Silicate Marble Polishing in Srinagar
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 Srinagar 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.
- Damage mapping and crack depth check

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.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
How long does an epoxy repair last?
Years under normal traffic, provided the surrounding slab is sound. If a slab is hollow or still moving, the underlying problem must be fixed first and we check that during inspection.
Is epoxy polishing the same as diamond polishing?
No. Diamond polishing refines the stone with abrasives. Epoxy polishing adds a brightening and protective treatment and works best on top of a properly polished floor.
Do we have to leave the room while it cures?
Only the work area needs to stay clear. Small fills cure in a few hours; larger repairs are left overnight before shaping and polishing.
Will the repaired crack show?
With a matched tint and a flush polish it blends into the veining and is hard to find from standing height. A faint line can remain under close direct light, which is normal.
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.
