Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
At Aristocrat’s Marble & Granite, we specialise in providing top-tier services for marble restoration and granite restoration, using the renowned GEAL Systems products. With a commitment to maintaining the pristine beauty of your stone surfaces, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our customers ask about caring for marble, granite, and other natural stone surfaces.
1. What is marble restoration, and how does it work?
Marble restoration is the process of returning marble surfaces to their original lustre and beauty. Over time, marble can become dull, scratched, or stained due to daily wear and tear, especially in areas like kitchen benchtops or floors. Our marble restoration services in Melbourne utilise GEAL Systems, a globally trusted brand for cleaning and restoration products. The process typically involves deep cleaning, polishing, and sealing the marble to restore its shine and protect it from future damage.
At Aristocrat’s Marble & Granite, we offer tailored solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Our expert team applies specialised techniques, ensuring that every marble benchtop, floor, or surface is treated with care and precision, resulting in a long-lasting finish.
2. How do I choose the right sealer for my marble surfaces?
Choosing the right marble tile sealer is crucial to ensure the long-term protection of your marble surfaces. The type of sealer depends on the stone's location, exposure to elements, and intended use. For instance, a kitchen benchtop might need a more robust, solvent-based penetrating sealer due to exposure to liquids and oils.
We offer a range of marble sealers, each designed for different conditions. Our experts recommend sealers based on whether your marble surface is indoors or outdoors and its exposure to moisture. In addition to protecting your marble, our sealers help to maintain the stone’s natural beauty by providing a durable, invisible layer of protection.
3. How often should I reseal my marble or granite surfaces?
The frequency of resealing depends on the level of usage and the type of stone. On average, marble surfaces should be resealed every 1-3 years, particularly in high-traffic areas such as kitchen benchtops or bathroom counters. Granite surfaces tend to be more durable and can go longer without resealing. However, regular resealing helps maintain the stone’s resistance to stains, spills, and scratches.
Our team at Aristocrat’s Marble & Granite provides professional assessments to determine when your stone needs resealing. We use high-quality products from GEAL Systems to ensure lasting results.
4. Can I use GEAL Systems’ products on granite surfaces?
Yes, GEAL Systems’ products are versatile and suitable for a variety of natural stone surfaces, including granite. Granite is naturally harder and more durable than marble, but it still benefits from the right care and maintenance. Our granite restoration services in Melbourne use GEAL’s granite-specific solutions to clean, restore, and seal granite surfaces.
Whether it's a granite benchtop, floor, or any other surface, our solutions protect the stone from staining and wear, helping to maintain its natural appearance for years to come.
5. How do I know if my stone needs restoration?
There are several signs that indicate when your stone surfaces need restoration. Marble and granite may show visible scratches, lose their shine, or develop stains over time. If your marble benchtop or granite surfaces appear dull, chipped, or stained, it's time to consider professional restoration.
Our experts at Aristocrat’s Marble & Granite use state-of-the-art GEAL Systems products to rejuvenate your stone surfaces, ensuring they regain their original beauty. We offer tailored restoration services to meet the specific needs of each client.
6. What makes GEAL Systems eco-friendly?
GEAL Systems is a leader in providing sustainable, eco-friendly products for stone care. Many of their solutions, including water-based sealers, are designed with the environment in mind. By using GEAL’s award-winning chemicals, we can offer high-quality marble and granite restoration services that not only protect your stone surfaces but also reduce environmental impact.

7. Do you offer polishing services for stone surfaces?
Yes, we provide expert polishing services for marble, granite, and other natural stone surfaces. Our polishing services restore the shine and smoothness of your stone, giving it a fresh, new look. We offer different GEAL Systems polishing products depending on the type of stone and the level of polishing required.
For marble, we use Blue Label products for deep polishing that restores the stone’s original lustre. For natural stone and wood finishes, Red Label products enhance and protect, while Brown Label finishers preserve the aesthetics of both stone and wood after restoration.
