Our Techs Revived a Vanity in Nolensville with a Thorough Stone Polishing Service

January 11, 2024

A homeowner in Nolensville, TN, wasn't satisfied with the appearance of her vanity. She'd been looking after her bathroom surfaces for years, so she could easily pinpoint the moment when the marble surface started losing its shine. The marks that stood out on the flat surface were even more concerning, and a clear sign that it was time to look for a stone polishing service in Nolensville.


She found Sir Grout Nashville less than a minute into her search and, once she saw the results in our picture gallery, there was no going back. The homeowner knew that our crew's expertise would help her with her problem so she called us to ask for more information. Her conversation with our agent only increased her confidence and she ended the call with a request for an in-home evaluation later that week.

As scheduled, our techs were at her house a few days later, ready to inspect the vanity in her master bathroom. From the get-go, they could tell that the Emperador marble had seen better days. The lack of shine made the stone look dull and several etch marks marred the flat surface. After inspecting the vanity, our experts asked about the cleaning products that were used during the chores. The homeowner had tried using some traditional cleaners and a homemade solution made of vinegar and water to remove the stains. Many people take this approach to improve the appearance of hard surfaces, but these products actually do more harm than good. As our techs explained, harsh ingredients can alter the color of natural stone surfaces without making any progress once the first signs of etching start to appear. Luckily, the homeowner didn't let the problem last for long before contacting us, so our techs were confident in their ability to restore the vanity in a single session.

At the client's request, they returned to her house the following day with all the necessary equipment. They prepared the area and deep cleaned the vanity with a stone-safe formula to ensure that no residue would damage the marble later on.
For the next step, they honed the vanity with three sets of diamond pads, increasing the grit as they worked through all the etch marks. They repeated the process until the stone had a nice matte finish and went on to use special polishing powders to restore its natural sheen. Once they ensured that all the imperfections had been addressed, our techs applied stone sealant, ensuring the best protection against liquids, wear and tear, and other external factors.

At that point, the Emperor marble looked as good as new and the vanity had regained its natural elegance. The homeowner saw the improvement right away and she was delighted by the quality of our polishing job.

When she asked about an alternative to traditional cleaners, our techs were happy to share their recommendations. As they told the client, pH-neutral cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are the ideal solution to remove stains and preserve natural stone surfaces at the same time. Our cleaner can be used on the regular and homeowners don't have to worry about discoloration or damage to the sealant. Instead, they'll get beautiful surfaces that keep their glow for hours at a time. Because our product combines only the most effective ingredients to ensure the desired result, you can also rule out the risk of toxic fumes contaminating your living spaces, so it's an upgrade from all ends.

Our specialists also went over the right tools to use when cleaning delicate marble surfaces. You can get rid of most stains with nothing more than a surface-safe cleaner and a clean towel or a terry cloth. This will also slow down the signs of etching on high-traffic surfaces like the bathroom vanity. Our last recommendation was to keep the bathroom well ventilated to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
