Marble Polishing
Honed, semi-polished, or high-gloss finishes for floors, counters, stairs, and vanities.
Marble bathroom, shower, vanity and threshold restoration in Brossard, the South Shore, Montreal and Laval. Etching, stains, polishing and sealing.
Marble bathrooms age differently from marble floors in dry rooms. Water, soap, shampoo, hard minerals, cosmetics, humidity and daily cleaning products all affect the finish. A marble shower can look cloudy even when it is cleaned often. A vanity can show rings, acid marks and dull patches around the sink. A threshold can darken, stain or chip because it sits where water and foot traffic meet.
I am Gen Schiavone of Techni-Marbre. I restore marble bathrooms, showers, vanities, tub surrounds, thresholds and bathroom floors across Brossard, the South Shore, Montreal and Laval. My goal is to bring back a clean, even finish while respecting the stone, the moisture conditions and how the bathroom is used.
Bathroom marble is not only a polishing job. Before choosing a finish, I look at the stone, grout, caulking, water exposure, ventilation, staining and sealer condition. That inspection helps avoid covering up a moisture problem or polishing a surface that first needs cleaning, repair or stain treatment.
Gen can inspect moisture exposure, soap residue, etching and sealer condition before restoring showers, vanities, thresholds or bathroom floors.

In bathrooms, I often see several issues at the same time:
Some issues are surface-level and can be corrected with cleaning, honing and polishing. Other marks sit deeper in the stone and need poultice treatment, repair or a more conservative finish. I explain the realistic result before starting so the restoration plan fits the condition of the marble.
A shower usually needs the most careful wet-area assessment. I check for soap residue, mineral buildup, failing grout or caulking, trapped moisture and previous coatings. The restoration may include deep cleaning, controlled honing, polishing to the right level of sheen and sealing with a product suited for wet areas.
A vanity often needs etch removal and repolishing around sinks, cosmetics and water rings. If the edge is chipped, I can repair and blend the damage before polishing. A bathroom floor needs a finish that looks clean but is practical for traffic and moisture. A threshold may need stain treatment, chip repair and sealing because it receives water and foot wear from both sides.
Every bathroom is different. A high-gloss vanity may make sense, while a shower floor often works better with a honed or satin finish that is easier to maintain and less visually harsh when water dries.
I use a step-by-step process so the surface is treated in the right order:
The exact process depends on whether the stone is polished marble, honed marble, a shower wall, a vanity, a floor or a threshold. I do not use one generic treatment for every bathroom.
I restore marble bathrooms in Brossard, Saint-Lambert, Boucherville, Longueuil, La Prairie, Candiac, Montreal, Westmount, Outremont, Town of Mount Royal, Laval and nearby areas.
Many of these projects are in homes, condos, townhouses and renovated bathrooms where replacement would be expensive or disruptive. Restoration can often improve the appearance and usability of the existing stone without tearing out the bathroom.
Bathroom marble often overlaps with other Techni-Marbre services. If the issue is a full marble surface that has lost its finish, see marble restoration. If the issue is a chip, crack or local stain, see marble repair. For other stone surfaces in bathrooms, see natural stone restoration. For polished floors outside the bathroom, see stone floor polishing.
If your marble shower, vanity, threshold or bathroom floor looks cloudy, stained, etched or hard to clean, I can inspect it and recommend the right restoration approach.

Yes, many marble showers can be cleaned, honed, polished and sealed. The important step is checking moisture, grout, caulking and stains first so the work does not hide a water problem.
Many hard-water and soap marks can be improved with stone-safe cleaning and refinishing. If minerals or stains have penetrated deeply, I will explain what result is realistic before starting.
It depends on the surface. Vanities can often be polished to a higher shine, while shower floors and some bathroom floors may be better with a honed or satin finish for easier maintenance.
Use pH-neutral stone cleaner, avoid vinegar, bleach, abrasive powders and harsh bathroom cleaners, keep wet areas ventilated, wipe standing water when practical, and reseal on the schedule I recommend.
