Marble Repair Polish in Kolkata
Marble, granite, tile, terrazzo and wooden floors all dull for different reasons, and treating them with the same machine and pads is how floors get damaged. We identify the surface first, then use the sequence that suits it. 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.

How to judge a good job instead of a good sales pitch
| 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 |
| Handover | Walkthrough and a care note | Payment taken, crew leaves |
Reading a per sq ft quote correctly
- Ask whether grinding is included or quoted separately, because that is the single biggest swing in the number
- Ask what the rate excludes: coatings, crack filling, slab replacement and waste removal are the usual extras
- Check whether the area is charged on carpet area or built-up area, and whether staircases are priced per step
- Confirm the rate applies to the measured floor, not an estimate from photographs
- Insist on one written figure per surface where floors are mixed
| Rate band | Typical work included |
|---|---|
| Lowest band | Maintenance buff on a sound floor |
| Middle band | Diamond polishing, scratch and lane correction |
| Upper band | Grinding, deep correction, crystallisation or coating |
Two quotes can differ by 40 percent for the same floor simply because one includes grinding and the other does not. Compare the scope, not just the number.
Weight and load matter on upper floors and terraces. Where a slab has been laid over a void or a lightweight screed, we reduce machine weight and speed rather than risk cracking the base.
Team composition is consistent: a supervisor plus two machine operators on standard jobs, with additional hands for staircases, multiple floors or tight access. The same supervisor stays with the job start to finish.
The written rate is the final amount for the agreed scope. If we open the floor and find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you before continuing, not after.

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 Marble Repair Polish - common questions
How much does marble floor polishing cost in Kolkata?
Guide bands run Rs 5-15 per sq ft for a maintenance buff, Rs 15-25 for diamond polishing and Rs 25-35 for deep diamond work with crystallisation. Stone type, scratch depth, area and access decide your final number, which we confirm in writing after the free inspection.
How long does the job take?
A two-person crew finishes about 800-1,000 sq ft in a working day. Grinding plus polishing on the same area adds roughly half a day. The floor is walkable the same evening.
Will polishing thin my marble?
Polishing removes microns, not millimetres. We test a patch first and step through grits gradually, so only the worn surface layer is corrected and the slab keeps its thickness.
Do you use acid on marble?
Never. Marble is calcium-based, so acid etches it. We clean with pH-neutral products and treat oil, rust and paint stains with poultice instead.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Yes. Polishing is done wet so dust stays low, furniture edges are masked and we leave dry walking paths overnight.
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.
Why do per sq ft rates differ so much between contractors?
Almost always scope. A rate that excludes grinding, crack filling and coatings looks cheaper until those are added. Ask for the scope in writing and compare the total, not the headline rate.
Is the rate cheaper for larger areas?
Yes. Above roughly 1,000 sq ft we move to slab rates because setup and travel are spread over more work.
How do you measure the area?
On site, with you present, room by room. You see the measurement sheet before the quote is finalised.
