Terracotta Floor Tile in Delhi NCR
Vitrified, ceramic and porcelain tiles do not fade, but the surface does. Fine scratches and cleaning residue build up into a grey haze that no amount of mopping removes, and that is what tile polishing corrects. 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.

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.
Protection is planned, not improvised. Furniture is moved to one side and covered, curtain hems are lifted, and a walking route is kept clear throughout so the household can still move around.
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.
Old polish, wax and cleaning residue are stripped before any new finish goes on. Layering a fresh treatment over residue is what makes floors look grey again within weeks.

Terracotta Floor Tile Polishing - common questions
Can yellow stains be removed?
Surface yellowing from polish residue or hard water lifts during polishing. Yellowing caused by water seepage from below, or inside a resin-filled slab, cannot be polished out, and we test a patch to show you which type you have.
Will polishing make it whiter than new?
No. It restores the stone to its clean colour by removing the dulled and stained top layer. We compare whiteness before and after so you can see the real change.
How do I keep it white afterwards?
Use only pH-neutral cleaner with clean water, never acid or bleach, and dry promptly. Sealing in entry areas helps stop grime soaking into the surface.
Why does white marble go grey?
Almost always residue and wear, not the stone itself. Soap film, mop haze and surface scratches scatter light, which reads as grey. Stripping and polishing restores the original tone.
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.
