You’ve finally arrived at the ultimate source for having your prestigious stone surfaces returned to their beautiful factory finish. The marble, onyx, or travertine will look better than it has in years, possibly better than when they were brand new. It is possible because the grout is sometimes not entirely removed during the installation. Unlike a glazed porcelain tile, the stone tile is porous and can be hard to clean.
We use exclusively diamond disks to refinish the stone. These days many stone companies use hybrid pads that are not resin, and although the job looks good at first – the result is not durable. We have hundreds of references throughout the coastal area of North Florida that would be glad to speak with you about the quality of our work.
Floor restoration for natural stone includes using abrasives to remove edges of the tiles that are uneven and need to be “flattened” to light restorations that include acid etches and light scratches. Restorations include achieving honed as well as polished finishes. These restoration require using diamond abrasives and polishing compounds.
Shower walls and kitchen counter backsplashes can wear in a different way the floors are, backsplashes can accumulate oily residues, and shower walls can collect soap film accumulation, especially on the lower four rows of tiles. Mineral deposits have to be removed with a mineral deposit remover and then honed with abrasives. The shower walls are sensitive to the use of low pH cleaning chemicals. Even the mildest acids can leave etch marks. We are experts at refinishing these tiles. We do each one individually, and the result is always spectacular.
Countertop restoration has been our specialty for many years. We are the only company in town with planetary equipment to refinish stone and give it unmatched results. We have diamonds that allow us to refinish quartzite and granite. Although refinishing these materials is rare, it is sometimes necessary when the factory finish has eroded. We can bring your marble counter to a finish you won’t believe. Marble Shine is also the only source available for MORE anti etch sealers. MORE anti etch makes it a joy not to worry about an etch every time somebody gets close to your counters.
There are no shortcuts for us, and the benefit for you is a far better value because the finish will hold its restored shine far longer.

Terrazzo flooring is popular in homes near the beach thanks to their indestructible nature. When residents and guests track sand into the house, terrazzo flooring is built to stand the test of time. Pets love terrazzo because the refinished surfaces are cool and comfortable during the warm months.
To keep your terrazzo floors clean, use these simple steps:
Travertine is one of the “softer” stone materials available. Because of its softness, it can be easily scratched and abraded by materials that are harder — such as dirt and debris tracked in from outside, unprotected furniture legs, metal and hard plastics. Like limestone and marble, it is also highly reactive to acids, even relatively mild ones such as orange juice.
Because of its susceptibility to damage, restoration services are crucial to maintaining the look and feel of your travertine surfaces. With proper upkeep and maintenance from professional travertine flooring experts, your travertine stone can last you lifetime.
In some cases your travertine surfaces may not need a full refinishing or restoration service, and polishing may be just what you need to bring back the luster and shine to your travertine. In those cases we have the ability to provide the best travertine polishing services in the Jacksonville and Northeast Florida region.
The polishing process for travertine starts with an analysis of the stone at hand. The first thing we address is the degree of lippage in your stone installation. Lippage is the difference in tile height from tile edge to the edge of the adjacent tile. If lippage is within acceptable limits, we can polished your travertine with little or no difficulty. Unfortunately, on some installations the tiles look like a mini-skyline — like little buildings rising in different heights compared to each other. In these cases, if there is excessive lippage, your floors will have to be ground flat. Because of the holes in travertine tiles, the fill will be removed during the grinding process. Refinishing a travertine floor with excessive lippage is one of the most involved processes we do in the stone restoration field.
Travertine polishing without grinding requires honing cuts to remove scratches and etching.
Our process uses high quality, industrial diamonds to get the polishing process just right. These industrial diamonds come in a variety of forms and they each have a particular — in the hands of a skilled craftsman can polish travertine to a like new “factory” finish.

Do you scrub your grout and shortly after it seems dirty and dingy again? Grout is made from materials that are very porous in nature. This attracts oil, grease and liquids causing discoloration over time. Grout sealing helps protect your grout and keep it clean by keeping dirt and stains out.
When you choose us for professional grout sealing and schedule an appointment, here’s what you can expect:
After your grout is cleaned and sealed, you’ll spend less time cleaning and scrubbing to keep your tile looking like new. Because grout sealing breaks down over time, we recommend professional grout cleaning and sealing as needed or every year for floors and walls without exposure to moisture. Areas with high moisture may need grout sealing more often.
Over time the caulk in the corners and bottom edges of your shower can become weak and loose. Caulk should be applied at installation at all 90-degree angles (corners and bottom edges). Sometimes tile installers may skip this step and use grout in the corners. Eventually, the grout will crack away from the corners. Missing grout and caulk allows water to get behind and under the tile leading to mold and possible damage to walls etc.
At Marble Shine Jax, we only use the Fein Multimaster tool with an oscillating diamond blade to remove as much of the existing grout as possible. This allows the new grout enough depth to adhere and stay intact for many years.
After removing the old grout and caulk, we grout and caulk the areas with the color of grout chosen by you.
We offer this service in addition to cleaning shower walls and floors.
