Granite Polishing in Dubai
Al-Rahim Technical Services provides granite polishing in Dubai — licensed flooring and tiling for homes and businesses. With 10+ years serving Dubai, the team works to a fixed, agreed price and guarantees the result in writing.
Granite countertops or floors looking flat and scratched in your Dubai Marina apartment? Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, but daily wear, hard water spotting, and dulled sealant still leave it looking tired over the years. Al-Rahim restores granite’s natural shine with the right diamond polishing process rather than a temporary wax coat.
Al-Rahim Technical Services has polished granite across Dubai for 10+ years and is licensed by Dubai Government. Dubai Marina’s high-rise kitchens see constant use, and hard water from tap sources leaves mineral spotting on granite counters and floors that dulls the surface over time. We identify whether the issue is surface grime, hard water etching, or genuine scratching before choosing a polishing grade.
This service suits apartment owners with granite kitchen counters or flooring, and building managers maintaining granite in lobbies and common areas. We give a competitive, transparent price with an upfront quote before we start, based on surface area and current condition.
What’s Included
A granite polishing service in Dubai from Al-Rahim typically covers:
- Surface assessment to check for scratches, hard water spotting, and dull patches
- Deep cleaning to remove grease and mineral buildup before polishing
- Diamond pad polishing through fine to ultra-fine grit stages
- Edge and backsplash detailing for countertop jobs
- Sealant application to resist future staining and etching
- Final buff for a consistent, streak-free shine
Signs Your Granite Needs Polishing
If your granite counter feels rough in spots or shows dull rings where pots or wet glasses regularly sit, that is a sign the sealant has worn through and the surface underneath needs attention. Kitchen counters in Dubai Marina units see this most often near the sink and stovetop.
Floors with a matte, worn strip along a walking path, contrasted against a shinier area under furniture, show clear wear pattern loss. This kind of localised dulling responds well to spot or full-floor polishing depending on how widespread it is.
Granite vs Marble Polishing: Key Differences
Granite is significantly harder and less porous than marble, so it resists etching from acidic spills better and does not need crystallisation the way marble does. Polishing granite relies mainly on diamond pad grinding and buffing rather than a chemical hardening process.
Because granite is denser, it holds a polish longer than marble under the same conditions, which means less frequent maintenance polishing is typically needed for granite surfaces in comparable use.
What Affects the Price in Dubai
Surface area and whether the job covers countertops, floors, or both changes the total scope and time required. Countertop polishing includes more edge and detail work per square metre than open floor areas.
The depth of scratching or spotting also affects how many polishing stages are needed. Light hard-water spotting needs less work than deep scratches from years of knife use directly on the counter surface.
Granite Polishing for Kitchens and Common Areas
In Dubai Marina apartment kitchens, we protect surrounding cabinetry and appliances during polishing and use food-safe sealants suited to countertop use. The kitchen stays out of use for a short window during the process.
For building lobbies and common-area granite flooring, we schedule work during low-traffic hours and apply a higher-durability sealant to handle constant foot traffic between maintenance cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does granite really need polishing if it’s such a hard stone?+
Yes, even though granite resists scratching better than marble, daily wear and sealant breakdown still dull the surface over years. Polishing restores the shine and refreshes the protective seal.
Can granite countertops be polished without removing them?+
Yes, polishing is done in place on the installed countertop. We protect the surrounding kitchen area and typically complete a standard kitchen counter within a day.
How long does a granite sealant last after polishing?+
A quality sealant applied after polishing typically lasts 1 to 2 years on countertops, depending on use and cleaning products. Floors in high-traffic areas may need resealing sooner.
Will polishing remove hard water spots from granite?+
Yes, hard water spotting typically responds well to diamond polishing since it is a surface-level mineral deposit issue rather than deep staining. We treat this during the standard polishing process.
Is granite polishing messy for an occupied kitchen?+
We use water-fed diamond pads to control dust and clean thoroughly after each stage. Cabinets and appliances near the counter are covered before work starts.
Do you guarantee your granite polishing work?+
Yes, all granite polishing is covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee in writing. We review the finished surface with you before we consider the job done.
