Marble Floor Polishing in Diamond Harbour Road
Marble does not fade evenly. Doorways, kitchen entries and stair landings wear first, which is why floors start looking patchy. We polish the whole surface back to one uniform gloss so no room looks newer than the rest. Kolkata buildings are older and often mix marble, Kota and mosaic in the same flat, with high humidity and monsoon damp that dulls floors faster than in Delhi. Salt-laden air near the river also leaves a film that looks like stone wear but is surface deposit.

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.
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.

- Klindex and Taski machines with fresh diamond segments
- Quote fixed in writing before the first pad runs

Serving Kolkata and nearby areas
Kolkata jobs are scheduled as a fixed visit batch so the crew and machines travel together and travel cost is not loaded onto your rate. Kolkata buildings are older and often mix marble, Kota and mosaic in the same flat, with high humidity and monsoon damp that dulls floors faster than in Delhi. Salt-laden air near the river also leaves a film that looks like stone wear but is surface deposit. Inspections are booked within 24-48 hours and most jobs take 1-2 days per flat.

Marble Floor Polishing - common questions
How much does marble floor polishing cost in Kolkata?
Guide bands run Rs 5-15 per sq ft for a maintenance buff, Rs 15-25 for diamond polishing and Rs 25-35 for deep diamond work with crystallisation. Stone type, scratch depth, area and access decide your final number, which we confirm in writing after the free inspection.
How long does the job take?
A two-person crew finishes about 800-1,000 sq ft in a working day. Grinding plus polishing on the same area adds roughly half a day. The floor is walkable the same evening.
Will polishing thin my marble?
Polishing removes microns, not millimetres. We test a patch first and step through grits gradually, so only the worn surface layer is corrected and the slab keeps its thickness.
Do you use acid on marble?
Never. Marble is calcium-based, so acid etches it. We clean with pH-neutral products and treat oil, rust and paint stains with poultice instead.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Yes. Polishing is done wet so dust stays low, furniture edges are masked and we leave dry walking paths overnight.
Do you cover Diamond Harbour Road?
Yes. Diamond Harbour Road is on our regular route with the Kolkata team, and inspections there are usually booked within 24-48 hours. For larger areas we schedule a fixed route day so travel cost is shared.
How soon can work start in Diamond Harbour Road?
Inspection first, then scheduling. Most Diamond Harbour Road jobs begin within a week of approval, and single-room works are often earlier if you are flexible on the date.
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.
