Marble is elegant, versatile, and hard-wearing, and it is no longer exclusively for the wealthy. Many homes now enjoy the luxury of marble in the form of kitchen worktops, fireplaces, or even entrance halls. It’s also common to see the reception areas of corporate head offices and hotels adorned with the classic beauty of marble. However, like any other surface, marble requires occasional care to maintain its beauty and ensure its longevity.
While marble is durable, it is also absorbent. This means that spillages could cause stains, and acidic substances can damage the marble by dissolving its natural composition. When used externally, marble is vulnerable to air pollutants and has even been known to warp. Unfortunately, marble is also susceptible to damage in high-traffic areas and can easily get scratched.
The good news is that regular marble polishing helps guarantee its preservation. A thorough cleaning every few years will help keep it looking pristine and prevent the buildup of excess polish on its surface. This maintenance approach can save you money in the long term, as it may prevent the need for a complete restoration to restore its original shine.
If you’ve attempted marble polishing using our “How to Clean Marble” guide, you’ll understand how challenging it can be to achieve professional results without specialized training or equipment. Marble restoration is one of those tasks best left to the experts.
Durable, heat-resistant, and versatile, marble is an ideal material for a natural stone fireplace that not only looks stunning but also adds significant value to your property. A fireplace is always a strong focal point that enhances any room.
You don’t need fancy equipment to keep yours looking its best. Simply clean the surface with a cloth soaked in warm (not hot) water mixed with a mild detergent. Work from the bottom up, using circular motions to avoid streaking. Rinse with a sponge and clean water, then dry with an absorbent cloth.
It’s also wise to seal your fireplace before its first use to protect the stone.
At London Marble Stone, we provide specialized marble restoration services for fireplaces. We also seal, polish, and repair these structures, ensuring they receive professional care beyond just daily cleaning.
A marble countertop may be more affordable than you realize, especially when compared with other types of natural stone. Its longevity and heat resistance make it a smart choice for kitchen countertops. (The stone’s coolness makes it ideal for rolling out pastry.) Marble also resists scratching, breaking, and cracking better than some alternative materials on the market.
Additionally, its sheen adds genuine elegance to a room. Marble comes in a wide range of colors and patterns, with each piece of stone being unique due to the different minerals in the original limestone. Trapped impurities create the distinctive, beautiful veining.
Why not also consider marble countertops for your bathroom?
Once properly sealed and maintained, marble can offer a lifetime of natural beauty.

To keep the stone looking its best, always use coasters, even for glasses of water. Never place anything hot directly on the stone, and be aware that marble is particularly sensitive to acidic and alkaline products, as well as tannins in coffee, tea, and wine, and hard-water stains.
