If the etching has not gone too far into the stone, a fabricator could possibly come out and just buff out the etched place,which would probably just be a trip charge. Miracle Sealants Company makes a stone polish that restores shine, which is also something you could do yourself, if the etching is not too deep. Stains can be lifted by using a poultice powder by the same company before polishing. You, however, are correct in stating that a marble top is not for a rental property. It should be used only when the customer is aware or the care necessary to maintain a nice finish. In retrospect, a quartz countertop, which never needs sealing, is a better option for a rental unit.

Rebecca –
Thanks so much for the great info!!!
I had a dream last night that I successfully buffed the counter back to like new. 🙂 (Random fact)
I’ll check into both options you mentioned.
Thanks again!
