Tile Fitting Installation rates in Puducherry
| 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.
Marble and granite need different treatment
| Marble | Granite | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | Softer, scratches more visibly | Harder, resists scratches |
| Acid | Etches immediately, never use | Dulls the surface, avoid |
| Finishing | Diamond pads up to 3000 grit | Its own pad set and compounds |
| Typical aftercare | Sealer every 12-24 months | Sealer on kitchen and stairs |
| Gloss achievable | Very high on hard whites | Deep lustre, not mirror |
We keep separate pad sets and compounds for each, because using marble products on granite (or the reverse) is the fastest way to end up with a hazy surface.
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.
Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.

Tile Fitting Installation - common questions
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.
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.
Can you polish a floor that mixes marble and granite?
Yes, and it is common in lobbies and staircases. Each surface is polished to a matching level of sheen rather than the same pad sequence, so the two read as one floor.
Is granite easier to maintain than marble?
It is less acid-sensitive and harder, so it stains and scratches less. It still dulls from repeated wrong cleaning, and it still needs sealing in wet or greasy areas.
Why does marble etch while granite does not?
Marble is calcium-based, so acid dissolves the surface and leaves a white mark. Granite is silicate-based and resists acid better, though strong acid still dulls its polish.
