Marble Polishing in Delhi NCR
Stone floors collect a layer that mopping cannot remove: cleaning residue, soap film and mineral deposit. It looks like dull stone but it is actually surface build-up, and stripping it is the first step before any polishing. 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.
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.
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.
Waste is removed the same day. Slurry, stripped residue, used pads and packaging leave with the crew instead of going into society bins or being left for you to dispose of.

Professional Marble Polishing - common questions
How often should marble be deep cleaned?
Every six to twelve months in homes, and every three to six months in commercial spaces. Daily mopping with the wrong product makes build-up worse, not better.
Which cleaner should we use daily?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, and dry the surface afterwards. Acid and abrasive cleaners damage polished marble within a few uses.
Can cleaning remove white patches near taps?
Hard-water scale yes, with a descaling clean. Etch marks caused by acid need light grinding and polishing, which is a different job.
Do I need cleaning or polishing?
Test one patch with a clean damp cloth. If it wipes clean but still looks grey, the surface is worn and needs polishing. If the cloth comes away dirty or the floor is streaky, it needs deep cleaning.
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.
