Marble Restoration Melbourne is a timeless investment that adds unparalleled elegance to any Melbourne home. However, as a porous natural stone, it is susceptible to etching, scratching, and dulling over time. If your surfaces have lost their lustre, professional marble restoration Melbourne is the only way to return them to their original showroom finish.
At Aus Floor Care, we specialise in reviving tired, damaged stone through a meticulous multi-stage process. Whether it’s a heritage floor in Camberwell or a modern kitchen benchtop in the CBD, we provide tailored solutions for every stone type.
Many homeowners attempt to use DIY “shine” products, which often contain waxes that trap dirt and lead to yellowing. True marble restoration Melbourne involves a mechanical process that avoids chemical buildup.
Diamond-Impregnated Pads: We use progressive grits to mechanically refine the surface.
Deep-Set Glow: This creates a breathable shine that lasts significantly longer than topical store-bought chemicals.
Local Expertise: Our team understands how Melbourne’s climate and hard water can affect stone surfaces over time.
Our Comprehensive Stone Resurfacing Process
To achieve a flawless finish, we follow a rigorous protocol. This isn’t just a quick clean; it is a full stone resurfacing and repair cycle.
1. Marble Grinding & Leveling
For floors with “lippage” (uneven tiles) or deep scratches, we utilize industrial-grade marble grinding equipment. This flattens the surface, creating a monolithic look that is easier to clean.
2. Marble Honing & Etch Removal
If you notice “water rings” or dull spots, marble restoration Melbourne technicians use honing to remove acid etching. This step prepares the stone for its final finish—whether you prefer a sophisticated matte satin or a mirror-like high-gloss.
3. Precision Surface Top Repair: Cracks & Chips
Damage to high-use areas is common in busy kitchens. Our surface top repair service addresses hairline cracks and chips using colour-matched resins. This specialized marble chip repair ensures that the damage is virtually invisible, blending perfectly with the stone’s natural veining.

High-Tech Protection: Antibacterial Protective Film
While traditional marble sealing is vital, we now offer a revolutionary Antibacterial Protective Film for the ultimate protection of your benchtops.
This nano-tech transparent film is a game-changer for marble restoration Melbourne:
Total Protection: It guards against stains, scratches, and acid etching that standard sealers cannot stop.
Hygienic Surface: Features active antibacterial properties, perfect for food preparation areas.
Choice of Finish: Available in matte or high-gloss to suit your decor.
Durable: This film is designed to withstand the rigours of a modern kitchen while keeping your stone looking brand new.
When to Seek Marble Stain and Scratch Removal
If your stone feels textured or looks “cloudy,” it’s time for professional intervention. Our marble stain removal techniques penetrate deep into the pores to lift stubborn discolouration. Our marble scratch removal process then ensures a smooth, uniform texture across the entire slab.
Regular maintenance is key. Check out our Marble Page to see how you can extend the life of your surfaces between professional visits.
