Marble Floor Polishing in Southern Avenue
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.

We show you this on a test patch before quoting the full job, so the result you see at handover is the result you were promised.
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.

- Quote fixed in writing before the first pad runs
- Silicate Sil200 and Sil800, Epoxy 1005 and Akemi nano in stock

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 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.
How often should marble be polished?
Homes usually every 18-24 months because of dust and monsoon film; offices and showrooms every 8-12 months.
Do you cover Southern Avenue?
Yes. Southern Avenue 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 Southern Avenue?
Inspection first, then scheduling. Most Southern Avenue jobs begin within a week of approval, and single-room works are often earlier if you are flexible on the date.
Can the floor look exactly new again?
On sound stone with surface wear, yes. Where damage has gone deeper, such as acid burns or stains soaked through the slab, the result is a major improvement rather than perfection, and we tell you which one to expect before starting.
Why do some floors come back brighter than others?
Stone type and previous care. White and hard marbles take a higher gloss; softer or previously acid-washed floors top out lower. Consistent cleaning products are what keep the difference from widening.
Do you guarantee the same result on every surface?
No, and no honest contractor should. A mixed floor gets one uniform gloss level chosen after testing each surface, which sometimes means a satin finish rather than mirror.
