If this has happened and it was a polished calcium based stone like marble, then there may be a way to re polish it with a polishing cream or hand diamonds but if it is a delicate glaze that has bee damaged, it is likely to be beyond repair. the only other thing I ccan think of is maybe the acid has pulled some fine cement out of the grout joints and left a haze on the surface, this would be removable. I need more information Hope that helps Ian Hi Brenda,
