Italian Marble Polishing in Kolkata
A white Italian floor can lose its depth in months if it is cleaned with the wrong product. We polish it with graded diamond pads and stone-specific compounds, at controlled speed, so the pattern and the surface stay intact. Kolkata buildings are older and often mix marble, Kota and mosaic in the same flat, with high humidity and monsoon damp that dulls floors faster than in Delhi. Salt-laden air near the river also leaves a film that looks like stone wear but is surface deposit.

| Check | What good looks like | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Test patch | Shown on a hidden area first | Skipped or refused |

| Joints | Clean and level | Dust trapped in open joints |

How our charges are built
| Charge component | What it covers | How it varies |
|---|---|---|
| Rate per sq ft | Cleaning, grinding, polishing, finishing | Surface type and area |
| Damage correction | Scratch, etch and stain treatment | Severity, decided on the test patch |
| Access and edges | Staircases, corners, upper floors | Hand work needed |
| Coatings | Silicate, crystallisation, nano, sealer | Optional, quoted separately |
- Nothing is added mid-job. If we find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you
- Material is included in the rate, not billed as an extra
- Slab rates apply above 1,000 sq ft instead of per-room pricing
- One written figure per surface, so a mixed floor is priced line by line
Access is confirmed before the visit: parking, lift use, gate entry, working-hour restrictions and any society paperwork. Sorting this in advance is what stops a scheduled job from becoming a wasted trip.
Old polish, wax and cleaning residue are stripped before any new finish goes on. Layering a fresh treatment over residue is what makes floors look grey again within weeks.
Water and power are the two site requirements. We need one working socket within reach of a lead and a water point; everything else, including masking material and waste bags, comes with the crew.
Why clients book us
- Correct grit sequence per stone hardness
- One team for grinding, polishing and sealing
- 12 years of Indian marble and stone work
- Slab thickness and hollowness checked before any grinding
Serving Kolkata and nearby areas
Kolkata jobs are scheduled as a fixed visit batch so the crew and machines travel together and travel cost is not loaded onto your rate. Kolkata buildings are older and often mix marble, Kota and mosaic in the same flat, with high humidity and monsoon damp that dulls floors faster than in Delhi. Salt-laden air near the river also leaves a film that looks like stone wear but is surface deposit. Inspections are booked within 24-48 hours and most jobs take 1-2 days per flat.

Best Italian Marble Polishing - common questions
Can old polish and wax be removed?
Yes. Grinding strips the residue layer completely. That is the only way a new polish bonds to the stone instead of sitting on top of old compound.
Will grinding change the colour of my floor?
It restores the original colour by removing the worn and stained top layer. Floors that have faded unevenly across rooms come back to one uniform shade.
How long does it take?
Most apartments are ground and polished in one to two days, and the floor is walkable the same evening as the final pass.
Do you polish Makrana that has gone grey?
Yes. Greyness is normally surface dirt, mop haze and worn polish. It lifts with grinding and polishing, and we show you a test patch on a hidden corner first.
Does Indian marble need the same treatment as Italian marble?
No. Indian marbles such as Makrana, Katni and Rajnagar are generally harder and less acid-sensitive. They take a different grit sequence and more grinding pressure, but the same acid-free cleaning discipline still applies.
What makes one job better than another?
The pad sequence and the honesty of the scope. Anyone can brighten a floor with wax and it fades in weeks. A proper sequence costs more time and holds for years.
Do you share before and after photos?
Yes. We photograph the test patch and the finished floor so you can compare, and keep them for warranty reference.
Are there extra charges on top of the quoted rate?
No, provided the scope does not change. The rate covers preparation, products, machines and clean-up. Coatings and slab repairs are the only optional items, and they are listed separately in the written quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is covered within the quoted rate for addresses in our service cities. For outlying areas we tell you the travel component upfront rather than adding it at handover.
What if the work needs more time than estimated?
That is our risk, not yours. The rate is per sq ft for the agreed scope, so a slow patch or a stubborn stain does not increase your bill.
