Silicate Marble Polishing in West Bengal
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 West Bengal 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

|---|---|---|
| Grey mop haze | Strips the residue layer | True stone colour returns |
| Old wax and coatings | Fully removed | Surface ready for polish |

The process, step by step
- Site inspection, gloss reading and hidden test patch
- Masking of skirting, fittings, doors and furniture edges
- Residue and old polish stripping where present
- Grinding if lippage or deep damage is found
- Progressive polishing through the grit sequence
- Optional silicate, crystallisation, epoxy or nano finish
- Edge and corner hand work
- Wash-down, walkthrough and care guidance
Each stage is completed on the whole area before the next one starts, so the floor never ends up with a bright patch next to an unfinished section.
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.
Team composition is consistent: a supervisor plus two machine operators on standard jobs, with additional hands for staircases, multiple floors or tight access. The same supervisor stays with the job start to finish.
The written rate is the final amount for the agreed scope. If we open the floor and find something the inspection could not show, we stop and re-quote with you before continuing, not after.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Does wet sanding remove a lot of stone?
It removes the coating and the damaged top layer only. Deep lippage needs grinding first, which we identify during inspection.
How messy is it?
We mask surfaces and vacuum slurry as we work, then wash the area before handover. Your furniture and curtains do not end up coated in dust.
Can it be done room by room?
Yes. Most clients do one or two rooms at a time, and dry paths are kept so the house stays usable.
Why wet sanding instead of dry?
Because dust control matters in occupied homes. Water carries the residue away and keeps the surface cool, which protects the stone from heat marks.
How long does each step take?
As a guide, preparation is under an hour, grinding runs 25-40 minutes per 100 sq ft, polishing 15-25 minutes, and finishing plus clean-up about an hour. Bigger areas are scheduled over more days.
Can steps be skipped to save money?
Not safely. Skipping grit stages is the most common shortcut and shows up as scratch haze within weeks. If you want to reduce cost, reduce the area covered this cycle, not the process.
Do you work in one room or the whole floor at a time?
Room by room if you are living in, whole floor if the house is empty, which produces a more even finish because lighting and drying are consistent.
