How Much Does Marble Polishing Cost in Dubai?
Marble polishing cost in Dubai starts from AED 70 per square metre, and from AED 40 per square metre in Sharjah and the northern and eastern emirates. The final rate changes with the condition of your stone, the finish you want and the size of the job. This guide breaks down exactly what you are paying for so you can compare quotes fairly and avoid hidden charges.
What affects marble polishing cost?
Five things move a marble polishing quote up or down: the area size (larger floors cost less per m²), the current condition (deep scratches, etching and lippage need more grinding), the type of stone (delicate stones like onyx and Calacatta need finer, slower work), the finish (a basic buff vs full diamond polishing with Italian crystallization), and access (furniture, occupied homes and high floors add time).
This is why a trustworthy company always inspects the floor on site before quoting — a fair price cannot be given by phone alone.
MarblePro starting prices in the UAE
Our stone services start from AED 70 per square metre in Dubai (including Jumeirah) and Abu Dhabi, and from AED 40 per square metre in Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah (including Dibba). These are starting rates: full restoration (crack filling, lippage grinding, etch removal) and delicate stones such as onyx and Calacatta cost more.
Treat any fixed online price with caution — a 30 m² etched bathroom and a 300 m² villa floor in good condition are completely different jobs. The only accurate number is a written quote after inspection.
What should be included in the price?
A complete marble polishing quote should cover: diamond grinding and honing through the full grit sequence, edge and corner work by hand, a dust-free wet process, furniture protection, and a final crystallization or seal where quoted. Ask whether sealing is included or extra, and whether there is any call-out or minimum charge.
How to avoid overpaying
Get at least two on-site quotes, make sure they cover the same scope, and be wary of prices that look far below the market — they often skip crystallization or use wax coatings that wear off in weeks. A fixed-price written quote protects you from surprise charges on the day.
How to estimate your marble polishing cost
Measure each room in square metres (length × width) and add them up. Multiply by the starting rate for your area to get the lowest likely figure: for example, 60 m² in Dubai at the AED 70 starting rate starts from AED 4,200. Deep scratches, cracks, lippage or a delicate stone add to that, so treat it as a starting point, not a quote. If you think in square feet, AED 70 per m² is about AED 6.50 per sq ft, and AED 40 per m² is about AED 3.70.
