Hammam marble is constantly exposed to hot water, steam, soap and exfoliating mitts. A layer of limescale and soap builds up on the surface; the marble becomes dull and slippery and no longer looks hygienic. In Alanya, hotel hammams and spa areas operate non-stop throughout the season. By honing the heated central slab (göbek taşı), basins (kurna), benches, walls and floor marble, we remove the limescale and the worn layer, and deliver the surface non-slip and clean.
What does our hammam marble honing service cover?
In a hammam, the job is not just honing the floor. From the central slab to the basins, from the benches to the wall marble, we carry out all of the work below with our own team.
- Removal of limescale and soap layers
- Honing of the central heated slab (göbek taşı)
- Hand honing of basins and benches
- Honing of wall and floor marble
- Non-slip, matte finish
- Repair of cracks and chips
- Renewal of grout joints
- Water-repellent impregnation
Where we carry out hammam marble honing
From hotel hammams to small hammams in homes, we work in every marble-clad wet area:
- Hotel hammams
- Spa and wellness areas
- Saunas and steam rooms
- Residential complex and residence hammams
- Villa hammams
- Shower and changing areas
- Indoor pool surrounds
- Massage rooms
How do we work?
- Survey: We assess the size of the hammam, the condition of the stone, and the hours we can work.
- Limescale removal: We mechanically remove the thick layer of limescale and soap residue.
- Honing: We hone the floors and walls with a machine, and the basins, platforms, and corners with a handheld machine.
- Finishing: We leave the surface matte and non-slip so that it is safe on wet floors.
- Repair and grout: We repair cracks and renew the grout joints.
- Protection and handover: We apply an impregnating sealer and hand over the hammam ready for use.
In a hamam, grip matters more than shine
A hamam floor is always wet. That's why we don't polish the marble; we finish it with a matte, slightly grippy surface.
- Safer walking on wet, soapy floors
- A surface that resists limescale and is easy to clean
- A clean, well-kept look
- Slower soiling thanks to impregnation
For more details about the matte finish, you can see our Honing page.
Working without disrupting the season in hotels
In Alanya hotels, it is not possible to close the hamam for days. We plan the work accordingly.
- General grinding and polishing before the season opens
- Interim maintenance during the night hours in the season
- Section-by-section work; part of the hamam stays open
- Repair and protection at the end of the season
State-of-the-art devices and equipment
In marble honing and polishing work in Alanya hamams, the first thing that determines the quality of the job on the hamam floor, the central heated stone (göbek taşı) and the basins (kurnas) is the right equipment. We choose the devices and materials according to the type of surface and the place where the work is done; we do not use products that harm human or environmental health.
- Wet honing machines for floors and the central heated stone
- Handheld honing machines for basins, benches and corners
- Color-matched filler for cracks and breaks
- Vacuum machines that collect dirty water instantly
While working wet, we remove the dirty water with a vacuum at the same time; the sections not being worked on can continue to be used while the job is in progress. When the job is finished, we also explain the daily cleaning and maintenance of the surface to you.
World-class quality
No matter how good the machinery and materials are, it is the craftsman's hand that produces a clean, lasting surface. Because hammam marble is constantly exposed to temperature changes and moisture, the quality of the surface left after honing directly determines its lifespan. Honing the edge profile of the göbek taşı (central heated marble platform) and the carved spouts of the kurnas (wash basins) without damaging them takes its own special skill.
For years, our team has been carrying out hammam marble honing in all districts, including Alanya center, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Tosmur, Cikcilli, Avsallar, Türkler, Konaklı and Okurcalar, for hotels, housing complexes, villas and businesses. On every job, we determine the steps according to the condition of the surface and show the same care at every stage.
Pricing and quotes
Hammam polishing is priced per square meter; the central heated stone (göbek taşı) and basins (kurnas) are priced per piece. We give the final price after seeing the job on site; the survey is free. The factors that determine the price are:
- Size of the hammam
