Natural Stone Restoration Marble Restoration in Delhi NCR
Polishing brings back gloss. Restoration fixes what dulled the floor in the first place: white etch marks under the water cooler, rust rings under planters, hairline cracks at the joints, chipped stair edges and slabs sitting at different heights. 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.

In most homes both are present in the same flat, which is why we quote surface by surface instead of giving one blended rate.
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.

Natural Stone Restoration - common questions
Can etched marble really be repaired?
Yes if the etching is on the surface. Etch marks are shallow chemical burns of the polished layer, so light grinding and a matched polish remove them. Deep etching may leave a faint mark, which we show you on a test patch first.
Will a repaired crack be invisible?
With a colour-matched fill and re-polishing it blends into the veining and is hard to find from standing height. Under close direct light a faint line can remain, which is normal and still far better than an open crack collecting dirt.
Do treated stains come back?
Only if the cause is still there. A rust ring returns if the same wet metal leg sits on the floor again, so we recommend fixing the cause and sealing the area.
How long does restoration take?
A typical 1,000 sq ft apartment takes one to two days including poultice time, and the floor behaves like a normally polished floor afterwards.
Is restoration cheaper than replacing the floor?
Almost always. It costs a fraction of removal and re-laying, avoids matching problems with imported stone, and keeps the house usable. Replacement only makes sense for hollow, cracked-through or fully stained slabs.
Can tiles be polished like marble?
Tiles are refined and cleaned, not ground like stone. Polishing a vitrified tile past its factory finish wears the surface, so we clean and seal instead, or polish only where the tile type allows it.
Which is better for a bathroom floor?
Neither should be mirror-glossy when wet. Tile with anti-skid treatment, or honed stone with anti-skid, is the safer and more practical choice.
Do floors with both need separate visits?
No. One crew handles tiles, grout and stone in the same visit, which also avoids the joint line between two trades becoming anyone's excuse.
