Frequently
Asked Questions

How much does wood polishing cost per square foot?

Wood polishing cost usually ranges between ₹80 to ₹350 per sq. ft., depending on the type of polish (Melamine, PU, Polyester, French Polish), condition of the wood surface, whether sanding or repair work is required, and location (cost in Mumbai may differ from Pune or Bangalore). For example, PU polish for a wardrobe in Bangalore may cost more than melamine polish for a simple door in Pune.

Which type of wood polish is best for furniture?

It depends on usage and finish preference. Melamine Polish is budget-friendly and good for indoor furniture. PU Polish (Polyurethane) is durable, offers a premium finish, and is water-resistant. Polyester Polish gives a high-gloss, luxury finish mostly for premium interiors. French Polish provides a traditional look, suitable for antique furniture. If you want long-lasting protection for dining tables or wardrobes, PU polish is usually recommended.

How long does wood polish last?

Melamine polish lasts 3–5 years, PU Polish lasts 7–10 years, and Polyester polish can last 10+ years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends on moisture exposure, usage, and maintenance.

Is sanding required before polishing?

Yes. Proper sanding is essential for removing old polish, smoothing surface imperfections, and helping new polish bond properly. Skipping sanding may reduce durability and finish quality.

How do I calculate the wood polishing cost for my home?

You need the total surface area (in sq. ft.), type of polish selected, number of coats required, and condition of the existing surface. Instead of manual calculation, you can use the Wood Polishing Calculator to get an instant estimate.

Does wood polishing include repair work?

Basic polishing includes sanding and coating. However, deep scratches, veneer damage, water swelling, and wood replacement may cost extra and should be assessed separately.

Is wood polishing better than laminate replacement?

If your existing wood is in good condition, polishing is more cost-effective, more eco-friendly, gives a fresh new look, and preserves original wood quality. Replacement is recommended only if the wood is severely damaged.
