Stone Buffing in Delhi NCR
Marble, granite, tile, terrazzo and wooden floors all dull for different reasons, and treating them with the same machine and pads is how floors get damaged. We identify the surface first, then use the sequence that suits it. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.
- Damage mapping and crack depth check
- Joints cleaned so epoxy bonds properly

What each surface needs
| Damage | Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Open slab joints | Thin epoxy run in and levelled | Closed joint, no dirt trap |
| Chipped edges and corners | Epoxy built up and shaped | Edge rebuilt to profile |
| Cracked stair nosing | Deep tinted gel fill | Safe to walk on |
| Dull patchy gloss | Epoxy polish coat after diamond polishing | Bright even finish |
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 to check whether the crack is cosmetic or structural (free)
- Cleaning of joints and cracks
- Tinted epoxy applied and left to cure
- Fill shaped flush and polished
- Handover with photos and advice on furniture that caused it
Stone Buffing rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Pricing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Joint and crack filling | Per running ft | Colour matched |
| Chip and edge rebuilding | Per repair | Shaped and polished |
| Epoxy polish over a floor | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | After diamond polishing |
| Deep epoxy sequence with crystallisation | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Heavy patchiness |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
What a proper job must include
| Stage | Non-negotiable |
|---|---|
| Before starting | Gloss reading, damage map, hidden test patch, written rate |
| Preparation | Skirting, fittings and furniture edges masked |
| During | Correct pad sequence for the stone, no skipped grits |
| Finishing | Edges and corners hand-done, not left dull |
| Handover | Walkthrough with you, after-care note, waste removed |
Use this list to compare any quote you receive, ours included. If a contractor skips the test patch or the handover walkthrough, the finish will show it within weeks.
Dust and water control is planned before we start: masking on skirting and fittings, wet working instead of dry, and slurry vacuumed as the machine moves rather than left to dry in corners.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.
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.

Stone Buffing - common questions
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.
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.
What should I check before paying?
That every surface you were quoted for has been finished, that edges and corners are not dull, that joints are clean and that the waste has been removed. Walk the floor with the crew still present, not after they leave.
Do you provide a written scope?
Yes. Surface by surface, with rate and scope, plus any optional items listed separately. Nothing is added after the work starts unless you approve a change.
Is a test patch really necessary?
It is the cheapest insurance on the job. One tile or a corner shows you the real result before you commit the whole floor.
