What Our Customers Say

"Great company! Came out initially to provide a quote for 4 kitchen countertops, 5 bathroom countertops, and 2 laundry countertops. We were thinking of replacing all the countertops, however we were looking at 50K to 60K and weeks in disarray during construction. Expert Stone Repair made all of them look like new. My wife and I are extremely happy with the work that was done as well as the finishes. Highly recommended."

Our Process
How It Works
From first photo to polished finish.
1
Send Us a Photo
Text, call, or submit online. We look at the stone type and surface condition and tell you what to expect.
2
Surface Assessment
We inspect the damage under professional lighting to determine the right abrasive sequence and finish level.
3
Polish & Restore
Diamond abrasives in progressive grits remove damage layer by layer until the surface is smooth and even.
4
Seal & Protect
Penetrating sealer locks in the restored finish and slows down future damage from water and spills.
Real job sequence
Protection and cleaning are part of the restoration
A clean, controlled workspace matters before we ever polish the countertop. Cabinets, floors, sinks, and nearby finishes are protected first. Then the stone is cleaned so loose grit, residue, and dirt do not get dragged through the polishing pass.
Surface protection
Drop cloths, tape, and plastic keep the work focused on the countertop and away from surrounding finishes.
Deep cleaning first
Cleaning is not cosmetic. It keeps debris from scratching the stone during the restorative polish.

Short clips from a real countertop restoration job: high-temperature cleaning, product application, machine polishing, and final inspection.
Restoration product application
The right polishing compound is applied evenly so the stone is ready for the restorative polishing pass.
Countertop polishing pass
Controlled machine polishing restores depth, clarity, and reflection after the surface has been protected, cleaned, and prepped.
Final inspection and wipe down
The finished countertop is checked for reflection, residue, edges, and feel before the job is complete.
Surface Damage
Surface Issues We Fix
Each surface problem needs a different approach. Here is how we handle the most common ones.
Etching
Dull spots or rings caused by acidic contact. Wine, citrus, vinegar, and many household cleaners react with calcium-based stone within seconds. The surface loses its polish in those spots.
Acid damage removal
Diamond honing and polishing
Finish level restoration (honed, satin, or gloss)
Protective sealing
Hard Water Deposits
White crusty buildup or haze around faucets, sinks, and anywhere water sits. Las Vegas water is 16+ grains per gallon, some of the hardest in the country. The minerals bond to the stone surface and household cleaners won't remove them.

Surface polishing after cleaning
Penetrating sealer application
Maintenance guidance for Las Vegas water
Dull/Worn Finish
Countertops that have lost their shine from years of daily use. Wiping on countertops and grit tracked in from outside all wear down the polished surface over time.
Full-surface honing
Progressive diamond polishing
Finish level matching (honed to high gloss)
Sealing for long-term protection
Scuff Marks
Surface scratches from sliding objects, cutting without a board, dragging appliances, or abrasive cleaners. They show up as fine lines or cloudy patches that catch the light.
Scratch depth assessment
Light honing to remove damage
Polish to match surrounding finish
Sealing the restored area
Stains
Discoloration that has penetrated below the stone surface. Wine, coffee, oil, rust, and dyes can absorb into unsealed or poorly sealed stone. The stain lives inside the stone, not on top of it.
Stain identification and testing
Poultice extraction treatment
Surface polishing after treatment
Sealing to prevent future staining
Stone Expertise
Stone Types We Polish
Every stone polishes differently. Here is what to know about each one.
Marble
Softer than most countertop stones and reacts to acids quickly. Etching from wine, citrus, and cleaners is the most common issue we see. We restore marble from honed matte to high-gloss mirror finish depending on your preference.
Etch mark removal
Hard water haze polishing
Scratch removal
Honed or gloss finish options
Granite
Harder and more durable, but still develops dull spots from abrasive cleaners and sealer failure over time. Oil stains around cooking areas are common. Polishing granite requires different diamond pads and more pressure than softer stones.
Oil stain treatment
Dull spot polishing
Sealer reapplication
Full-surface restoration
Travertine
Warm and porous with natural holes that collect dirt and bacteria. Hard water and acidic spills are especially damaging. We can fill holes, hone out etching, and polish to whatever finish level you want.
Hole filling
Etch and hard water removal
Honed or polished finish
Penetrating sealer for porous stone
Quartzite
One of the hardest natural stones, but it still etches and the sealer breaks down faster in our desert climate. Water spots around the sink are the most common call we get. Polishing quartzite takes specialized equipment because of its density.
Water spot and etch removal
Sealer maintenance
High-gloss polish restoration
Specialized equipment for hard stone
Limestone
The softest and most porous common countertop stone. Reacts to acids even faster than marble and absorbs stains easily. Requires gentle techniques and breathable sealers that won't yellow over time.
Gentle honing for soft stone
Stain poulticing
Breathable sealer application
Etch removal without surface damage
Quartz (Engineered)
Not natural stone, so the polishing process is completely different. Resin-based surface means no diamond polishing. We use compounds designed for manufactured surfaces to restore clarity and remove dull spots, scratches, and heat marks.
Resin-safe polishing compounds
Scratch and dull spot removal
Heat mark treatment

Honest Assessment
What's Realistic
Daily use, hard water, and spills are going to happen again after we leave. Polishing restores the surface, and sealing slows down future damage, but stone is a natural material that needs maintenance.
We'll tell you how often your specific stone and usage pattern needs professional care. For a real multi-surface example, review this granite countertop cleaning and stone polishing job in Henderson. Send us photos and we'll give you a straight answer.

Countertop Polishing FAQ
How often should I get my countertops polished?
We recommend sealing once a year for most stone types in Las Vegas. Our hard water and dry climate break sealers down faster than you'd expect. Polishing frequency depends on wear, but annual sealing keeps your stone protected between professional visits.
What's the difference between honed and polished?
Honed is a matte, smooth finish with no shine. Polished is the glossy, reflective finish most people picture when they think of marble or granite. We can do either, or anything in between. Some homeowners prefer honed because it hides etching better.
Can polishing remove deep scratches?
Polishing removes surface-level scratches by honing down to below the scratch depth. Very deep scratches or gouges may need filling before polishing. We assess the depth during inspection and tell you what to expect.
Is the dust a problem?
Diamond polishing creates fine stone dust. We use shrouding and vacuum extraction to contain it. Your home won't be covered in dust when we leave.
