Marble on its first or second polish
- Water Place was completed in 2005. Many developments from this period were handed over with marble in the living and dining areas and the bathrooms.
- After 20 years or so, the shine is usually gone in walkways, with etching near the kitchen and in the bathrooms.
- Typical issues: dull walkways, etch rings, dirty grout, a few hollow tiles and yellowing around the toilet.
