Stone Care Granite Polishing in Delhi NCR
Granite is harder than marble and behaves differently under the machine. It needs its own pad set and a different approach, otherwise the surface turns hazy instead of bright and the mica in the stone starts to look flat. 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.

| Preparation | Skirting, fittings and furniture edges masked |

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.
Waste is removed the same day. Slurry, stripped residue, used pads and packaging leave with the crew instead of going into society bins or being left for you to dispose of.
Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.
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.

Stone Care Granite Polishing - common questions
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.
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.
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.
