Silicate Marble Polishing in Vellore
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 Vellore 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.
- Polish condition check before coating
- Diamond polishing first, because coating cannot hide scratches
- Surface cleaned of residue and moisture
- Nano coating applied evenly in sections

How to get a quote that does not change
- WhatsApp photos of the dullest area and the worst stain speed up the first estimate
- A free on-site inspection gives the final figure, because gloss readings and damage depth cannot be judged from a photo
- The written quote lists surface by surface: area, rate, scope and exclusions
- Coatings, crack repairs and slab replacement appear as separate optional lines
- The figure is valid for thirty days unless you ask us to hold it longer
If a contractor quotes a single number for a whole house without inspecting it, that number will change once work starts. We would rather quote after looking.
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.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Will nano coating make my marble stain-proof?
No, and nobody should promise that. It slows absorption so you have time to wipe a spill. Leaving lemon juice or oil on the surface for hours can still mark the stone.
Does it change the appearance?
No. It is transparent and leaves the original colour and veining untouched, unlike a lacquer or film coating.
Can it be applied without polishing first?
It can, but it is a waste of money. Coating over scratches and dull patches locks them in, so we polish first or decline the job.
How long does it last?
Typically 12-24 months depending on traffic and cleaning products. Two applications a year in commercial spaces is normal.
Does it stop the floor from being slippery?
It does not increase slip resistance. For bathrooms and staircases we recommend an anti-skid treatment alongside or instead.
Can I get a quote on WhatsApp?
Yes as an indicative band. Send photos in daylight of the dullest area, any stains and one close-up of the surface. The final figure is confirmed after the free on-site inspection.
How long is the quote valid?
Thirty days from the inspection date. Material and product rates move, so we do not hold figures indefinitely, but we will tell you if anything changes.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. There is no charge for the site visit or the measurement, and no obligation to proceed afterwards.
