Sorry you haven’t had a great experience w marble ? we live in ut and I think our houses are about the same age (1979). I love marble as well so when we renovated last year, we did marble kitchen countertops, master bath full shower (12 x24)w bench, hex marble floor and countertop as well as hall bath marble subway tile in herringbone.

When hot water is run directly into the sink while it is cold, it can cause thermal shock cracks in a sink.
Used in monuments, crushed stone, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more.

Taj Mahal |
The Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful and famous buildings in the world. It was built between 1632 and 1653 as a mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal, the third wife of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Marble was used extensively throughout the building, including the marble domes and towers. Photo copyright iStockphoto / standby.
The Properties of Marble and Its Uses
Very few rocks have as many uses as marble. It is used for its beauty in architecture and sculpture. It is used for its chemical properties in pharmaceuticals and agriculture. It is used for its optical properties in cosmetics, paint, and paper. It is used because it is an abundant, low-cost commodity in crushed stone prepared for construction projects. Marble has many unique properties that make it a valuable rock in many different industries. The photographs and captions below illustrate just a few of its varied uses.
Many Colors of Marble |
Marble occurs in a very wide range of colors. Marble formed from the purest limestones is white in color. Iron oxide impurities in the limestone will produce a yellow, orange, pink or red color. Clay minerals can produce gray colors that often occur in bands after the compositional stratification of the original limestone. Abundant bituminous materials can produce dark gray to black marble. Marble that contains serpentine often has a green color. Photo copyright iStockphoto / Tina Lorien.
Supreme Court Building |
The Supreme Court building was constructed between 1932 and 1935 using several different types of marble. Vermont marble was used extensively in the exterior. The inner courtyards were made using bright white marble from Georgia, and the interior corridors and entrance halls are made from creamy white marble from Alabama.

Washington Monument |
The Washington Monument was built of marble between 1848 and 1884. Initial work on the structure was done using marble from a quarry located near Texas, Maryland. The project was then delayed for nearly 30 years due to a lack of funds. When construction resumed in 1876, similar stone from the Texas quarry was not available, so stone from the Sheffield quarry near Sheffield, Massachusetts was used. The Sheffield quarry had problems delivering stone in a timely manner, and in 1880 their contract was cancelled. A new contract then went to the Cockeysville Quarry near Baltimore, Maryland which supplied a slightly darker dolomitic marble. These different stone sources can be seen in the monument as labeled in the photo above. Photo and annotation by the United States Geological Survey.
Marble Stair Treads, Risers, Floor Tile |
Marble is a material used in prestige architecture and interior design. This photo shows stair treads and risers made from brecciated marble and floor tiles made from marble in a variety of colors. Photo copyright iStockphoto / Nikada.
Bust of Artemis |
Marble is a translucent stone that allows light to enter and produce a soft 'glow.' It also has the ability to take a very high polish. These properties make it a beautiful stone for producing sculptures. It is soft, making it easy to sculpt, and when it is fine-grained it has uniform properties in all directions. Some of the world's most famous sculptures have been produced from marble. This bust of the Greek goddess, Artemis, is a copy of an original Greek work. Photo copyright iStockphoto / Diane Diederich.
Lincoln Memorial |
The Lincoln Memorial was built between 1914 and 1922. Many different stones were used in the memorial. The terrace walls and lower steps were made of granite from Massachusetts. The upper steps, columns, and outside facade were made using marble from Colorado. The interior walls are Indiana limestone (called 'Indiana Marble' by many architects). The floor was made using pink marble from Tennessee, and the statue of Lincoln is made from a very bright white marble from Georgia. Each type of stone was selected for its properties along with an effort to utilize stone from many parts of the United States. Photo copyright iStockphoto / ntn.
Cemetery Markers |
Marble is often used as a cemetery marker. It is a very attractive stone. It is economical because it is relatively easy to cut and engrave. In comparison to rocks like granite, it is not as resistant to acid precipitation and tends to lose edges and detail over time. Photo copyright iStockphoto / JPecha.
Whiting |
Marble of exceptionally white color is sometimes used to produce a product known as 'whiting,' a white powder that is used as a pigment, brightener, and filler in paint, paper and other products. Photo copyright iStockphoto / nsilcock.

Cutting Marble |

Slabs and blocks of marble are used for stair treads, floor tiles, facing stone, cemetery stones, window sills, ashlars, sculptures, benches, paving stones and many other uses.

Agricultural Lime |
Some marble is heated in a kiln to drive off the carbon dioxide that is contained within the calcite. What remains after kiln treatment is the calcium oxide - known as 'lime.' Lime is used as an agricultural soil treatment to reduce the acidity in soil. When applied in combination with fertilizer, it can increase the yield of a soil. This test plot shows a portion of a corn field where no lime and no fertilizer were applied. The plants in that plot are struggling to survive.

