Marble Polishing in Garden Reach, Kolkata, West Bengal

Marble Polishing depends more on the condition of the stone than on the machine. In Garden Reach we check for lippage, hollow tiles, hairline cracks and old sealer before quoting, because a floor polished over a failed base always comes back dull. Once the base is sound, the finish lasts years rather than months.

What Marble Polishing involves

The work runs in stages: diamond grinding in graded grits, honing to clear the scratch pattern, then a powder or crystallization pass that brings the stone to an even gloss. We use single-disc and three-disc floor machines, diamond abrasives from 30 to 3000 grit, buffing pads and a neutral pH cleaner. Between stages the slurry is cleaned out completely, because leftover grit is what leaves swirl marks on a finished floor.

Stone and surfaces we handle

Most of our work in Garden Reach is on Makrana, Katni, Italian, white and green marble, along with Kota stone and terrazzo. Each stone behaves differently — Makrana and Italian marble take a high gloss, Kota stone prefers a honed matte finish, and granite needs its own abrasive bond. We match the pad sequence to the stone instead of running one programme on every floor.

Rates and what changes them

Marble Polishing in Garden Reach generally falls in the Rs.10-15 per sq.ft range. Three things move that number: total area, how deep the scratches and stains are, and whether joints need epoxy filling or tiles need levelling. We measure on site, give the rate in writing, and the final bill follows that rate unless you add scope.

How the finish holds up

A polished floor stays glossy if it is mopped with a neutral cleaner and plain water. Phenyl, acid and hard-water mopping are what kill shine fastest. In high-traffic areas a light maintenance polish every 12 to 18 months works better than waiting for the surface to go completely dull again.

Questions we get asked

Will the floor look new again?
Where the dullness is surface wear, yes — most floors come back close to their original finish. Stains that have gone into the stone body, chips and cracks can be improved but not always erased, and we say so at inspection rather than after billing.

Do you use acid?
No. Acid brightens marble for a week and then eats the polish. We work with diamond abrasives and pH-neutral chemistry.

How soon can we walk on it?
Straight after a dry polish. Where epoxy filling or a sealer is used, we ask for four to six hours of drying time.
