Silicate Marble Polishing in Sagar
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 Sagar 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

Keeping the finish after the job is done
| Habit | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dry dust mopping | Removes grit before it scratches the surface |
| pH-neutral cleaner only | Acid etches marble and bleach dulls the finish |
| Damp mop, never flooding | Standing water leaves marks and weakens joints |
| Mats at entries | Captures grit where it enters |
| Felt pads under furniture | Stops drag marks on polished surfaces |
- A light maintenance polish every 12-18 months keeps gloss without a full job
- Commercial floors are usually re-polished annually, homes every two years
- Sealer or nano coating, where applied, is refreshed on the schedule we hand over
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.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
How long does the job take?
A two-person crew finishes about 800-1,000 sq ft in a working day. Grinding plus polishing on the same area adds roughly half a day. The floor is walkable the same evening.
Will polishing thin my marble?
Polishing removes microns, not millimetres. We test a patch first and step through grits gradually, so only the worn surface layer is corrected and the slab keeps its thickness.
Do you use acid on marble?
Never. Marble is calcium-based, so acid etches it. We clean with pH-neutral products and treat oil, rust and paint stains with poultice instead.
Can we stay in the house during the work?
Yes. Polishing is done wet so dust stays low, furniture edges are masked and we leave dry walking paths overnight.
How often should marble be polished?
Homes usually every 18-24 months because of dust and monsoon film; offices and showrooms every 8-12 months.
How often does the floor need a maintenance polish?
Every 12-18 months for homes and every 8-12 months for commercial floors. It is a much smaller job than the original restoration.
Which cleaner should we use?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, dried after mopping. Avoid acid, bleach and abrasive powders, which are the main causes of dull and etched floors.
Can maintenance work be done room by room?
Yes. We schedule it in sections so the house stays usable, and it takes a fraction of the time of a full polish.
