Marble Fireplace painted over |
Article Number: 862 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Mon, Dec 3, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
Have recently had a paint stripping company remove several layers of paint and wall paper believe it or not from a fire place in a 125+ year old tenemant flat I am renovating. Initially we thought what was left was a dark grey/back slate stone - however the paint stripping company now believe the fireplace is white marble and had been painted over!! NIGHTMARE!!! Can this be restored? If so how? Can I do it myself? Or is it too late and the paint has soaked completely into the stone and the damage is irreversible!!! please, please help! I am gutted that previous occupants of this house have been so stupid!!
Dear Michelle:
“
Can this be restored? If so how?
”
It sure can! By a bona fide stone restoration contractor.
“
Can I do it myself?
”
No.
The good news is that no paint could ever soak into marble, and therefore I can be restored. It will be probably be a very expensive proposition, but it can be done by the right professional.
Ciao and good luck,
Maurizio Bertoli
