Granite Fitting Installation in Assam
Replacements and patch repairs go wrong when the new tile is laid at a different height to the old floor. We level the transition so the repair does not become a permanent eye-catcher. Work in Assam 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.

- Masking of walls and fittings
- pH-neutral cleaning only
- Filler touch-up on open pits

What each surface needs
| Surface | Correct approach | Never use |
|---|---|---|
| Travertine | Neutral clean, hone, seal | Acid cleaners |
| Limestone | Neutral clean, seal | Acid and abrasive pads |
| Honed marble | Neutral clean, light polish | Acid and bleach |
| Pitted areas | Clean into the pits, refill | High-pressure washing |
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 pH test (free)
- Masking of surrounding surfaces
- Neutral cleaning of the texture
- Filler touch-up and light honing
- Sealing and handover
Granite Fitting Installation rates in Assam
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Deep cleaning | Rs 5-15 per sq ft | Neutral products |
| Cleaning and honing | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Evening the surface |
| Filler touch-up | Per patch | Open pits and holes |
| Sealing | Quoted after inspection | Impregnating sealer |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
Marble and granite need different treatment
| Marble | Granite | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | Softer, scratches more visibly | Harder, resists scratches |
| Acid | Etches immediately, never use | Dulls the surface, avoid |
| Finishing | Diamond pads up to 3000 grit | Its own pad set and compounds |
| Typical aftercare | Sealer every 12-24 months | Sealer on kitchen and stairs |
| Gloss achievable | Very high on hard whites | Deep lustre, not mirror |
We keep separate pad sets and compounds for each, because using marble products on granite (or the reverse) is the fastest way to end up with a hazy surface.
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.

Granite Fitting Installation - 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.
Can you polish a floor that mixes marble and granite?
Yes, and it is common in lobbies and staircases. Each surface is polished to a matching level of sheen rather than the same pad sequence, so the two read as one floor.
Is granite easier to maintain than marble?
It is less acid-sensitive and harder, so it stains and scratches less. It still dulls from repeated wrong cleaning, and it still needs sealing in wet or greasy areas.
Why does marble etch while granite does not?
Marble is calcium-based, so acid dissolves the surface and leaves a white mark. Granite is silicate-based and resists acid better, though strong acid still dulls its polish.
