Katni Marble Polishing in Patna
Most Indian marble floors in Patna have never been professionally ground, so the gloss sits on top of years of old polish. We take it back to clean stone, then polish it properly. 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.

Katni Marble Polishing rates in Patna
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-skid treatment | Per sq ft | Bathrooms, balconies |
| Stairs and ramps | Per sq ft or per step | Edges and nosing |
| Treatment with deep clean | Per sq ft | Soap film removal |
| Re-application | Per sq ft | After 12-24 months |
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.
Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.
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.
Protection is planned, not improvised. Furniture is moved to one side and covered, curtain hems are lifted, and a walking route is kept clear throughout so the household can still move around.

Katni Marble 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.
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.
