Why Manchester Homeowners and Businesses Trust Us
Because we don’t rush. We don’t guess. And we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Marble is a living stone — each slab unique in formation, porosity, and wear pattern. What works on one floor could damage another. That’s why every project begins with a proper assessment, not a sales pitch.
From large commercial entrances in Spinningfields to family kitchens in Didsbury, we’ve helped hundreds of clients across Manchester fall back in love with their floors.
“I thought we’d need a new floor. Dan and the team brought it back from the dead. Unreal work.” — Client in Altrincham
What Is Marble Polishing, Really?
Many companies claim to polish marble. Few truly understand it.
Marble polishing is more than just making it shiny. It’s the process of:
- Flattening the surface (removing etch marks, lippage, or scratches)
- Honing to refine the stone and prep it for polish
- Polishing using graded diamond abrasives to restore natural reflection
- Sealing with a breathable professional-grade impregnator (like our UK-made HR Total Finish Matt or Gloss)
Every step matters — and skipping just one can result in:
- Uneven finish
- Shadow marks
- Reduced shine retention
- Vulnerability to staining
This is why we only use dry polishing systems, diamond resin tooling, and pH-balanced cleaners made right here in the UK, specifically designed for the work we do.
Curious what’s possible for your floor? Let’s take a look together.
Our 6-Step Marble Polishing Process
1. Floor Inspection & Moisture Reading We check for underlying damp, surface hardness, and previous coatings or sealers.
2. Machine Honing Using industrial-grade diamond abrasives, we hone the floor to level high spots and remove etching.
3. Edge Detail & Hand Work Every corner and skirting edge is hand-finished. Machines can’t reach these areas — we can.
4. Polishing to Desired Sheen Whether you want a mirror gloss or satin sheen, we deliver consistent clarity throughout.
5. Protective Sealing We apply the appropriate sealer (matt or gloss) to protect the surface and maintain its look.
6. Final Clean Down & Client Walkthrough We leave your space spotless and walk you through aftercare. We even give you a tailored floor care guide.
Common Problems We Fix
- Dull, lifeless marble
- Etch marks from wine, citrus, or cleaning products
- Surface scratches and wear patterns
- Poor DIY polishing attempts
- Lippage (uneven tile edges)
- Incorrect sealer application
If you’ve been told your marble “can’t be saved” — call us before you decide. We’ve restored floors that others walked away from.

Questions You Didn’t Know You Should Ask (But We’ll Answer Anyway)
Will polishing remove scratches and marks? Yes — light to moderate surface damage is removed completely during the honing stage.
Is sealing necessary after polishing? Always. Unsealed marble will absorb spills and etch faster. We’ll advise the right type for your space.
What sheen level should I go for? That depends on the lighting in your room, use of the space, and how much maintenance you’re happy with. We’ll show you both options.
What do you recommend for cleaning marble after polishing? Avoid supermarket cleaners. We provide you with a care pack including pH-neutral cleaner and instructions.
