Granite Worktops Re Polishing in Delhi NCR
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. 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.
- Free slip-risk inspection of wet areas

How to judge a good job instead of a good sales pitch
| Check | What good looks like | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Test patch | Shown on a hidden area first | Skipped or refused |
| Evenness | Same gloss across the room | Bright at the door, dull corners |
| Joints | Clean and level | Dust trapped in open joints |
| Handover | Walkthrough and a care note | Payment taken, crew leaves |
Buff or full polish? A straight answer
| Condition of the floor | Correct job | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dull but even, no scratches | Buff only | Surface is sound, only the sheen is lost |
| Light scratches and lane wear | Diamond polish | Surface layer needs refining |
| Visible lippage or deep scratches | Grinding plus polish | Buffing cannot level stone |
| Wax or polish residue build-up | Strip, then polish | New finish will not bond over residue |
Buffing is the cheaper option and we will tell you when it is enough. Selling a full polish for a floor that only needed a buff is how a contractor gets a bad name.
Machines are matched to the job. A 400 mm single-disc machine for open floors, edge machines for skirtings and staircases, and hand blocks for corners and thresholds where a machine cannot safely reach.
Waste is removed the same day. Slurry, stripped residue, used pads and packaging leave with the crew instead of going into society bins or being left for you to dispose of.
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.

Granite Worktops Re Polishing - common questions
Is it better than a rubber mat?
A mat moves, traps water underneath and looks like a temporary fix. Surface treatment covers the whole floor area, including the parts a mat never reaches.
How long does it last?
Twelve to twenty-four months depending on cleaning products and traffic. Strong acid cleaners wear it out faster, so we tell you what to avoid.
Can it be applied on polished marble?
It can, but we usually recommend a satin finish with anti-skid treatment rather than a mirror gloss on wet-area stone, because gloss is inherently slippery when wet.
Does anti-skid treatment change how the tile looks?
No. It is transparent and does not alter colour or pattern. You feel slightly more grip underfoot, which is the point.
What makes one job better than another?
The pad sequence and the honesty of the scope. Anyone can brighten a floor with wax and it fades in weeks. A proper sequence costs more time and holds for years.
Do you share before and after photos?
Yes. We photograph the test patch and the finished floor so you can compare, and keep them for warranty reference.
How do I know if buffing is enough?
If the floor is evenly dull with no visible scratch pattern, a buff usually restores it. If you can see lanes, scratches or a step between slabs, it needs polishing or grinding, and we show you why on a test patch.
Is buffing a waste of money then?
Not at all. It is the correct maintenance step for a sound floor and costs a fraction of a full job. It becomes a waste only when the surface damage needs something deeper.
Can you do a test patch first?
Yes, on every job. One tile or a corner, so you judge the actual result before committing to the whole floor.
