Silicate Marble Polishing in Patiala
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 Patiala 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 reading and damage mapping before we quote
- Masking of walls, skirting and furniture edges

What each surface needs
| Grit | What it does | When it is needed |
|---|---|---|
| 60 and 100 | Cuts back lippage, deep scratches and rough patches | Uneven joints, heavy damage |
| 200 and 400 | Removes grinding marks, levels the surface | After any coarse stage |
| 800 | Closes the pores and prepares the stone | Almost every job |
| 1500 and 3000 | Working gloss and final mirror pass | Homes, lobbies, showrooms |
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
- Inspection and test patch (free, 20 minutes)
- Masking of all surfaces that should not get slurry
- Sequential diamond passes, 30-45 minutes per 100 sq ft
- Finishing pass at 1500 or 3000 grit, coating if you approve
- Handover with before and after gloss comparison

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
Quality is checked twice: once mid-job, when the first section is finished and you can see the achievable gloss, and once at handover when the whole surface should read evenly under daylight and under your own lighting.
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.
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.
Why clients book us
- Fresh diamond segments, because worn pads leave swirl marks
- Correct pad set per stone: marble, granite, Kota, terrazzo

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
How much marble does it remove?
Microns, not visible layers. Even a full sequence on a damaged floor only corrects the worn top surface; coarse grinding is the stage that removes more and we only use it when needed.
How glossy will the floor look?
Most marble reaches a near-mirror gloss. Statuario and Makrana take a very high gloss, while honed travertine and some Kota floors look better satin. We agree the target before starting.
How long does the finish last?
Two to three years in homes before a light maintenance pass; eight to twelve months in offices and hotels, longer with a silicate or nano coating.
Can it be done in an occupied home?
Yes. The process is wet, so dust stays low. We work room by room and leave dry paths so you can stay in the house.
How is diamond polishing different from the polish my housekeeping does?
Housekeeping applies cream or wax that sits on the surface and wears off in walking lanes within weeks. Diamond polishing refines the stone itself, so the finish is part of the floor.
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.
