Marble Polishing vs. Tile Replacement: Cost & Longevity Comparison

When natural stone floors look dull, scratched, or stained with yellow water rings, many homeowners debate replacing them with modern large-format vitrified tiles. But tearing up marble creates immense debris and structural headaches.

The Financial Breakdown

Replacing flooring incurs demolition costs, debris carting, tile purchase, adhesive, labor, and skirting replacement—often exceeding ₹160 to ₹220 per sq ft. In contrast, 7-stage diamond restoration costs ₹38 to ₹45 per sq ft and retains the natural luxury of original marble.
