Stone Polishing in Delhi NCR
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. 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.
- Free inspection of porosity and stain history
- Deep cleaning before sealing (sealer over dirt seals dirt)

Stone Polishing rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Clean and seal | Rs 5-15 per sq ft | Dry floors and walls |
| Strip, clean and seal | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Old coating present |
| High-absorption stone, two coats | Quoted after inspection | Limestone and travertine |
| Re-seal cycle | Per sq ft | Every 12-24 months |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
Keeping the finish after the job is done
| Habit | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dry dust mopping | Removes grit before it scratches the surface |
| pH-neutral cleaner only | Acid etches marble and bleach dulls the finish |
| Damp mop, never flooding | Standing water leaves marks and weakens joints |
| Mats at entries | Captures grit where it enters |
| Felt pads under furniture | Stops drag marks on polished surfaces |
- A light maintenance polish every 12-18 months keeps gloss without a full job
- Commercial floors are usually re-polished annually, homes every two years
- Sealer or nano coating, where applied, is refreshed on the schedule we hand over
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.
Timing is agreed before the crew arrives: arrival window, the room sequence and the handover time are confirmed in writing, so nobody is waiting around or guessing when the floor will be free.
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.

Stone Polishing - common questions
Will sealing make my marble stain-proof?
No, and any contractor saying that is overselling. Sealing buys you time to wipe a spill. Lemon juice or oil left overnight can still mark sealed stone.
How often should stone be re-sealed?
Every twelve to twenty-four months for working areas like kitchens, entries and washbasins. Dry bedroom floors and walls hold sealer much longer.
Can sealer be applied over an old polish?
No. It will not bond, and it traps the old residue underneath. Cleaning or stripping first is part of the job, not an optional extra.
Does sealing change the colour?
Impregnating sealers are colourless. If a sealer darkens the stone, it is a film-forming product rather than an impregnator, which is a different finish choice.
How often does the floor need a maintenance polish?
Every 12-18 months for homes and every 8-12 months for commercial floors. It is a much smaller job than the original restoration.
Which cleaner should we use?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, dried after mopping. Avoid acid, bleach and abrasive powders, which are the main causes of dull and etched floors.
Can maintenance work be done room by room?
Yes. We schedule it in sections so the house stays usable, and it takes a fraction of the time of a full polish.
