Carrara Marble Polishing in Delhi NCR
Cleaning and polishing are two different jobs. A floor can be clean and still look grey because the sheen is gone, and it can be shiny and still be dirty if residue has been sealed in. We do both, in the right order. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

Keeping the finish after the job is done
| Habit | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dry dust mopping | Removes grit before it scratches the surface |
| pH-neutral cleaner only | Acid etches marble and bleach dulls the finish |
| Damp mop, never flooding | Standing water leaves marks and weakens joints |
| Mats at entries | Captures grit where it enters |
| Felt pads under furniture | Stops drag marks on polished surfaces |
- A light maintenance polish every 12-18 months keeps gloss without a full job
- Commercial floors are usually re-polished annually, homes every two years
- Sealer or nano coating, where applied, is refreshed on the schedule we hand over
Timing is agreed before the crew arrives: arrival window, the room sequence and the handover time are confirmed in writing, so nobody is waiting around or guessing when the floor will be free.
Quality is checked twice: once mid-job, when the first section is finished and you can see the achievable gloss, and once at handover when the whole surface should read evenly under daylight and under your own lighting.
Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.

Carrara Marble Polishing - common questions
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.
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.
How often does the floor need a maintenance polish?
Every 12-18 months for homes and every 8-12 months for commercial floors. It is a much smaller job than the original restoration.
Which cleaner should we use?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, dried after mopping. Avoid acid, bleach and abrasive powders, which are the main causes of dull and etched floors.
Can maintenance work be done room by room?
Yes. We schedule it in sections so the house stays usable, and it takes a fraction of the time of a full polish.
