Our Techs Fully Revived a Vanity in St Clair Shores With an Amazing Stone Polishing Service

December 10, 2025

A homeowner in St Clair Shores was convinced that her bathroom vanity required professional assistance after keeping an eye on the surface for weeks. In general, she managed to remove any dirt and moisture landing on the vanity, but that didn't stop the stone from looking duller and outdated. The owner didn't want to settle for lackluster results, so she knew what to do when she came across our stone polishing service in St Clair Shores.


Sir Grout Greater Detroit had been on her radar for years since she'd met many satisfied customers among her relatives and workmates. She was reminded of this after seeing the results of a recent job on social media, which felt like a clear sign that she needed to learn more. So, the homeowner visited our website and perused the picture gallery, doing her due diligence before contacting our crew to schedule an appointment.

We went to her house later that week, as scheduled via the website's contact form. The owner welcomed us into her house and gave us a rundown of the problem before taking our techs to the bathroom. The passage of time had started to show on the surface, even when the vanity looked smooth at first glance. The stone's white and gray pattern hid many imperfections, but our experts could still tell that the flat surface looked worn, with mild signs of etching spreading from the sink.


When the client asked about the cause of the problem, we confirmed that the etch marks on natural stone surfaces can't be removed with regular means. Part of the reason is that traditional cleaners do more harm than good, exposing natural stone to harsh ingredients and even causing discoloration after repeated use. We reassured her that there was no severe damage to the vanity but stressed the importance of having the stone honed and polished as soon as possible. The owner agreed with our experts' assessment, so she didn't hesitate to schedule a second visit once we were done with the inspection.

At her convenience, our specialists returned to the house a few days later for the restoration. First, we spread a stone-safe cleaner all over the vanity top and scrubbed off all the traces of moisture, soap, and other bathroom products. The process helped restore some of its shine, but there was still work to be done.

The next step was honing the stone, so our crew readied three sets of diamond pads and ran them across the surface several times. We increased the level of grit as we made progress on the marks, gradually eliminating all the signs of etching from the vanity top. Then, our team used special polishing powders to leave the surface looking smooth and shiny. We ensured that all parts of the flat surface had the desired level of sheen before moving on to the last step of the restoration.

Our team applied stone sealant on the entire vanity top so that it could keep its new look for much longer. Sealant is essential to preserve natural stone surfaces in high-traffic areas, and our formula ensures lasting protection against moisture, soap, and the worst effects of wear and tear.

The client was invited back into the bathroom as soon as we completed the job, and she couldn't be happier with the result. The surface glowed softly to match its elegant design, and all the shades of gray on the stone looked much more vivid. After showing the transformation to the rest of her family, the homeowner praised our stone polishing skills and promised to recommend our services to more people in St Clair Shores.

These are the tips we shared with the client before leaving the house. Our specialists started by reminding her to avoid soap-based products, especially when it comes to natural stone surfaces in any part of the house. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner is the ideal alternative to replace these formulas once and for all. For one, it combines all the benefits that make pH-neutral cleaners so effective for the maintenance of residential surfaces, removing the dirt in less time, without leaving any residue on the stone. Because it has no toxic ingredients, you don't have to worry about causing discoloration, and you can go about your chores without exposing your family and pets to harsh fumes.

Our specialists also recommended keeping the bathroom well ventilated since that's the first line of defense against the growth of mold. One way to do this is by opening the windows and doors throughout the day, but you can also help by wiping out any leftover dampness on the vanity. When doing this, it's important to avoid abrasive tools since they can easily scratch the stone while you try to scrub off the dirt. We recommend using a towel or a terry cloth to wipe out any residue more safely and thoroughly.
