How to Remove a Water Spot on Honed Travertine Table Top

A. Water spots are actually something else entirely -- etch damage. Because your top is honed, it would not be wise to attempt to remove the etch damage using DIY methods such as marble polish. If your top had a polished finish, then you could. The reason you do not want to remove the damage on a honed finish is that you would end up with a shiny, polished area that would be inconsistent with the surrounding undamaged finish. A professional stone restoration contractor can remove the damage, matching the restored area to the surrounding finish. If you do not have a professional stone restoration contractor, contact us to find one in your area.
