The kitchen countertop is the most heavily used stone in the home. Lemon, vinegar, tomato and detergent leave dull etch marks on marble countertops; knives and pots scratch them; and grease works its way into the stone over time. There is no need to remove or replace the countertop. In Alanya, we hone, polish and protect marble, granite and travertine kitchen and bathroom countertops on site against staining.
What does our countertop honing service include?

Why do dull stains appear on marble countertops?
Those dull rings are not dirt, they are etch marks. Lemon, vinegar, cola and many cleaning products eat away at the marble's surface; wiping won't remove them.
- Etch marks can only be removed by honing and polishing
- Sealing delays staining but does not completely prevent etching
- Using a cutting board and coasters on a marble countertop is the best protection
- Neutral detergent is enough for daily cleaning
Countertop care in holiday homes and rental properties
In rental apartments in Alanya, the countertop wears down a little more with every guest. Honing and protection before the season make the home look better maintained in photos and at first impression.
- Pre-season honing and sealing
- Removing limescale marks from bathroom countertops
- Completing small pieces such as tables and side tables on the same day
State-of-the-art devices and equipment
In countertop honing and polishing work in Alanya, the first thing that determines the quality of the job on kitchen and bathroom countertops is the right equipment. We choose the device and materials according to the type of surface and the place where the work is carried out; we do not use products that harm human or environmental health.
- Handheld honing and polishing machines for countertops
- Abrasives suited to edge profiles
- Special stain and ring removal products
- Sealing materials suitable for food-contact surfaces
When working with water, we vacuum up the dirty water at the same time; areas that are not being worked on can continue to be used while the job is in progress. When we finish, we also explain how to clean and maintain the surface day to day.
World-class quality
No matter how good the machinery and materials are, it is the craftsman's hand that produces a clean, lasting surface. On a kitchen countertop, marks from acid, grease, and hot pots vary in depth; we treat each mark with a different method.
For years, our team has been carrying out countertop polishing work in hotels, housing complexes, villas, and businesses across all districts of Alanya, especially in the center, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Tosmur, Cikcilli, Avsallar, Türkler, Konaklı, and Okurcalar. On every job, we determine the steps according to the condition of the surface and show the same care at every stage.
