High Gloss Silicate Marble Silicate Marble Polishing in Delhi NCR
Silicate treatment is what gives marble a wet, deep gloss instead of a thin surface shine. The chemical reacts with the calcium in the stone and hardens the top layer, so the finish holds through mopping and footfall far longer than plain polishing. 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.

High Gloss Silicate Marble Polishing Delhi rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Polish plus Sil200 | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Homes, standard traffic |
| Polish plus Sil800 | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Lobbies, hotels, heavy traffic |
| Silicate over an already polished floor | Quoted after inspection | Floor must still be sound |
| Repeat maintenance treatment | Quoted after inspection | Every 1-3 years |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
Reading a per sq ft quote correctly
- Ask whether grinding is included or quoted separately, because that is the single biggest swing in the number
- Ask what the rate excludes: coatings, crack filling, slab replacement and waste removal are the usual extras
- Check whether the area is charged on carpet area or built-up area, and whether staircases are priced per step
- Confirm the rate applies to the measured floor, not an estimate from photographs
- Insist on one written figure per surface where floors are mixed
| Rate band | Typical work included |
|---|---|
| Lowest band | Maintenance buff on a sound floor |
| Middle band | Diamond polishing, scratch and lane correction |
| Upper band | Grinding, deep correction, crystallisation or coating |
Two quotes can differ by 40 percent for the same floor simply because one includes grinding and the other does not. Compare the scope, not just the number.
Where a floor has mixed surfaces, each one gets its own pad sequence and compound. Treating Kota stone and imported marble with the same approach is how floors get patchy.
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.

High Gloss Silicate Marble Polishing Delhi - common questions
Is silicate the same as waxing the floor?
No. Wax sits on the surface and wipes off. Silicate reacts with the calcium in the marble and hardens the surface layer, so the gloss is part of the stone and survives mopping.
How long does it last?
Roughly two to three years in homes and one to two years in heavy-footfall lobbies. Using a pH-neutral cleaner instead of acid is the biggest factor.
Can it be applied to a floor that was never polished?
It can, but it is rarely worth it, because silicate amplifies whatever surface it meets and locks in scratches. We polish to 800-1500 grit first or refuse the treatment.
Will it make the floor slippery?
A high-gloss finish is smoother when wet. In bathrooms, kitchens and on staircases we recommend a satin or crystallised finish instead of mirror gloss.
How long before we can walk on it?
The floor is walkable the same evening. Only normal drying after the polishing stage is needed, with no curing days.
Why do per sq ft rates differ so much between contractors?
Almost always scope. A rate that excludes grinding, crack filling and coatings looks cheaper until those are added. Ask for the scope in writing and compare the total, not the headline rate.
Is the rate cheaper for larger areas?
Yes. Above roughly 1,000 sq ft we move to slab rates because setup and travel are spread over more work.
How do you measure the area?
On site, with you present, room by room. You see the measurement sheet before the quote is finalised.
