Wooden Floor Polishing in Delhi NCR
A wooden floor does not fade from use alone; it dries out in summer and swells in the monsoon, and the finish wears in the walking lanes first. Sanding back to bare wood, filling the gaps and rebuilding the surface is what brings it back. 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.

What changes the price for wooden floor polishing cost in Delhi NCR
| Factor | Effect on rate | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Total area | Bigger areas cost less per sq ft | Slab rates above 1,000 sq ft |
| Damage depth | Grinding raises the rate | Decided by the test patch |
| Stone type | Imported and filled slabs take longer | See the surface table |
| Access | Upper floors and corners take longer | Confirmed before booking |
Ask for one written rate per surface. A single number for the whole house without an inspection always changes later.
Tiles or marble: what each one needs
| Tiles (vitrified, ceramic) | Marble | |
|---|---|---|
| What dulls | Surface residue and micro-scratches | Worn polished layer, etching |
| Restoring it | Deep clean, surface refine | Grinding and diamond polishing |
| Staining | Grout lines first | Stone surface and joints |
| Slip risk | High on glossy tile when wet | High on mirror-polished stone |
| Best finish for wet areas | Clean plus anti-skid | Satin plus anti-skid |
In most homes both are present in the same flat, which is why we quote surface by surface instead of giving one blended rate.
Every job ends with a walkthrough. You see the gloss reading, the treated patches and the joints before the crew packs up, and the same crew owns any correction needed later.
Machines are matched to the job. A 400 mm single-disc machine for open floors, edge machines for skirtings and staircases, and hand blocks for corners and thresholds where a machine cannot safely reach.
Team composition is consistent: a supervisor plus two machine operators on standard jobs, with additional hands for staircases, multiple floors or tight access. The same supervisor stays with the job start to finish.
Why clients book us
- Visible result checked with you before handover
- Clear re-application schedule instead of vague promises
- 12 years of stone finishing with Akemi nano products
- Coating applied only after polishing, never as a shortcut

Wooden Floor Polishing Cost - common questions
Does it change the appearance?
No. It is transparent and leaves the original colour and veining untouched, unlike a lacquer or film coating.
Can it be applied without polishing first?
It can, but it is a waste of money. Coating over scratches and dull patches locks them in, so we polish first or decline the job.
How long does it last?
Typically 12-24 months depending on traffic and cleaning products. Two applications a year in commercial spaces is normal.
Does it stop the floor from being slippery?
It does not increase slip resistance. For bathrooms and staircases we recommend an anti-skid treatment alongside or instead.
Will nano coating make my marble stain-proof?
No, and nobody should promise that. It slows absorption so you have time to wipe a spill. Leaving lemon juice or oil on the surface for hours can still mark the stone.
Is the price negotiable?
The rate per sq ft is not inflated to leave room for haggling. We scope honestly: if the floor needs only a buff, we quote a buff instead of a full diamond job, and tell you when the cheaper option will hold.
Do you take advance payment?
The package is confirmed in writing first. Advance for material is normal on large jobs; the balance is settled after the walkthrough.
Can tiles be polished like marble?
Tiles are refined and cleaned, not ground like stone. Polishing a vitrified tile past its factory finish wears the surface, so we clean and seal instead, or polish only where the tile type allows it.
Which is better for a bathroom floor?
Neither should be mirror-glossy when wet. Tile with anti-skid treatment, or honed stone with anti-skid, is the safer and more practical choice.
Do floors with both need separate visits?
No. One crew handles tiles, grout and stone in the same visit, which also avoids the joint line between two trades becoming anyone's excuse.
