Damaged Marble TIles

Hi There I have some green 'Verde' Marble tiles in my bathroom that have been stained by a limescale cleaner. Wondering what is required to remove the stains and restore the tiles. Please let me know.
 

Dear Jonathan:

If it were regular calcareous marble I would suggest you to try with a Marble Repair Kit, but it wouldn't work on green marble (serpentinite or ophicalcite).

Under the circumstances, your only option is to hire a stone restoration contractor that will have to lightly grind (hone) the surface of your damaged tiles and then bring them up to par to the rest by polishing them.

This is assuming that you can find a stone restoration contractor that gets involved with green marble, that is.

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?

Ciao and good luck,

Mauri z io Bertoli
