To Refinish Travertine Floors Travertine and Limestone Cleaning in Delhi NCR
The holes and pits in travertine hold dirt that a mop cannot lift. Cleaning has to reach into the texture, and any polishing afterwards is done as a light hone so the stone keeps its natural look. 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.

How to get a quote that does not change
- WhatsApp photos of the dullest area and the worst stain speed up the first estimate
- A free on-site inspection gives the final figure, because gloss readings and damage depth cannot be judged from a photo
- The written quote lists surface by surface: area, rate, scope and exclusions
- Coatings, crack repairs and slab replacement appear as separate optional lines
- The figure is valid for thirty days unless you ask us to hold it longer
If a contractor quotes a single number for a whole house without inspecting it, that number will change once work starts. We would rather quote after looking.
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.
Dust and water control is planned before we start: masking on skirting and fittings, wet working instead of dry, and slurry vacuumed as the machine moves rather than left to dry in corners.

Cost To Refinish Travertine Floors - common questions
Why is acid so damaging to travertine?
Travertine and limestone are calcium-based. Acid dissolves the surface binder, which leaves white etch marks and opens the texture, and the damage is permanent unless the surface is honed back.
Will cleaning remove dirt from the pits?
Yes, with the right brushes and neutral cleaner, but the pits will refill over time. Filling open pits at the same visit is the practical fix.
Can travertine be polished to a shine?
It can be honed or lightly polished, but a mirror finish on soft, pitted stone is neither natural nor durable. We usually recommend a honed finish with sealer.
How often should it be sealed?
Every twelve to twenty-four months for floors, and more often in wet areas. Sealer slows absorption rather than blocking it.
Is the price negotiable?
The rate per sq ft is not inflated to leave room for haggling. We scope honestly: if the floor needs only a buff, we quote a buff instead of a full diamond job, and tell you when the cheaper option will hold.
Do you take advance payment?
The package is confirmed in writing first. Advance for material is normal on large jobs; the balance is settled after the walkthrough.
Can I get a quote on WhatsApp?
Yes as an indicative band. Send photos in daylight of the dullest area, any stains and one close-up of the surface. The final figure is confirmed after the free on-site inspection.
How long is the quote valid?
Thirty days from the inspection date. Material and product rates move, so we do not hold figures indefinitely, but we will tell you if anything changes.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. There is no charge for the site visit or the measurement, and no obligation to proceed afterwards.
