Concrete Floor Polishing in Kolkata
A mixed floor is normal in Kolkata homes: Kota in one room, Italian marble in the living area and vitrified tile in the kitchen. One team can handle all three in the same visit, which also avoids arguments between contractors. 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.

What each surface needs
| Grit | What it does | When it is needed |
|---|---|---|
| 60 and 100 | Cuts back lippage, deep scratches and rough patches | Uneven joints, heavy damage |
| 200 and 400 | Removes grinding marks, levels the surface | After any coarse stage |
| 800 | Closes the pores and prepares the stone | Almost every job |
| 1500 and 3000 | Working gloss and final mirror pass | Homes, lobbies, showrooms |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.
How the job runs
- Inspection and test patch (free, 20 minutes)
- Masking of all surfaces that should not get slurry
- Sequential diamond passes, 30-45 minutes per 100 sq ft
- Finishing pass at 1500 or 3000 grit, coating if you approve
- Handover with before and after gloss comparison

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
Payment terms are stated upfront: advances apply only where material has to be bought for a large job, and the balance is settled after the walkthrough so you are never paying for work you have not seen.
Every job ends with a walkthrough. You see the gloss reading, the treated patches and the joints before the crew packs up, and the same crew owns any correction needed later.
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.

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.

Concrete Floor Polishing - common questions
How is diamond polishing different from the polish my housekeeping does?
Housekeeping applies cream or wax that sits on the surface and wears off in walking lanes within weeks. Diamond polishing refines the stone itself, so the finish is part of the floor.
How much marble does it remove?
Microns, not visible layers. Even a full sequence on a damaged floor only corrects the worn top surface; coarse grinding is the stage that removes more and we only use it when needed.
How glossy will the floor look?
Most marble reaches a near-mirror gloss. Statuario and Makrana take a very high gloss, while honed travertine and some Kota floors look better satin. We agree the target before starting.
How long does the finish last?
Two to three years in homes before a light maintenance pass; eight to twelve months in offices and hotels, longer with a silicate or nano coating.
Can it be done in an occupied home?
Yes. The process is wet, so dust stays low. We work room by room and leave dry paths so you can stay in the house.
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.
