Expert Stone Repair Services
Soapstone does not etch or stain like marble, but it scratches easily and darkens unevenly. We sand out the wear, even the color, and refinish it so the stone looks uniform again.

"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."

"I wish I had called Expert Stone Repair the day we moved in. Our granite countertops were constantly getting rings and moisture marks, and we tried different sealants to fix it ourselves. Nothing worked. They came, explained what was going on, then professionally cleaned and polished the granite, bringing it back to life. Now our countertops look incredible, the finish is consistent, and the problem areas are gone."

Soapstone is a soft, dense stone with a high talc content. That makes it unusual: it shrugs off acids and does not need a stain-blocking sealer, but it scratches and dents far more easily than granite or quartzite. Most soapstone owners also oil or wax the surface to deepen the color, and over time that leaves patchy dark areas next to dry, light ones. Restoration means sanding out scratches and nicks with progressively finer abrasives, removing uneven oil buildup, repairing chipped edges, and refinishing the whole surface so it darkens evenly. We restored a soapstone bar in a Summerlin luxury home this way, and the process is the same for kitchen counters, islands, and farmhouse sinks.

Las Vegas conditions create unique challenges for natural stone
Our restoration process is specifically designed for Las Vegas conditions, using products and techniques that address these local factors.
Mineral oil darkens soapstone quickly but needs reapplying every few weeks at first, especially in dry Las Vegas air. Soapstone wax lasts longer and adds a soft sheen. Leaving it natural lets the stone develop its own patina, darker where it is used most. We will finish it the way you want and show you how to keep it even.
We check scratch depth, edge damage, and how much oil or wax is on the surface. A test area shows how the stone will darken.
Uneven oil and wax layers are cleaned off so the stone starts from one consistent tone.
Scratches, knife marks, and dents are sanded out with progressively finer abrasives. Soapstone is soft, so this is controlled hand and machine work.
Chipped edges and corners are filled or reshaped and blended into the profile.
We apply mineral oil or a soapstone wax across the entire surface so it darkens uniformly, or leave it natural if you prefer.
Pricing
Every job starts with a free estimate. Our minimum visit is $700, and most jobs come in around $1,200.
The price depends on how deep the scratches and dents go and how much of the counter needs refinishing. Most visits cover the whole kitchen and an even coat of oil or wax at the end.

Yes. Soapstone is soft enough that scratches and small dents can be sanded out completely. Deep gouges can be reduced a lot, then the surface is refinished so the area blends.
Not for stain protection. Soapstone is dense and does not absorb liquids the way marble or limestone does. Oil or wax is cosmetic. It darkens the stone and hides light scratches.
Usually from uneven oiling. Areas that get wiped more often lose oil faster and turn lighter. We strip the old oil and reapply evenly so the color matches across the counter.
No. Soapstone is chemically inert, so acids do not etch it the way they etch marble. Its weakness is scratching, not etching.
Our minimum visit is $700, and most jobs come in around $1,200. The exact price depends on the size of the counters and the damage. Estimates are always free.
