Mosaic Polishing Mosaic Floor Polishing Delhi NCR
Mosaic and chip floors are unforgiving: the small pieces wear at different rates, so a poorly polished floor looks wavy even when it is clean. Level grinding followed by an even polish is what makes mosaic look sharp again. 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.

Mosaic Polishing Cost rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mosaic buffing | Rs 5-15 per sq ft | Light dulling |
| Grinding and polishing | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Wax build-up, uneven surface |
| Deep restoration | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Cracks, chips, heavy wear |
| Sealer or wax | Quoted after inspection | Finish choice matters |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
What changes the price for mosaic polishing cost in Delhi NCR
| Factor | Effect on rate | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Total area | Bigger areas cost less per sq ft | Slab rates above 1,000 sq ft |
| Damage depth | Grinding raises the rate | Decided by the test patch |
| Stone type | Imported and filled slabs take longer | See the surface table |
| Access | Upper floors and corners take longer | Confirmed before booking |
Ask for one written rate per surface. A single number for the whole house without an inspection always changes later.
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.
The written rate is the final amount for the agreed scope. If we open the floor and find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you before continuing, not after.
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.

Mosaic Polishing Cost - common questions
Is mosaic harder to polish than marble?
It takes longer because the surface has to be levelled across many small pieces, and joints need filling. Expect a slightly higher rate per sq ft.
Will grinding loosen the chips?
Grinding is controlled and wet, and we re-fix any loose chip before starting. Where large areas are already lifting, we tell you before work begins.
How long does the finish last?
Two to three years in homes with a sealer; commercial floors are usually re-polished annually.
Can old mosaic look new again?
It can look dramatically better. Grinding levels the chips and polishing restores colour and shine. Chips that are missing or broken can be filled, but exact colour matching on very old mosaic is not always possible.
Is the price negotiable?
The rate per sq ft is not inflated to leave room for haggling. We scope honestly: if the floor needs only a buff, we quote a buff instead of a full diamond job, and tell you when the cheaper option will hold.
Do you take advance payment?
The package is confirmed in writing first. Advance for material is normal on large jobs; the balance is settled after the walkthrough.
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.
