Marble Floor Grinding in Delhi NCR
Grinding is the heavy stage before polishing, and the only way to fix what polishing cannot touch: slabs at different heights, dark traffic lanes, deep scratches, paint and cement splatter, and years of built-up polish residue. 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.
- Free inspection measuring lippage and slab thickness

What each surface needs
| Problem | What grinding does | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Lippage between slabs | Cuts the high slab to floor level | Flat floor, no trip lines |
| Dark traffic lanes | Removes the compacted worn layer | Uniform colour across the room |
| Deep scratches and gouges | Cuts back below the scratch depth | Gone, or faint on very deep damage |
| Cement, POP and paint splatter | Removes it without acid | Clean stone, no chemical risk |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.
How the job runs
- Inspection, lippage measurement and hollow test (free)
- Masking of walls, skirting, doors and furniture
- Coarse grinding, 40-60 minutes per 100 sq ft
- Refining at 200 and 400 grit, 30-45 minutes per 100 sq ft

Marble Grinding - common questions
Will grinding make my floor noticeably thinner?
It removes a fraction of a millimetre at the surface and more only where slabs are high. Average floors take several grinding cycles over their life. We measure thickness during the free inspection first.
Does grinding create dust all over the house?
We grind wet, so dust becomes slurry rather than airborne powder, and we mask doors and skirting. Slurry is vacuumed and washed before we leave.
Can lippage between marble and tile be levelled?
Usually yes where the two surfaces meet at different heights. Where the step is more than a few millimetres, an exact match may not be possible and we say so before starting.
Is grinding always followed by polishing?
Yes in practice. Grinding leaves machine marks until the finer grits and polishing smooth them out, which is why the two stages are quoted together.
What if a slab is hollow?
Grinding cannot re-bond it. Loose slabs must be re-laid, and we quote that separately rather than hiding the problem under a polish.
