Marble polishing provides any home or workplace with a more modern look. However, just like other floor polishing services, how much you need to spend on marble polishing depends on several factors.

By taking note of them, you can manage your budget better whilst ensuring that your marble floors get properly restored. Some of the factors that affect the pricing for marble floor polishing include the following:

 

Factors Influencing The Cost of Marble Polishing

Type of Marble Flooring Installed

There is a wide range of marble stones, colors, and tones used in many homes in Singapore. As such, be sure to check what type of marble floors you have to properly plan your budget. This is also something you should do before performing DIY marble polishing. 

Here are finishes that are commonly used for marble floors:

• Aged marble
• Grooved or bush hammered marble
• Honed marble finish
• Crystallized marble

Temperature

Similar to polishing parquet floors, how easy and quick it is to polish marble floors depends on current temperature levels. If the home temperature is beyond the normal limit, stains and defects may be much more difficult to remove. Whichever method of marble floor polishing you require, always see to it that the surrounding area is cool. This will help you to save money.

Quality of Cleaner Used

One thing to look out for when choosing a floor polishing service provider is the quality of cleaner they use. This also affects how much needs to be paid for polishing marble floors. If the cleaner applied is of high quality, it will be easier to eliminate stains and dirt on the floor. This in turn results in a shorter period of servicing and therefore a reduced price. However, if the cleaner used is of inferior quality, a higher price will need to be paid for polishing the marble floors since cleaning them will take much longer.

At DW Floor Polishing Singapore, we make sure that our marble floor polishing products and cleaners are highly reliable and of high quality. By engaging our services, therefore, you will only need to pay an affordable price to make your marble floors last longer.

Present Condition of Marble Floors

A really helpful tip for marble polishing is to check the present condition of your marble floors. Even if marble is considered one of the strongest types of flooring, it will take much longer to polish if it incurs numerous stains and decays because of heavy foot traffic.

Smoothness of Marble Floors

Before you call a professional marble floor polishing service, it is vital that you evaluate the smoothness of your marble floors. This will help in evaluating how long the floors need to be polished as well as determining the total servicing costs. For some homeowners, failing to check the floors’ smoothness is one of the reasons DIY marble polishing isn’t effective.

Rough marble floors need to be polished more thoroughly especially since they tend to have lots of dirt due to foot traffic. However, this also makes them more costly to service. In contrast, smooth marble floors are much cheaper to polish since they are not as prone to becoming dirty.

Frequency of Marble Polishing

If you’re wondering how often you should do marble polishing, take note that the longer you don’t have marble polishing performed, the dirtier your floors will be. This in turn will cause you to spend more since extra labour is needed to restore the floors’ appearance. Not only that, it will take much longer to polish the marble floors until all signs of dirt and stains are eliminated.

Type of Cleaning and Polishing Required

 When planning your budget for marble floor polishing, you should also check if there are any marks are present on your marble floors. If there are stubborn stains or deep abrasions, the marble polishing steps taken by the professionals will involve more extensive cleaning and polishing techniques. This will require you to spend more than usual to restore your floors’ appearance.

Size of Marble Floors

How much you’ll spend for marble polishing also depends on the size of the area you want polished. Normally, companies charge customers a standard rate for different area sizes (e.g., 200 square feet – 499 square feet, 501 square feet – 999 square feet) if the floors span less than 1000 square feet. If the overall floor size is less than 200 square feet, you might be charged a fixed rate. 

It is recommended to check with the floor polishing company regarding the cost for your marble flooring before proceeding to hire them. One of the advantages of hiring a professional for marble floor polishing is they can measure your floors for you and provide you a quotation in case you have difficulty doing so yourself.

Time Required For Polishing

As is the case with the steps for parquet polishing, marble polishing takes some time to complete. This is because the floors have to be thoroughly cleaned first so that all signs of dirt are removed. Once cleaning is done, the floors will have to be polished for a considerable amount of time to restore their appearance before they are sealed.

The amount of furniture you have will also affect the time needed for polishing your marble floors. Keep in mind that the marble polishing process will only start once all furniture has been cleared. Failing to remove these is one of the mistakes you should avoid during marble polishing.

Required Labor

Remember that when it comes to marble polishing, you don’t just pay for the work done. In fact, you also have to consider the number of people who’ll be performing the service. 

A common myth about marble polishing in Singapore is that it’s always cheaper if only one professional is hired. Although this reduces the hourly rate, it might be more expensive since more time is needed to fully polish the marble floors. In contrast, hiring more professionals will not be as costly since the job will be finished more quickly even though the hourly rate is higher.

Other Considerations

• Some people want to have marble floor polishing done as part of the cleaning and repainting process. Thus, it would be best if you considered the costs of cleaning your marble floors and resealing them after the polishing process is completed.
• Remember that there are estimates that do not include taxes and are based on competitive prices.
• Labor accounts usually have a large effect on the cost of having the marble floors polished. Other factors affecting the price include equipment and cleaners used.
• Oftentimes, it costs more to polish premium marble floors than ordinary marble flooring such as travertine.
• If you have a broken marble floor, we highly recommend replacing it as polishing cannot restore its original appearance. Although this will be more expensive, it will benefit you more in the long term.

We generally do not recommend DIY marble floor polishing because of the following:

• It will be wise if you have enough experience and advanced practical skills in doing marble floor polishing. If you are not familiar with the steps for DIY marble floor polishing, we highly suggest hiring a floor polishing service provider.
• Just like wood polishing, marble floor polishing will also entail you to purchase or rent an electric polisher or grinder. If you have a low-grade polish, you will need to pay even more as no warranty is provided for this kind of service.

Conclusion

Polishing marble floors is not as expensive as many people claim it to be. In fact, it will only become expensive if the floors have incurred serious damage. Don’t forget though that how much you need to pay for marble polishing will depend on several factors including the type of floors you have installed, temperature, quality of cleaner used, the present condition of your floors, and how smooth they are. You also have to consider the frequency and duration of marble polishing, the type of cleaning and polishing required, the size of the marble floors, and the amount of labor required. Many miscellaneous factors affect the final polishing cost as well.
