Between village and shore: marble in Anières
At the north-eastern tip of the canton, between Corsier and Hermance, Anières combines an old village gathered around its historic streets, a small harbour on Lake Geneva and large properties set on the slopes running down to the water. The calm here is genuine, the view across the lake to the Jura wide open, and the houses, often built or transformed to last, readily give natural stone a place of honour.
In lakeside residences and renovated village houses alike, Les Traitements du Sud · Geneva takes care of marble restoration in Anières: diamond grinding to level floors, polishing, crystallization, repair of chips and cracks, stain removal and sealing. We also work with interior designers converting an old farmhouse or village house into a contemporary home.
Because the commune lies a little away from the main roads, every job is prepared with care: full equipment from day one, a tight schedule and a preliminary visit so there are no surprises. The quote is always free and drawn up in Swiss francs.

Village houses
Old buildings, new stone interiors
In the heart of the village, several old houses have been carefully rehabilitated: thick walls, exposed beams and, inside, marble floors or worktops in dialogue with the original stone and timber. In this setting you often find marbles with character: deep greens, veined greys, warm-toned breccias, chosen for their presence rather than their neutrality.
These coloured marbles call for a specific approach. Some have veins softer than the surrounding stone, which hollow out if grinding goes too fast. We work through successive grits, check flatness at every pass and finish with a polish that brings out the depth of the colour. Where the stone has natural cracks or losses, a repair with tinted resin comes before the finishing stage.
Lakeside
Waterfront properties and the way they are lived in
Further down, towards the harbour and along the shore, the large houses have their own habits, which show on their floors.
Many of these properties are lived in mainly during the warmer months, then more quietly in winter. This rhythm offers an ideal window for restoration: we can work while the house is lightly occupied, liaising with your caretaker or house manager, and hand it back ready for the fine weather, with floors repolished and protected.
01
Back from the harbour
Wet deck shoes, ropes, bags set down on the floor: the trips between boat and house mark the entrance and the cloakroom. Localised grinding removes scratches and marks, and a water-repellent sealer limits lake water soaking in.
02
Entertaining on a large scale
Living rooms opening onto the terrace regularly welcome guests. Spilled glasses, heel marks, furniture moved around: an even polish, reinforced by crystallization, makes the floor more resilient between restorations.
03
Sun-drenched conservatories
Facing the lake, garden rooms capture a great deal of light and heat. Marble there experiences wider temperature swings and gathers dust and pollen. Careful stain removal, followed by a suitable finish, gives it a fresh look again.

Living spaces
Fireplaces, staircases and kitchen worktops
Winter evenings by the lake are often spent by the fire. Marble fireplaces in Anières homes therefore frequently show soot, smoke and heat marks on the lintel and mantel shelf. Deep cleaning, filling of chips and localised polishing restore their full character. Details on our marble fireplace page.
Interior staircases, often winding in older houses, wear at the nosings and in the centre of the treads. We work step by step, by hand where machines cannot reach, to recover an even, safe surface. In the kitchen, marble worktops regain a uniform polish and an impregnation that makes daily life easier. Our marble staircase page describes the method.
Heritage
Respecting the stone of a house passed down the generations
In Anières, many houses stay in the same family for decades. The marble was often chosen by an earlier generation and is part of the story of the place. Our preference is to restore rather than replace: a levelled, repolished floor regains a presence few new materials can match, while keeping the tone it has acquired over the years.
When a house changes hands or prepares for a new chapter, restoring the stone naturally goes alongside the refurbishment. We are happy to coordinate with the other trades, from painters and joiners to electricians, so that the marble is treated at the right moment: after the dusty work and before moving in.

FAQ
Marble restoration in Anières: your questions
Anières is at the far end of the canton: do you really come out that far?
Yes, Anières is fully part of our service area on the left bank of the lake, just like Collonge-Bellerive or Cologny. We simply organise the job so that we arrive with all the necessary equipment and group the working days together, making the work efficient and comfortable for you.
My floor is green marble or breccia: can it be restored like a white marble?
Yes, but with a tailored method. Coloured marbles and breccias often combine areas of different hardness. We grind progressively to avoid hollowing the softer veins, then adjust the polishing to bring out the depth of the colour. A preliminary test on a discreet area lets you approve the result.
Can the marble in a village house be restored without damaging old walls and woodwork?
Yes. Skirtings, woodwork and the base of the walls are protected before any grinding, and extraction at source keeps dust down. In narrow rooms or old staircases we use compact equipment and work partly by hand to respect what is already there.
Can marble restoration be combined with other work in the house?
It is often the best approach. Ideally we come in after the painting or electrical work and before the furniture goes in. We align our schedule with your architect or tradespeople so that the restored marble is no longer exposed to neighbouring works.
What care do you recommend for marble in a lakeside home?
pH-neutral cleaning, mats at the garden and harbour entrances, wiping up spills quickly and periodically reviving the polish. We can provide regular maintenance at the frequency that suits how you use the house.
