Terrazzo Floor Restoration Terrazzo Floor Polishing in Delhi NCR
Terrazzo and mosaic floors go dull in patches because the cement matrix wears faster than the chips. Grinding back to the aggregate and polishing it evenly is the only way to bring back the pattern and the shine together. 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.

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
Dust and water control is planned before we start: masking on skirting and fittings, wet working instead of dry, and slurry vacuumed as the machine moves rather than left to dry in corners.
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.

Terrazzo Floor Restoration - common questions
Can cracked terrazzo be repaired?
Yes. Cracks are filled with a matched cement or epoxy mix, levelled, then ground and polished so they stop showing as dark lines.
How often does terrazzo need grinding?
Usually every 5-10 years for homes. Lighter polishing passes every 18-24 months keep it looking sharp in between.
Is terrazzo more expensive to polish than marble?
It is comparable, but it usually needs grinding on the first visit, which marble floors sometimes do not.
Why does terrazzo look patchy after cleaning?
Because the cement matrix wears down faster than the chips, so light reflects differently across the floor. Grinding back to a level surface and polishing it evenly is the fix.
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.
