Stone Polishing in Delhi NCR
Stone floors collect a layer that mopping cannot remove: cleaning residue, soap film and mineral deposit. It looks like dull stone but it is actually surface build-up, and stripping it is the first step before any polishing. 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.

| Factor | Effect on rate | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Total area | Bigger areas cost less per sq ft | Slab rates above 1,000 sq ft |
| Damage depth | Grinding raises the rate | Decided by the test patch |

Ask for one written rate per surface. A single number for the whole house without an inspection always changes later.
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.
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.
Water and power are the two site requirements. We need one working socket within reach of a lead and a water point; everything else, including masking material and waste bags, comes with the crew.
Payment terms are stated upfront: advances apply only where material has to be bought for a large job, and the balance is settled after the walkthrough so you are never paying for work you have not seen.

Stone Polishing Cost - common questions
How often should marble be deep cleaned?
Every six to twelve months in homes, and every three to six months in commercial spaces. Daily mopping with the wrong product makes build-up worse, not better.
Which cleaner should we use daily?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, and dry the surface afterwards. Acid and abrasive cleaners damage polished marble within a few uses.
Can cleaning remove white patches near taps?
Hard-water scale yes, with a descaling clean. Etch marks caused by acid need light grinding and polishing, which is a different job.
Do I need cleaning or polishing?
Test one patch with a clean damp cloth. If it wipes clean but still looks grey, the surface is worn and needs polishing. If the cloth comes away dirty or the floor is streaky, it needs deep cleaning.
Is the price negotiable?
The rate per sq ft is not inflated to leave room for haggling. We scope honestly: if the floor needs only a buff, we quote a buff instead of a full diamond job, and tell you when the cheaper option will hold.
Do you take advance payment?
The package is confirmed in writing first. Advance for material is normal on large jobs; the balance is settled after the walkthrough.
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.
