A Vanity Top in Redmond, WA, Looks Shiny and Beautiful Thanks to Our Stone Polishing Process

April 10, 2024

Natural stone surfaces are beautiful and can give a stylish look to any area of the home, but they are prone to deterioration and can become dull and unappealing without proper care. Moreover, daily wear and tear or harsh cleaning products can cause long-term damage that might require professional restoration. We recently received a request from a client in Redmond, WA, experiencing a similar problem.


She had a gorgeous natural stone vanity in her bathroom, but she was unhappy because the surface was stained, scratched, and dull. The owner tried some DIY guides she found in a magazine, but she couldn't restore the stone. After considering her options, she decided to seek professional assistance, so she went online and searched for stone polishing services in Redmond, Washington, and found a link to our website at the top of Google's results.

On our user-friendly site, she read a few of our blog posts and browsed our picture gallery, which convinced her we could provide a reliable solution. Hoping to solve her problem as soon as possible, she requested a free evaluation at her convenience by filling out our online scheduler.


We take immense pride in maintaining a professional image that reflects our commitment to excellence. Our company vehicles and equipment are meticulously maintained and identified, ensuring our customers can easily recognize us when we arrive. Dressed in sharp uniforms, we arrived as scheduled and began the in-home consultation, assessing the issues on the vanity top.

The stone appeared in poor condition, with various stains, scratches, and a lackluster appearance. We explained to the owner that improper maintenance using harsh chemicals or leaving acidic substances to dry on the surface can cause these issues. Moreover, we noticed that the surface was not adequately sealed, which can lead to further damage and decay over time.

After the inspection, we shared our observations with the owner and suggested the best solution to restore the vanity top. We recommend our stone cleaning, honing, and polishing service, using professional-grade equipment and Sir Grout's proprietary products, which are the safest and most advanced on the market. We assured her we would repair the damage, shield and enhance the stone, and ensure the surface would shine again.

We provided a no-obligation quote and a detailed description of the work we would do, outlining all the steps involved in the process. She was happy with the solution we proposed and promptly requested to schedule the job on a future day and time that was convenient for her.

At Sir Grout, we are committed to fulfilling our promises and providing a safe environment for all our customers. From the moment we provide the free quote until the finished product, we'll treat our client's home with extreme care and attention. As we returned to begin the job, we ensured the area was protected during our work, and proceeded with our restoration process, keeping the homeowner informed and answering all her questions.

We started by cleaning the surface using a high-speed scrubber and our exclusive cleaner. Our product is stone-safe, crafted with high-quality ingredients that won't leave a residue or damage the surface.

For the following step, we honed the stone using low-grit diamond pads. We slowly increased the level of grit until the damage on the surface was completely removed. Honing gives the surface a matte finish, so polishing is necessary to restore its vibrant shine. We continued grinding using high-end polishing powders and gave the stone a glossy, reflective appearance.

To finish the job, we sealed the surface with an impregnating sealant that protects natural stone against spills, water, etch marks, and stains. Additionally, our sealer beautifully enhances the stone, makes maintenance effortless, and can last for a long time with proper care.

After completing all the steps, we cleaned up and invited our client to inspect the results. The owner loved the gleaming surface and was delighted because her vanity top was stunningly beautiful once again.

She expressed her gratitude for our exceptional work and promised to recommend our services to family and friends with similar hard surface-related issues. She also mentioned she would leave a five-star review on Google to ensure others knew about Sir Grout's outstanding products and services.

Before leaving, we always take the time to give our clients some recommendations and helpful tips for better maintenance. We recommended a weekly cleaning routine using pH-neutral and soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike other cleaners, our product won't damage the stone, delivers remarkable results, and because it's non-toxic, it's safe for everyone in her home, including pets.

We don't recommend using soap-based products or substances with acidic properties because they contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to the stone. In addition, they leave a residue that can dry on the surface, leading to discoloration, staining, and other issues like etching.

It is also important to keep the surface dry using paper towels or terry cloths and to avoid using abrasive tools because they can scratch the stone. We also recommend storing wet bottles like perfumes and other cosmetics in safe containers to prevent stains.
