Manhattan Stone Care has restored marble bathrooms in every type of Manhattan residence: pre-war co-ops on Park Avenue, luxury condos in Hudson Yards, historic townhouses in the West Village, and commercial spas and hotels. Most bathroom restorations are completed in a single day.
Manhattan's architecture spans over a century of building styles, and the marble found in these buildings reflects that history. Understanding what type of marble you have helps determine the right restoration approach.
Carrara Marble: White to light gray with soft, feathery gray veining. The most common marble in Manhattan — found in pre-war bathroom floors and walls, fireplace surrounds, and classic kitchen countertops. Quarried in Carrara, Italy. Relatively soft and prone to etching, but restores beautifully.
Calacatta Marble: Bright white with bold, dramatic gray and gold veining. Rarer and more expensive than Carrara. Frequently installed in luxury renovations in Upper East Side and Tribeca residences. Often used for kitchen islands and master bathroom vanities.
Statuario Marble: Pure white background with distinctive gray veining. Prized for its sculptural quality. Found in high-end Manhattan lobbies and luxury residential entries. Requires careful, experienced handling during restoration.
Emperador Marble: Rich brown tones ranging from light to dark, with irregular white veining. Common in Manhattan building lobbies, hallways, and bathrooms from mid-century construction. Denser than white marbles and polishes to a deep gloss.
Crema Marfil: Warm beige with subtle veining. Popular in 1990s-2000s Manhattan condominium bathrooms. Softer and more porous than many marbles, requiring thorough sealing after restoration.
Nero Marquina: Deep black with striking white veining. Used in contemporary Manhattan interiors for dramatic contrast — often in powder rooms, accent walls, and flooring borders.
Manhattan Stone Care restores all marble types, as well as travertine, limestone, onyx, terrazzo, and granite. Each stone receives a restoration plan tailored to its mineral composition, hardness, and condition. Call (212) 401-4036 to identify and restore your marble.
