Diamond Marble Polishing in Puducherry
Cream polish and wax hide dullness for a few weeks. Diamond polishing removes the dull layer itself, working from coarse grit to a mirror pass, so the finish survives normal mopping and footfall. Work in Puducherry is planned as a scheduled visit: the crew and machines travel together on a fixed date, and the rate is written down after the floor is seen in person or from clear photos.

What a proper job must include
| Stage | Non-negotiable |
|---|---|
| Before starting | Gloss reading, damage map, hidden test patch, written rate |
| Preparation | Skirting, fittings and furniture edges masked |
| During | Correct pad sequence for the stone, no skipped grits |
| Finishing | Edges and corners hand-done, not left dull |
| Handover | Walkthrough with you, after-care note, waste removed |
Use this list to compare any quote you receive, ours included. If a contractor skips the test patch or the handover walkthrough, the finish will show it 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.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.
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.

Diamond 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.
What should I check before paying?
That every surface you were quoted for has been finished, that edges and corners are not dull, that joints are clean and that the waste has been removed. Walk the floor with the crew still present, not after they leave.
Do you provide a written scope?
Yes. Surface by surface, with rate and scope, plus any optional items listed separately. Nothing is added after the work starts unless you approve a change.
Is a test patch really necessary?
It is the cheapest insurance on the job. One tile or a corner shows you the real result before you commit the whole floor.
