Thassos Marble Tile Polishing 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.
- Free inspection measuring lippage and slab thickness
- Tapping test for hollow slabs

Looking after the finish
| Timeframe | What to do |
|---|---|
| First 24 hours | Stay off coated areas, keep furniture off the floor |
| First week | Dry mop only, no wet mopping, no chemical cleaners |
| Ongoing | pH-neutral cleaner, damp mop, dry after |
| Every 12-18 months | Light maintenance polish to hold the gloss |
- Never use acid, bleach, vinegar or abrasive powder on stone
- Wipe spills promptly, particularly lemon, tea and oil
- Use felt pads on furniture and mats at entry points
- Keep planters and metal legs off wet floors to prevent rust rings
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.
Weight and load matter on upper floors and terraces. Where a slab has been laid over a void or a lightweight screed, we reduce machine weight and speed rather than risk cracking the base.
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.

Thassos Marble Tile Polishing - common questions
Will grinding make my floor noticeably thinner?
It removes a fraction of a millimetre at the surface and more only where slabs are high. Average floors take several grinding cycles over their life. We measure thickness during the free inspection first.
Does grinding create dust all over the house?
We grind wet, so dust becomes slurry rather than airborne powder, and we mask doors and skirting. Slurry is vacuumed and washed before we leave.
Can lippage between marble and tile be levelled?
Usually yes where the two surfaces meet at different heights. Where the step is more than a few millimetres, an exact match may not be possible and we say so before starting.
Is grinding always followed by polishing?
Yes in practice. Grinding leaves machine marks until the finer grits and polishing smooth them out, which is why the two stages are quoted together.
What if a slab is hollow?
Grinding cannot re-bond it. Loose slabs must be re-laid, and we quote that separately rather than hiding the problem under a polish.
What should I avoid in the first week?
Wet mopping, chemical floor cleaners, dragging furniture and placing potted plants back on the floor. Dry mopping and clean water only until the finish settles.
Which cleaner do you recommend?
Any pH-neutral stone cleaner, used with clean water and followed by drying. That single habit prevents most of the dullness and staining we are called back to fix.
What voids the finish durability?
Acid and abrasive cleaning. A floor polished this month can look dull in eight weeks if it is mopped with an acidic general-purpose cleaner.
