The Best Granite Polishing in Delhi NCR
Granite is harder than marble and behaves differently under the machine. It needs its own pad set and a different approach, otherwise the surface turns hazy instead of bright and the mica in the stone starts to look flat. 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.
- Gloss reading and patchiness mapping
- Diamond polishing to prepare the surface
- Crystallisation applied in sections with a steel-wool pad under machine
- Even working to avoid swirl marks

What each surface needs
| Area | Why crystallise | Expected life |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby and reception | Constant footfall and trolley traffic | 12-24 months |
| Showroom and retail | Scuffing and display lighting | 12-18 months |
| Staircases | Edge wear and heel marks | 12-18 months |
| Homes with pets | Claw marks and repeated mopping | 18-24 months |
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 and gloss reading (free)
- Diamond polishing to level the surface
- Crystallisation worked in section by section
- Second pass on heavy-traffic lanes
- Residue removal, wash-down and handover
The Best Granite Polishing rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Polish plus light crystallisation | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Homes, moderate traffic |
| Full crystallisation with deep polish | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Lobbies, showrooms, heavy traffic |

| Repeat maintenance | Quoted after inspection | 12-24 months |
Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
How to judge a good job instead of a good sales pitch
| Check | What good looks like | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| Test patch | Shown on a hidden area first | Skipped or refused |
| Evenness | Same gloss across the room | Bright at the door, dull corners |
| Joints | Clean and level | Dust trapped in open joints |
| Handover | Walkthrough and a care note | Payment taken, crew leaves |
What improves, and what cannot be fixed
| Condition | Realistic outcome |
|---|---|
| Dull, even wear | Full gloss returns, looks new |
| Scratch lanes in walkways | Removed, surface level again |
| Light etching and hard water | Removed with polishing |
| Deep etching or acid burns | Faint mark may remain |
| Cracked or hollow slabs | Needs replacement, not polishing |
| Stains soaked through the slab | Lightened, not erased |
We show you this on a test patch before quoting the full job, so the result you see at handover is the result you were promised.
Quality is checked twice: once mid-job, when the first section is finished and you can see the achievable gloss, and once at handover when the whole surface should read evenly under daylight and under your own lighting.
Access is confirmed before the visit: parking, lift use, gate entry, working-hour restrictions and any society paperwork. Sorting this in advance is what stops a scheduled job from becoming a wasted trip.
Where a floor has mixed surfaces, each one gets its own pad sequence and compound. Treating Kota stone and imported marble with the same approach is how floors get patchy.

The Best Granite Polishing - common questions
Will it make the floor slippery?
A crystallised surface is smooth and reflective, so wet areas need care. In bathrooms and on stairs we recommend a satin finish with anti-skid treatment instead.
How long does it last?
Twelve to twenty-four months depending on traffic. Lobbies are usually re-treated annually, homes every two years.
Can it be done on a scratched floor?
It should not be. Crystallising a scratched surface sets the scratches in. We polish first, and if the damage is deep we recommend grinding.
What is the difference between crystallisation and silicate?
Crystallisation builds a harder, glassier surface layer and suits heavy footfall. Silicate gives a wetter, deeper gloss and is gentler on the stone. Many projects use silicate for homes and crystallisation for lobbies.
What makes one job better than another?
The pad sequence and the honesty of the scope. Anyone can brighten a floor with wax and it fades in weeks. A proper sequence costs more time and holds for years.
Do you share before and after photos?
Yes. We photograph the test patch and the finished floor so you can compare, and keep them for warranty reference.
Can the floor look exactly new again?
On sound stone with surface wear, yes. Where damage has gone deeper, such as acid burns or stains soaked through the slab, the result is a major improvement rather than perfection, and we tell you which one to expect before starting.
Why do some floors come back brighter than others?
Stone type and previous care. White and hard marbles take a higher gloss; softer or previously acid-washed floors top out lower. Consistent cleaning products are what keep the difference from widening.
Do you guarantee the same result on every surface?
No, and no honest contractor should. A mixed floor gets one uniform gloss level chosen after testing each surface, which sometimes means a satin finish rather than mirror.
