What This Service Covers

Acidic spills can dull calcium-based stone even when it has been sealed. We assess your marble, travertine or limestone countertop, existing protection, etching and finish before recommending a compatible anti-etch coating. Existing damage may need cleaning, honing or polishing first; a clear coating will not make every mark disappear. We prepare the stone and detail accessible edges and openings within the written scope, then apply the selected protective system after a test area confirms adhesion and appearance. The proposed sheen, coverage limits, care products and curing requirements are agreed before work. For food-preparation surfaces, product suitability and return-to-use instructions must be confirmed for the chosen system. Protection reduces direct exposure to etching agents but does not make a countertop immune to damage.

Why It Matters

Lemon juice, wine and other acidic spills can leave dull spots on susceptible stone. An assessed protective coating adds a barrier that a penetrating stain-resistant sealer does not provide, helping preserve a restored countertop with appropriate everyday care.
