Silicate Marble Polishing in Kanpur
Silicate treatment is what gives marble a wet, deep gloss instead of a thin surface shine. The chemical reacts with the calcium in the stone and hardens the top layer, so the finish holds through mopping and footfall far longer than plain polishing. Work in Kanpur 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.

What each surface needs
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Grey overall haze | Mop residue and soap film | Strip, then polish |
| Dull traffic lanes | Surface wear in walkways | Diamond polish those lanes to match |
| Yellow or brown patches | Oil, rust or water seepage | Poultice, then polish |

How our charges are built
| Charge component | What it covers | How it varies |
|---|---|---|
| Rate per sq ft | Cleaning, grinding, polishing, finishing | Surface type and area |
| Damage correction | Scratch, etch and stain treatment | Severity, decided on the test patch |
| Access and edges | Staircases, corners, upper floors | Hand work needed |
| Coatings | Silicate, crystallisation, nano, sealer | Optional, quoted separately |
- Nothing is added mid-job. If we find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you
- Material is included in the rate, not billed as an extra
- Slab rates apply above 1,000 sq ft instead of per-room pricing
- One written figure per surface, so a mixed floor is priced line by line
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.
Why clients book us
- No acid on calcite stone at any stage
- Test patch shown before full commitment
- Whiteness and gloss compared before and after
- Crystallisation, silicate and nano options offered honestly

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Can yellow stains be removed?
Surface yellowing from polish residue or hard water lifts during polishing. Yellowing caused by water seepage from below, or inside a resin-filled slab, cannot be polished out, and we test a patch to show you which type you have.
Will polishing make it whiter than new?
No. It restores the stone to its clean colour by removing the dulled and stained top layer. We compare whiteness before and after so you can see the real change.
How do I keep it white afterwards?
Use only pH-neutral cleaner with clean water, never acid or bleach, and dry promptly. Sealing in entry areas helps stop grime soaking into the surface.
Why does white marble go grey?
Almost always residue and wear, not the stone itself. Soap film, mop haze and surface scratches scatter light, which reads as grey. Stripping and polishing restores the original tone.
Are there extra charges on top of the quoted rate?
No, provided the scope does not change. The rate covers preparation, products, machines and clean-up. Coatings and slab repairs are the only optional items, and they are listed separately in the written quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is covered within the quoted rate for addresses in our service cities. For outlying areas we tell you the travel component upfront rather than adding it at handover.
What if the work needs more time than estimated?
That is our risk, not yours. The rate is per sq ft for the agreed scope, so a slow patch or a stubborn stain does not increase your bill.