Acid Neutralization |
Marble is composed of calcium carbonate. That makes it very effective at neutralizing acids. Highest purity marble is often crushed to a powder, processed to remove impurities and then used to make products such as Tums and Alka-Seltzer that are used for the treatment of acid indigestion. Crushed marble is also used to reduce the acid content of soils, the acid levels of streams, and as an acid-neutralizing material in the chemical industry. Photo copyright iStockphoto / NoDerog.
Crushed Stone - Construction Aggregate |
Some marble is mined, crushed, sized and sold as a construction aggregate. It can be used as fill, subbase, landscape stone and other uses where soundness and abrasion resistance are not critical. Because marble is composed of calcite, it cleaves more readily than limestone and does not have the strength, soundness, and abrasion resistance of granite and other more competent rocks.

Soft Abrasive |
Marble is composed of calcite, a mineral with a Mohs hardness of three. It is softer than most bathroom and kitchen surfaces and can be used on them as a scrubbing agent without producing scratches or other damage.
Calcium Feed Supplement |
Dairy cows and chickens need a steady supply of calcium to produce milk and eggs. Farms that raise these animals often use animal feeds that have been supplemented with additional calcium. Powdered limestone and marble are used to produce these supplements because they are softer than the animal's teeth, soluble, and rich in calcium. Photo copyright iStockphoto / NiDerLander.

Repair &
Restoration Services
_____
Make your interior distinct
You’ll need the services of a marble and granite countertop and floor repair and restoration specialist when your stone surfaces are damaged.
Although natural stone surfaces are extremely hard-wearing, they’ll eventually begin to show signs of wear and tear. Marble especially so because it’s more porous than granite.
A timely countertop or floor repair by a professional restoration company will cost far less than having to install replacements.
When your worktop or flooring may need restoration
Signs your countertop or floor is in need of care from a marble or granite repair specialist:
- Fading shine. Over time, stone surfaces can lose their lustre, particularly marble, which is softer than granite. A stone surfaces specialist can soon bring back the sparkle to your flooring or countertops.
- Staining. All stone surfaces are prone to staining – by water and even rust – and these marks can be difficult to remove. The DIY approach may run the risk of costly errors, particularly if unsuitable chemical cleaning products are used. If in doubt, consult a company adept at granite worktop restoration or marble tile repair – like Canvastone.
- Etching. These are the dull blemishes resulting from contact with acidic products such as vinegar and lemon juice. If the problem is minor, a stone polishing compound may do the trick. However, more severe cases will require more extensive restoration work to be done by the specialists.
- Burn marks. Even though natural stones are highly resistant to heat, they can still be scorched. This is even more so for engineered quartz countertop, if you aren’t careful – thereby requiring heat damage repair services.
- Cracking. A flat countertop edge profile is susceptible to chipping, whereas a large marble table top might break up while being moved without adequate reinforcement. Marble floor tiles may crack as a result of natural settling or poor installation. All these calls for professional top restoration.

Other indications that your stone surface needs repair or restoration include flaking and yellowing, and the longer the problem is allowed to persist, the harder it will be to rectify it.
Although some stones will naturally begin to turn yellow eventually, yellowing can occur when grime becomes embedded in the stone. Surface coatings such as vinyl film or wax can also yellow with age.
Flaking typically happens when stone is exposed to excessive amounts of water.
Canvastone’s granite and marble top and flooring services
Calling in specialists in stone surface restoration and repair before problems get out of hand will avoid the expense and inconvenience of having to replace your floor tiles or countertop.
Canvastone’s services would entail the use of industry-leading tools, techniques, and chemicals to revive the appearance of jaded floors and countertops.
Generally, these are the steps we take during a restoration process. Of course, they’d vary under different conditions.
- Scratches, stains, etching, and other damage may be removed by grinding the top layer of the stone, while cracks and holes filled with an epoxy adhesive in a matching colour.
- The process is typically completed by deep cleaning and polishing to create a glossy finish or honing for a smooth, matte result.
- Finally, the surface will be resealed as a protection against further damage.

Countertop repair and restoration
Natural stone kitchen countertops such as marble and granite, and man-made engineered quartz worktops, can all suffer damage by staining, etching, scorching, and so forth.
If the unsightly marks are superficial, they could be removed by wiping down with a damp cloth and the right cleaning agent.
However, if the problem is more serious, calling on professional marble, granite, and quartz countertop repair services may then be necessary because appropriate buffing equipment would have to be used.
Marble table top repair
Sometimes, when the edge of a marble table top sustains a knock from a hard and heavy object, it may chip.
