Natural Stone Refinishing in Delhi NCR
Cleaning and polishing are two different jobs. A floor can be clean and still look grey because the sheen is gone, and it can be shiny and still be dirty if residue has been sealed in. We do both, in the right order. 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.
- Gloss reading and patchiness mapping
- Diamond polishing to prepare the surface
- Crystallisation applied in sections with a steel-wool pad under machine
- Even working to avoid swirl marks

Natural Stone Refinishing rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Polish plus light crystallisation | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Homes, moderate traffic |
| Full crystallisation with deep polish | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Lobbies, showrooms, heavy traffic |
| Crystallisation only | Quoted after inspection | Floor must already be sound |
| Repeat maintenance | Quoted after inspection | 12-24 months |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
Keeping the finish after the job is done
| Habit | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dry dust mopping | Removes grit before it scratches the surface |
| pH-neutral cleaner only | Acid etches marble and bleach dulls the finish |
| Damp mop, never flooding | Standing water leaves marks and weakens joints |
| Mats at entries | Captures grit where it enters |
| Felt pads under furniture | Stops drag marks on polished surfaces |
- A light maintenance polish every 12-18 months keeps gloss without a full job
- Commercial floors are usually re-polished annually, homes every two years
- Sealer or nano coating, where applied, is refreshed on the schedule we hand over
Quotes are itemised per surface rather than as one lump sum, so a mixed floor of marble, tile and stone is priced line by line and you can approve, defer or drop any line.
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.
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.

Natural Stone Refinishing - common questions
What is the difference between crystallisation and silicate?
Crystallisation builds a harder, glassier surface layer and suits heavy footfall. Silicate gives a wetter, deeper gloss and is gentler on the stone. Many projects use silicate for homes and crystallisation for lobbies.
Will it make the floor slippery?
A crystallised surface is smooth and reflective, so wet areas need care. In bathrooms and on stairs we recommend a satin finish with anti-skid treatment instead.
How long does it last?
Twelve to twenty-four months depending on traffic. Lobbies are usually re-treated annually, homes every two years.
Can it be done on a scratched floor?
It should not be. Crystallising a scratched surface sets the scratches in. We polish first, and if the damage is deep we recommend grinding.
How often does the floor need a maintenance polish?
Every 12-18 months for homes and every 8-12 months for commercial floors. It is a much smaller job than the original restoration.
Which cleaner should we use?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, dried after mopping. Avoid acid, bleach and abrasive powders, which are the main causes of dull and etched floors.
Can maintenance work be done room by room?
Yes. We schedule it in sections so the house stays usable, and it takes a fraction of the time of a full polish.
