Resealing Water Etched Marble

Etched marble is decorative, durable and functional, but can make your rooms appear unsightly if the etched stone is weathered and not properly sealed. Although you could hire a professional mason or painter to reseal the etched marble, hiring a professional can be costly. Seal the marble yourself using a few basic tools and supplies purchased inexpensively from any hardware or home improvement store. This allows you to bring the luster and radiance back into your marble without spending a fortune to do so.
