"How much does it cost?" is the most frequently asked question, and the honest answer is: it depends. In this guide we explain exactly what determines the price of marble polishing in Yerevan, so you can make an informed decision and avoid unpleasant surprises.
Factor 1: Surface area
Polishing is priced per square metre, and the larger the area, the lower the price per metre: setting up and transporting the equipment is a fixed cost spread across the whole job. A 20 m² hallway costs more per metre than a 100 m² hall.
Factor 2: Condition of the stone
This is the most important factor. A slightly dulled floor only needs 2-3 polishing passes. A floor with deep scratches, acid etching or uneven tiles needs full restoration: 5-7 grinding stages from coarse discs through to polishing. The price difference can be double or more. To assess your own floor, read our article on the signs.
Factor 3: Type of stone
Marble is the easiest to polish. Granite is 2-3 times harder, needs different discs and more time, so granite polishing costs more. Filling the pores of travertine adds material and labour cost. Basalt is close to granite.
Factor 4: Desired finish
A high mirror gloss needs the most stages. A satin or honed (matte) finish is somewhat faster to achieve. Sealing — the protective treatment — is a separate service we always recommend adding: it extends the life of the result by years.
What makes up the price
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Preparation | Moving furniture, protective covering, cleaning |
| Grinding | 2-7 stages depending on condition |
| Polishing | Up to the chosen gloss level |
| Sealing | Protection against stains and moisture (recommended) |
How to get an exact price
There are two ways. 1) Send photos of the floor and the approximate area via WhatsApp — we give a preliminary estimate the same day. 2) Book a free inspection: a specialist visits, checks the condition of the stone and gives a final, fixed price — with no hidden costs. The inspection puts you under no obligation.
A money-saving tip
Don't wait until the floor is completely damaged: removing light dullness is far cheaper than deep restoration. And regular maintenance after polishing postpones the next polish by years. Also see the full description of our polishing service.
