restore black marble floor

I hired a couple to do some cleaning and in of the bathrooms there is black marble, and they used a descaler,(at least that's what they told me to get the build-up from the floor) but they ruined it, because now the floor has a white color to it, I don't know how to get this out. What do I need to do to restore this floor to its shine, without it being replaced. thank you

 

Dear Juanita:

 

“ What do I need to do to restore this floor to its shine, without it being replaced. ”

 

There's no need for replacement, but your only option is to hire a bona fide stone restoration contractor who will lightly grind (hone) and then re-polish your stone.

Now, you'd better watch out! I consider stone refinishing as the very pinnacle of all the activities related to stone from a professional point of view. Unfortunately, there are a lot of quacks on the loose out there! You get one of those, and you may even have to kiss your stone bye-bye!

How could you tell a champ from a chomp? Could you trust the recommendation of your local stone distributor, or contractor, or your interior decorator? Hardly!

We have available a very comprehensive article on how to select a bona fide stone restoration contractor, which will give you all the intelligence you need to make a competent choice. It does carry a small price tag, and you can order it by logging on the Educational Literature section 0f our website at:   http://www.mbstone.com/literature/literature.htm. It's available in pay-per-download format and I consider it a cheap “insurance premium” to pay when there are thousands of $ involved! Not to mention the little and much needed support you'd be giving to the cause – YOUR cause, since every single penny of the cost of the article will be used to support it.

Thank you.

Ciao and good luck,
