Marble Polishing in Singapore
Marble is soft stone. Every day of foot traffic, sand and cleaning wears away a little of its shine. Professional marble polishing removes that worn layer and brings back the gloss, colour and veining your marble had on day one, without replacing a single tile.

What marble polishing actually does
Marble is mostly calcite, a mineral that is much softer than granite or porcelain. Shoes, sand and chair legs leave thousands of micro-scratches, and these scatter light so the floor looks dull. Polishing is not a coating: it removes the damaged surface in fine stages with diamond abrasives, then polishes the fresh stone so it reflects light again.
Polishing vs grinding vs crystallisation
Light dullness only needs honing and polishing. Uneven tiles (lippage), deep scratches and many etch marks need grinding first, which flattens the floor before polishing. Crystallisation is a chemical polish that gives a quick, hard gloss and is often used for a shine refresh. We explain which your floor needs during the site check, not after.
Our process
- Inspect and test. We check the marble type, scratches, etching, stains and hollow tiles, and do a small test patch if needed.
- Protect. Furniture is moved, and cabinets, doors, skirting and glass are taped and covered with plastic.
- Hone. Diamond pads remove dullness, scratches and etch marks in stages from coarse to fine.
- Polish. Marble polishing powder or crystallisation brings up the gloss.
- Detail. Corners and edges are finished by hand where the machine cannot reach.
- Clean and seal. We clean the slurry, dry the floor and apply sealer if you chose it.
- Booking wait
- Usually 3 to 7 days after you confirm the quote
- Time on site
- 1 day for most 3- to 4-room flats; 2 to 3 days for large condos, landed homes or deep grinding
Before we arrive
- Clear small items, rugs and fragile decor from the area.
- Let us know about any loose, hollow or cracked tiles you have noticed.
- Register us with your condo management office or building management and book the service lift.
- Keep pets and young children away from the work area.
Aftercare
Sweep or dust-mop daily so sand does not scratch the new finish. Mop with a pH-neutral stone cleaner, never vinegar, bleach or lemon-based products. Most homes need a shine refresh every 1 to 2 years and full polishing every 3 to 5 years.
