Silicate Marble Polishing in Meghalaya
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 Meghalaya 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.
- Free inspection of gloss, stains and joint condition
- Masking of skirting, walls and fittings
- Granite-specific pad sequence for the stone type
- Buffing to bring back depth and clarity

What each surface needs
| Surface | Process | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Dark granite (black, brown) | Fine buff with matched pads | Deep reflective lustre |
| Light granite (grey, speckled) | Polish, then seal | Even satin to gloss |
| Granite kitchen platform | Clean, buff, seal | Stain-resistant working surface |
| Granite staircase and threshold | Edge buff and hand polish | Uniform gloss across edges |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.

What improves, and what cannot be fixed
| Condition | Realistic outcome |
|---|---|
| Dull, even wear | Full gloss returns, looks new |
| Scratch lanes in walkways | Removed, surface level again |

| Stains soaked through the slab | Lightened, not erased |
We show you this on a test patch before quoting the full job, so the result you see at handover is the result you were promised.
Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.
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.
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.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Can dull granite really be brought back?
Yes if the dullness is surface wear. Buffing with the correct pads restores depth and reflectivity. Stone that has been damaged by acid or heavy abrasion may need grinding first, and we will tell you after seeing it.
Does granite need sealing?
Granite is less porous than marble but still benefits from sealing in kitchens and on staircases where water and oil sit. Sealed surfaces hold their look noticeably longer.
Can acid cleaners be used on granite?
No. Acid dulls the polished surface and can bleach the colour. Use pH-neutral cleaner and dry promptly.
How often should granite be polished?
Homes at 18-24 months, commercial floors at 8-12 months depending on traffic and cleaning method.
Can the floor look exactly new again?
On sound stone with surface wear, yes. Where damage has gone deeper, such as acid burns or stains soaked through the slab, the result is a major improvement rather than perfection, and we tell you which one to expect before starting.
Why do some floors come back brighter than others?
Stone type and previous care. White and hard marbles take a higher gloss; softer or previously acid-washed floors top out lower. Consistent cleaning products are what keep the difference from widening.
Do you guarantee the same result on every surface?
No, and no honest contractor should. A mixed floor gets one uniform gloss level chosen after testing each surface, which sometimes means a satin finish rather than mirror.
