Granite Floor Polishing in Patna
Dull granite is normally a surface problem, not a stone problem. Buffing with the right pads and a sealer brings back the depth without the risk that comes from using marble products on granite. Patna homes lean heavily on marble and Kota stone laid years ago, and dust plus monsoon humidity make those floors look permanently grey. Grinding is usually needed before polishing shows any real gloss.

What each surface needs
| Marble | Character | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Statuario | White with bold grey veining | Etches fast, needs prompt spill control |
| Carrara | Soft white, subtle grey | Softer stone, dulls quickly in entries |
| Calacatta | Warm white with gold veins | Needs gentle pads to avoid vein bleeding |
| Perlatino and Botticino | Warm beige with fine veins | Yellowing if filled slabs are over-polished |
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
- Identify the marble type and check for resin filling (free)
- Masking with acid-proof covering
- Diamond passes at controlled speed, 30-45 minutes per 100 sq ft
- Polish to the agreed gloss, then seal or coat if required
- Before and after comparison plus a list of products never to use

Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
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.
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.

Granite Floor Polishing - common questions
Why does Italian marble dull faster than Indian marble?
It is usually the cleaning, not the stone. White imported marbles are calcium-based, so acidic cleaners and lemon juice etch the surface and leave white patches within days. A pH-neutral cleaner and clean-water mopping solves most of it.
Will polishing change the pattern?
No. Diamond polishing removes the damaged top layer; it does not bleach or alter the veining. On filled slabs we work at lower speed specifically to avoid yellowing.
Can yellowed Italian marble be corrected?
Polish residue and hard-water film lift during diamond polishing. Yellowing inside a filled slab is internal and cannot be polished out, so we test a patch and tell you the realistic outcome first.
How often does it need polishing?
Homes every 18-24 months with neutral cleaning. Lobbies, showrooms and entries every 8-12 months, longer with a sealer or nano coating.
Is a sealer worth it?
Yes in working areas. It slows absorption of oil, tea and coloured liquids, which buys time to wipe a spill, and needs refreshing every 12-24 months.
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.
