Stone Polishing in Kolkata
Cleaning and polishing are two different jobs. A floor can be clean and still look grey because the sheen is gone, and it can be shiny and still be dirty if residue has been sealed in. We do both, in the right order. Kolkata buildings are older and often mix marble, Kota and mosaic in the same flat, with high humidity and monsoon damp that dulls floors faster than in Delhi. Salt-laden air near the river also leaves a film that looks like stone wear but is surface deposit.

What each surface needs
| Damage | Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Open slab joints | Thin epoxy run in and levelled | Closed joint, no dirt trap |

| 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

What changes the price for stone polishing in Kolkata
| 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 |
| Stone type | Imported and filled slabs take longer | See the surface table |
| Access | Upper floors and corners take longer | Confirmed before booking |
Ask for one written rate per surface. A single number for the whole house without an inspection always changes later.
Booking, access and scheduling
- Inspection booked within 24-48 hours; the written quote follows the same visit
- Work usually starts within a week of approval, sooner if you are flexible on dates
- Society gate, lift, parking and working-hour rules arranged before the crew arrives
- Water point, power and work area confirmed at booking so setup takes minutes
- Occupied premises are done room by room or after hours, at no surprise premium
| Job size | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Bathroom or kitchen | Same day |
| Single room | One working day |
| Full 2-3 BHK | One to two days |
| Lobby or commercial floor | Phased, often overnight |
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.
Quotes are itemised per surface rather than as one lump sum, so a mixed floor of marble, tile and stone is priced line by line and you can approve, defer or drop any line.
Every job ends with a walkthrough. You see the gloss reading, the treated patches and the joints before the crew packs up, and the same crew owns any correction needed later.

Serving Kolkata and nearby areas
Kolkata jobs are scheduled as a fixed visit batch so the crew and machines travel together and travel cost is not loaded onto your rate. Kolkata buildings are older and often mix marble, Kota and mosaic in the same flat, with high humidity and monsoon damp that dulls floors faster than in Delhi. Salt-laden air near the river also leaves a film that looks like stone wear but is surface deposit. Inspections are booked within 24-48 hours and most jobs take 1-2 days per flat.

Stone Polishing - 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.
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 far in advance should I book?
A week is comfortable. During festival and wedding season, two weeks is safer because crews are booked out for hotel and banquet work.
What access do you need?
A water point, a working power socket, and a clear route for the machines. Society permission for lift use is helpful for upper floors.
Can the job be split across weekends?
Yes. Many clients do one or two rooms each weekend. We keep the same rate per sq ft and you are not billed twice for travel within the same batch.
