Silicate Marble Polishing in Bhuj
If your polished floor looks bright but shallow, silicate is usually the missing step. It is applied after diamond polishing and bonds with the stone surface, deepening the gloss and slowing down how fast it dulls. Work in Bhuj is planned as a scheduled visit: the crew and machines travel together on a fixed date, and the rate is written down after the floor is seen in person or from clear photos.
- Gloss and polish-condition check first
- Masking of skirting, walls and fittings

What each surface needs
| Treatment | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sil200 | Fast build, strong initial gloss | Homes and moderate traffic |
| Sil800 | Deeper wet look, holds gloss longer | Lobbies, showrooms, hotels |
| Over new stone | Protects an unworn surface | Recently laid or newly polished floors |
| Over worn stone | Short-lived unless polished first | Only after a full diamond sequence |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.
How the job runs
- Assessment to confirm silicate suits the stone and the room
- Diamond polishing to 800-1500 grit so there is a finish worth locking in
- Silicate applied in sections and buffed while it reacts
- Second pass on heavy areas for even gloss
- Gloss check and a list of cleaners to avoid

Questions we are asked most
How is the rate decided?
Surface type, damage depth, total area and access, confirmed by measurement during a free inspection. You get one written figure per surface, not a lump sum.
How long does the floor take to be usable?
Most jobs are walkable the same evening. Coated floors need a few hours longer before furniture goes back, and we tell you the exact window at handover.
Can you work while we are living at home?
Yes. Work is done room by room, furniture edges masked and dry walking paths left overnight.
What if we are not satisfied?
Walk the floor with the crew before they leave. Anything you flag is corrected on the spot or scheduled, and that is why we insist on the handover walkthrough.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.
Protection is planned, not improvised. Furniture is moved to one side and covered, curtain hems are lifted, and a walking route is kept clear throughout so the household can still move around.
Access is confirmed before the visit: parking, lift use, gate entry, working-hour restrictions and any society paperwork. Sorting this in advance is what stops a scheduled job from becoming a wasted trip.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Is silicate the same as waxing the floor?
No. Wax sits on the surface and wipes off. Silicate reacts with the calcium in the marble and hardens the surface layer, so the gloss is part of the stone and survives mopping.
How long does it last?
Roughly two to three years in homes and one to two years in heavy-footfall lobbies. Using a pH-neutral cleaner instead of acid is the biggest factor.
Can it be applied to a floor that was never polished?
It can, but it is rarely worth it, because silicate amplifies whatever surface it meets and locks in scratches. We polish to 800-1500 grit first or refuse the treatment.
Will it make the floor slippery?
A high-gloss finish is smoother when wet. In bathrooms, kitchens and on staircases we recommend a satin or crystallised finish instead of mirror gloss.
How long before we can walk on it?
The floor is walkable the same evening. Only normal drying after the polishing stage is needed, with no curing days.
Do you bring your own machines and products?
Yes. Machines, pads, compounds and masking material all come with the crew. You only need to provide a water point and a working power socket.
How do you handle payment?
The package is confirmed in writing first. Advance for material applies on large jobs, and the balance is settled after the walkthrough, not before.
Is there a warranty?
Workmanship terms are confirmed in writing on the quotation, so you know exactly what is covered and for how long before the job starts.
