Our Techs Revamped a Vanity Top in Nashville With an Incredible Stone Polishing Service

January 13, 2026

A Nashville resident was disappointed in her cleaning products after seeing the look of her stone surfaces. Her master bathroom had a beautiful marble vanity as its centerpiece, and she was always extra careful during her cleaning routine. Unfortunately, time and regular traffic still took a toll on the stone, dulling its color and hiding most of its natural shine. When the owner tried to add some life to the vanity, her cleaners did little against the marks on the surface, and this was a clear hint that she needed the skills of a stone polishing service in Nashville, TN.


This decision led her to Sir Grout Nashville, and our website answered all her questions about our stone restoration process. The owner was all the more invested after seeing the results in our picture gallery, so she didn't hesitate to give us a call, hoping to hash out the details for an in-home evaluation. Of course, our experts had no trouble meeting her request, and she welcomed us at her doorway that same week.

During the inspection, we recognized clear signs of wear and tear on the vanity, as well as the effects of traditional cleaners. It's not rare for stone surfaces to lose some of their shine after being exposed to water and activity for too long. Unfortunately, the damage caused by regular cleaners is also a factor to consider. Many brands claim to be effective on delicate stone surfaces, often causing serious damage without removing all the stains. The marble's light gray looked duller, and this was only worsened by dozens of marks left by soap and cosmetic products. The marks themselves were not deep, but they still dimmed the stone's shine and worsened its appearance.

When the owner asked about any permanent effects, our specialists reassured her that we could restore the marble's brand-new look. We went over each step of the process and promised that none of the marks on the stone could match Sir Grout's professional equipment. By the end of the appointment, the homeowner had scheduled a new appointment, and she felt much more hopeful after listening to our assessment.

Our experts returned to her house on the agreed-upon date for the restoration. The first step was preparing the surface, so we removed all the old stains with the help of a stone-safe cleaner, wiping the flat surface, the backsplash, and the sink. Our product's cleaning power ensures that no dirt remains on marble surfaces, so homeowners can save time without resorting to multiple formulas while they go about their chores.

To remove etch marks and other signs of damage, our team honed the marble with three sets of diamond pads. We ran the pads several times and adjusted the level of grit as we saw the marks fading from the surface. When the stone had taken a nice matte finish, our specialists applied high-end polishing powders to bring back its natural sheen.

At this point, the vanity had regained all its vibrancy, so our techs only needed to seal the surface. We used a powerful stone sealant to preserve the grain against external elements, including moisture and scratches that would normally leave a lasting mark. After wiping the residue from the vanity, our experts invited the client into the bathroom to check the result.

She was delighted by the vanity's new look. With its shades of gray on full display, the marble had a gorgeous shine that drew the eye from afar. The homeowner thanked our team for delivering such satisfying results and promised to praise our services to all her friends and family in the area.

Before leaving the client's home, we took a moment to share some additional cleaning pointers. Since traditional cleaners had caused so much damage to the vanity in the past, our experts started by introducing the best alternative to replace these products. Our experts told the owner that Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner is the best option to preserve marble surfaces, because it removes all the dirt without subjecting the surface to harsh ingredients. PH-neutral cleaners eliminate all the risks you'd expect from most of the products on the market. There's no risk of discoloration, and the stone can retain its glow and smoothness for much longer. This way, the sealant's protection stays on the stone for months, and homeowners don't have to expose themselves and others to toxic fumes.

The right cleaning tools are also essential to minimize instances of scratching. A steel wool, for instance, is likely to leave marks on the surface, undoing the results of our polishing service. It's much safer to use a towel or a terry cloth to wipe spills, water, soap, or any other elements.

Our specialists concluded the appointment with a general reminder to check the room's ventilation system. If the master bathroom isn't getting enough fresh air, the homeowner could open the windows nearby to improve the air quality in that part of the house.
