Granite Polishing in Delhi NCR
Dull granite is normally a surface problem, not a stone problem. Buffing with the right pads and a sealer brings back the depth without the risk that comes from using marble products on granite. 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.

Buff or full polish? A straight answer
| Condition of the floor | Correct job | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dull but even, no scratches | Buff only | Surface is sound, only the sheen is lost |
| Light scratches and lane wear | Diamond polish | Surface layer needs refining |
| Visible lippage or deep scratches | Grinding plus polish | Buffing cannot level stone |
| Wax or polish residue build-up | Strip, then polish | New finish will not bond over residue |
Buffing is the cheaper option and we will tell you when it is enough. Selling a full polish for a floor that only needed a buff is how a contractor gets a bad name.
Old polish, wax and cleaning residue are stripped before any new finish goes on. Layering a fresh treatment over residue is what makes floors look grey again within weeks.
Weight and load matter on upper floors and terraces. Where a slab has been laid over a void or a lightweight screed, we reduce machine weight and speed rather than risk cracking the base.
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.

Professional Granite Polishing - common questions
Will nano coating make my marble stain-proof?
No, and nobody should promise that. It slows absorption so you have time to wipe a spill. Leaving lemon juice or oil on the surface for hours can still mark the stone.
Does it change the appearance?
No. It is transparent and leaves the original colour and veining untouched, unlike a lacquer or film coating.
Can it be applied without polishing first?
It can, but it is a waste of money. Coating over scratches and dull patches locks them in, so we polish first or decline the job.
How long does it last?
Typically 12-24 months depending on traffic and cleaning products. Two applications a year in commercial spaces is normal.
Does it stop the floor from being slippery?
It does not increase slip resistance. For bathrooms and staircases we recommend an anti-skid treatment alongside or instead.
How do I know if buffing is enough?
If the floor is evenly dull with no visible scratch pattern, a buff usually restores it. If you can see lanes, scratches or a step between slabs, it needs polishing or grinding, and we show you why on a test patch.
Is buffing a waste of money then?
Not at all. It is the correct maintenance step for a sound floor and costs a fraction of a full job. It becomes a waste only when the surface damage needs something deeper.
Can you do a test patch first?
Yes, on every job. One tile or a corner, so you judge the actual result before committing to the whole floor.
