Dear Helen,

You are not going to be able to do this on your own. You need to hire a pro to do this. Start by going to one of the tile stores located near you, talk with the owner or sales manager. Good chance they either provide this service or they may work with a few contractors that they can recommend. I would stay away from the big box stores for this info, because you don.t know who you will end up with. This type of work is a crafted skill and those who take pride in their work will also hand pick their tiles or stone for the perfect match.
This type of restoration calls for special equipment to do this type of process in restoring your marble stone. The two processes require either a diamond polish prcedure or a pumice process, after this is done the'll either put a patina or impregnated sealer into the stone for longevity.
You can also find a reputable contractor over the internet who is certified in Stone,Masonry & Tile (SMT) specialist at www.iicrc.org Here you'll have a handful of pro's located near or close to you. I can assure you that you will be able to find what you are looking for on this site. I am also a certified pro with many titles under my belt with the IICRC. They are the largest certified oranization in the world and most amongst us are confident in the services we provide for the public.
For all you other marble owners, please take the same advise, marble is not cheap and you want the best result in the end. (Hire a Pro)
Last but not least, please be prepared for the cost of having this done, it may not be cheap, because this is a restoration process. Lots of luck into your venture.
Sincerely, Mark
Certified: (SMT)
