White 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 of tile type and surface condition
- Masking of skirting, doors and fittings
- Machine scrubbing to remove residue and grout haze

White Tile Polishing rates in Delhi NCR
| Work | Guide band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tile deep cleaning | Rs 5-15 per sq ft | Haze, residue, grout film |
| Tile polishing | Rs 15-25 per sq ft | Worn sheen, scratch haze |
| Deep restoration | Rs 25-35 per sq ft | Heavy wear and staining |
| Sealing or top-up coat | Quoted after inspection | High-traffic floors |
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.
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.
Water and power are the two site requirements. We need one working socket within reach of a lead and a water point; everything else, including masking material and waste bags, comes with the crew.
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.

White Tile Polishing - common questions
Can vitrified tiles really be polished?
Yes. The surface haze is usually residue and micro-scratches, which lift with the right pads. Tiles that have lost their pattern through deep abrasion cannot be restored, and we say so after testing.
Will polishing make my tiles slippery?
A gloss finish is smoother when wet. For bathrooms and balconies we clean and seal instead of polishing, or add an anti-skid treatment.
Do you clean grout at the same time?
Yes. Grout lines are cleaned in the same visit, because a polished floor with black grout looks unfinished.
How long does it take?
Bathrooms and kitchens finish the same day; a full apartment usually takes one working day.
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.
