MARBLE & TILE
Marble & Tile Services in Dubai
The most expensive surface in your home, and the one most easily ruined.
Marble & Tile Services in Dubai. Marble does not wear out, it gets damaged, usually by cleaning.
MELLS restores marble in Dubai by diamond honing the damaged surface back and then crystallising it, so the finish comes from the stone rather than from a coating.
Your floor has not lost its shine. It has lost its surface.
Here is what almost nobody is told when they buy a villa with marble floors. That shine is not a coating sitting on top. It is the stone itself, polished to a level of flatness so fine that it reflects light. Which means the day it stops reflecting, nothing has been removed from the floor. The surface itself has been microscopically scratched, etched and abraded, and no amount of cleaning, polish or product will bring it back.
The damage comes from ordinary life. Fine sand tracked in from outside, acting as an abrasive underfoot. An acidic cleaner, anything with vinegar or citrus, etching the calcium in the stone. Water left standing near a door. A generic floor product used weekly for two years by someone who was never told that marble is chemically different from porcelain. Grout, meanwhile, is porous by nature and simply absorbs whatever passes over it until it no longer resembles the colour it was laid in.
Restoration is mechanical, not chemical. The surface is ground and honed back to fresh stone, then progressively refined through finer abrasives until it holds light again, and finally sealed so it resists what damaged it in the first place. It is skilled work with expensive machinery, it takes a day rather than an hour, and it is the only thing that actually works. Anyone offering to restore marble with a mop and a bottle is selling you a temporary film.
Cut back through the stone, then hardened
Diamond grinding, honing and polishing works the stone itself rather than laying a coating over it. The shine is the marble, so it does not peel, cloud or wear off in traffic lanes.
- Diamond grinding, honing and polishing in sequence
- Crystallisation to harden the surface
- Sealed against water and oil staining
Edges, thresholds and skirting included
The middle of a floor is the easy part. What gives a polish away is the perimeter, the door thresholds and the stair nosings.
- Perimeters and thresholds worked by hand
- Stair nosings and risers included
- Adjacent joinery protected throughout
Maintained so it does not need doing again
Most marble is ruined by the wrong daily cleaner, not by traffic. We leave you with a maintenance routine and the right product for it.
- Correct pH neutral products left on site
- Maintenance routine written down for your team
- Scheduled top up rather than a full re-polish

Learn moreWhy MELLS
We assess before we quote, always
Stone work is unforgiving and irreversible in the wrong hands, which is why we will not price a marble floor from a photograph. A technician comes to the property, identifies the stone, tests an area, and tells you honestly what is achievable and what is not. Sometimes the answer is a full crystallisation, sometimes it is a light polish and a seal, and occasionally the honest answer is that the damage is beyond restoration and you should not spend the money. You will get told which.
Types of marble and tile work we offer in Dubai
Most enquiries fall into one of these. If yours does not, describe the property and we will tell you what it actually needs.
Marble polishing and crystallisation
Ground, honed, polished and sealed. A real mirror finish restored in the floor itself, not a coating laid over the top that peels in a year.
Marble restoration
Etching, scratching, staining and lippage. Damage removed from the stone rather than filled and disguised.
Tile polishing
Porcelain, ceramic and terrazzo brought back to an even sheen, including the traffic lanes that have dulled while the edges have not.
Grout cleaning and regrouting
Grout is porous and Dubai water is hard. Deep cleaned where it can be saved, cut out and replaced where it cannot.
Sealing and protection
Impregnating sealers that let stone breathe while keeping oil and water out. Applied to the right stone with the right product, which is not one product.
Maintenance programmes
Scheduled polishing for large villas and commercial floors, so the stone never gets far enough gone to need restoring again.

The difference
Why a cheap marble and tile is expensive
The gap is not the price. It is what is reached, and whether anyone can show you it was.
The low cost visit
- A polishing pad and a chemical shine
- Coating laid over the damage
- Clouds and yellows within two years
- No test area, straight onto the main floor
- Grout ignored
- The stone quietly worn thinner each time
The MELLS method
- Ground, honed, polished through progressive diamond grits
- Restoration in the stone itself, no coating and no wax
- Tested in an unseen corner before any main floor
- Grout cleaned, repaired or replaced as part of the work
- Sealed afterwards so it stays that way
- An honest answer on what genuinely needs replacing
What happens after you message us
No surprises, at any point
Most hesitation in this industry is not about price. It is not knowing who is coming, when, or what it will cost.
- 01
The survey
We look at the property rather than a price list. Number of rooms, condition, surfaces, access, and anything that will take longer than it looks. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02
The written quote
A fixed price, in writing, before anyone starts. It states what is included and what is not. No day rate creep and no surprise line at the end.
- 03
The visit
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. We give you the crew list and arrival window in advance, and we bring our own equipment and materials.
- 04
The check
The supervisor walks the property with you before the team leaves. If something is not right we deal with it then, not in a follow up call.
Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
Frequently asked questions
Who does marble and tile near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best marble and tile company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
How quickly can you start marble and tile?
Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.
Is marble and tile safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
How much does marble polishing cost in Dubai?
It is priced by area and by how much damage there is, so we survey the floor first. Etching and deep scratching take more passes than a floor that has simply gone dull.
Can dull or scratched marble be restored without replacing it?
Almost always. Honing removes the damaged layer and crystallisation hardens what is underneath. Replacement is very rarely the right answer.
Who does marble polishing near me in Dubai?
MELLS works across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown, Saadiyat Island and Al Bateen.
How long does marble polishing last?
Years in a normal household, less in a high traffic entrance. Barrier matting at the doors extends it more than anything else, because it stops sand arriving.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
How is a deep clean different from a regular cleaning visit?
A regular visit maintains what is already clean. A deep clean resets the property, including the areas a routine service is not expected to reach: behind and under appliances, inside cabinets, along tracks and skirting, into upholstery and grout. Different equipment, different products, considerably more time.
How often should a Dubai home be deep cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes, typically before and after summer. Households with children, pets, or anyone with allergies usually benefit from quarterly. Move in, move out and post renovation cleans sit outside that cycle.
How often do AC ducts actually need cleaning?
Every eighteen to twenty four months for a typical Dubai property, and sooner after any renovation or if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. Filters and vents need attention far more often, roughly quarterly.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use products selected for occupied family homes as the default, and full chemical free steam cleaning is available for households that prefer it. Pest control products are DM approved and applied by licensed technicians, and we always tell you when an area is safe to reoccupy.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.

How the process works
Tell us about the property
A message on WhatsApp with the community and the size of the property is enough to start. No forms and no call centre.
A survey, usually the same day
A senior member of the team looks at the actual property rather than a price list, and notes what needs particular attention.

Sent the same day. It states what is included and what is not. No day rate creep and no line added at the end.
The team arrives fully equipped
Everything needed comes with them. There is nothing for you to buy, prepare or supply.
Supervised throughout
A supervisor is on site, not on the phone, and the work is checked as it progresses rather than only at the end.
You walk it with us
Nothing is signed off until you have seen it. Anything you are not happy with is put right before we leave.
