Marble Floor Polishing in Ramkrishna Mission Road
If your marble has lost its gloss, shows grey walking lanes or looks hazy after mopping, the finish has worn through to the stone. We restore it with a graded diamond sequence and lock the shine in, so the floor holds its look instead of going flat again in a few weeks. 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.
- Free inspection including slab-thickness and hollow check
- Masking and furniture protection

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.
Old polish, wax and cleaning residue are stripped before any new finish goes on. Layering a fresh treatment over residue is what makes floors look grey again within weeks.
Weight and load matter on upper floors and terraces. Where a slab has been laid over a void or a lightweight screed, we reduce machine weight and speed rather than risk cracking the base.
Quotes are itemised per surface rather than as one lump sum, so a mixed floor of marble, tile and stone is priced line by line and you can approve, defer or drop any line.
Why clients book us
- Residue stripped so the new finish bonds to stone, not to old wax
- Correct grit sequence per stone hardness
- One team for grinding, polishing and sealing
- 12 years of Indian marble and stone work
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
Does Indian marble need the same treatment as Italian marble?
No. Indian marbles such as Makrana, Katni and Rajnagar are generally harder and less acid-sensitive. They take a different grit sequence and more grinding pressure, but the same acid-free cleaning discipline still applies.
Can old polish and wax be removed?
Yes. Grinding strips the residue layer completely. That is the only way a new polish bonds to the stone instead of sitting on top of old compound.
Will grinding change the colour of my floor?
It restores the original colour by removing the worn and stained top layer. Floors that have faded unevenly across rooms come back to one uniform shade.
How long does it take?
Most apartments are ground and polished in one to two days, and the floor is walkable the same evening as the final pass.
Do you polish Makrana that has gone grey?
Yes. Greyness is normally surface dirt, mop haze and worn polish. It lifts with grinding and polishing, and we show you a test patch on a hidden corner first.
Do you cover Ramkrishna Mission Road?
Yes. Ramkrishna Mission 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 Ramkrishna Mission Road?
Inspection first, then scheduling. Most Ramkrishna Mission 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.
