Marble Surface Polishing in Kolkata
A mixed floor is normal in Kolkata homes: Kota in one room, Italian marble in the living area and vitrified tile in the kitchen. One team can handle all three in the same visit, which also avoids arguments between contractors. 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 of porosity and stain history
- Deep cleaning before sealing (sealer over dirt seals dirt)

Marble Surface Polishing rates in Kolkata
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Clean and seal | Rs 5-15 per sq ft | Dry floors and walls |
| Strip, clean and seal | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Old coating present |
| High-absorption stone, two coats | Quoted after inspection | Limestone and travertine |
| Re-seal cycle | Per sq ft | Every 12-24 months |
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
Team composition is consistent: a supervisor plus two machine operators on standard jobs, with additional hands for staircases, multiple floors or tight access. The same supervisor stays with the job start to finish.
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.
Timing is agreed before the crew arrives: arrival window, the room sequence and the handover time are confirmed in writing, so nobody is waiting around or guessing when the floor will be free.
Why clients book us
- Impregnating sealers used, not film coatings

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 Surface Polishing - common questions
Will sealing make my marble stain-proof?
No, and any contractor saying that is overselling. Sealing buys you time to wipe a spill. Lemon juice or oil left overnight can still mark sealed stone.
How often should stone be re-sealed?
Every twelve to twenty-four months for working areas like kitchens, entries and washbasins. Dry bedroom floors and walls hold sealer much longer.
Can sealer be applied over an old polish?
No. It will not bond, and it traps the old residue underneath. Cleaning or stripping first is part of the job, not an optional extra.
Does sealing change the colour?
Impregnating sealers are colourless. If a sealer darkens the stone, it is a film-forming product rather than an impregnator, which is a different finish choice.
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.
