Marble Polishing in Kolkata
Stone floors collect a layer that mopping cannot remove: cleaning residue, soap film and mineral deposit. It looks like dull stone but it is actually surface build-up, and stripping it is the first step before any polishing. 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.

| Deep cleaning and stripping | Rs 5-15 per sq ft | Residue and film removal |
| Cleaning plus polishing | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Dull but sound floors |
| Deep clean with grinding | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Heavy wear and stains |

Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
How our charges are built
| Charge component | What it covers | How it varies |
|---|---|---|
| Rate per sq ft | Cleaning, grinding, polishing, finishing | Surface type and area |
| Damage correction | Scratch, etch and stain treatment | Severity, decided on the test patch |
| Access and edges | Staircases, corners, upper floors | Hand work needed |
| Coatings | Silicate, crystallisation, nano, sealer | Optional, quoted separately |
- Nothing is added mid-job. If we find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you
- Material is included in the rate, not billed as an extra
- Slab rates apply above 1,000 sq ft instead of per-room pricing
- One written figure per surface, so a mixed floor is priced line by line
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.

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 Polishing Services - common questions
Is deep cleaning enough without polishing?
It restores cleanliness but not sheen. If the surface has micro-scratches and worn gloss, cleaning alone will still look grey, and polishing is needed.
Which cleaner should we use afterwards?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water. Acidic and abrasive products damage polished stone surfaces within a few uses.
How often should stone floors be deep cleaned?
Every six to twelve months for homes and every three to six months in commercial spaces, depending on footfall and cleaning method.
Why does my floor look dull right after mopping?
Because you are looking at cleaning residue and soap film, not the stone. Mopping with the wrong product keeps adding a layer. Stripping it and polishing the surface is what brings the colour back.
Are there extra charges on top of the quoted rate?
No, provided the scope does not change. The rate covers preparation, products, machines and clean-up. Coatings and slab repairs are the only optional items, and they are listed separately in the written quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is covered within the quoted rate for addresses in our service cities. For outlying areas we tell you the travel component upfront rather than adding it at handover.
What if the work needs more time than estimated?
That is our risk, not yours. The rate is per sq ft for the agreed scope, so a slow patch or a stubborn stain does not increase your bill.
