Can all marble be polished to a high gloss?
And how to get the finish you really want—without the mess, risk or guesswork.
Can all marble be polished?
Imagine walking in tomorrow morning… your marble reflects the ceiling lines and skylight blues, joints are crisp, and the floor feels silky under bare feet.
Now ask: can every marble do that?
Truth: not every stone behaves the same—but almost every floor can look far better than it does today when it’s restored the right way.
Why some marble shines more (and how yours can too)
Stone makeup & flatness. Dense calcite and flatter tiles reach higher gloss.
Micro-damage. Scratches and etch marks scatter light—remove them, clarity returns.
The method. Coatings look shiny for a moment; true polish is created inside the stone by precision honing and refinement.
When you restore, then polish, the finish isn’t painted on—it’s born from the stone.
(Embedded command: choose restoration over quick shine.)

FAQ
Can all marble be polished to a high gloss?
Most can reach very high gloss when flatness is good and micro-damage is honed away. Some open-pore/filled stones top out slightly lower; we prove what’s possible with a test patch.
Will it be slippery?
We can finish at satin or high-gloss and advise on mats/care. Satin hides wear best in busy kitchens.
How long does it take?
Typical rooms: 1–3 days; full homes or re-grout/repairs: longer. You’ll get exact timings with your plan.
Is there lots of dust?
Our process is controlled; we protect adjacent areas, manage slurry and keep the home livable.
How long will it last?
With the care plan we provide, the finish holds beautifully. Most clients book a light refresh rather than a full restoration later.
