Marble top restoration

Description:

This South Kensington, London, project concerns restoration of a marble top with limescale deposits and marks attributed in the original notes to unsuitable cleaning products. The record describes restoring its factory-style finish, followed by a solvent-based sealer and wax. The gallery includes views around a sink, where water exposure and cleaning habits are relevant to the stone’s appearance.

Limescale sits on the surface, while acidic cleaners can etch marble itself; these need different treatment. Polishing may improve dull areas, but an established stain or deep damage can require separate work. A sealer can help reduce staining and does not prevent acid etching. The photographs show this specific countertop and cannot guarantee that a different marble will match a factory finish exactly. The original page does not specify the product brands or a fixed service life.
