Stair Step Grinding
Last updated: Views: 3

Stairs are the most heavily worn part of a building. The middle of the step wears down, the nosing chips, and the surface becomes slippery. Large floor machines do not fit on a step; this work is done step by step with small hand-held machines. In Alanya, we grind the marble, granite and travertine stairs of apartment buildings, residential complexes, villas and hotels, and can make them slip-resistant on request.

What does our stair step grinding service include?

Large floor machines cannot reach everywhere on a staircase; treads, risers and edges are processed one by one with hand-held machines. Our work includes:

  • Grinding of the step surface (tread)
  • Grinding of risers and skirting boards
  • Repair of worn nosings
  • Repair of breaks and cracks
  • Grinding of landings
  • Cutting anti-slip grooves or applying anti-slip strips
  • Polished or matte finish
  • Cleaning after the job

Slippery stairs are dangerous

Polished and worn marble steps become slippery, especially when wet. We offer three ways to make them safe.

  • Matte finish: We leave the step unpolished.
  • Anti-slip grooves: We cut fine grooves into the nosing of the step.
  • Anti-slip strip: Applied to outdoor stairs and heavily used stairways.

For outdoor steps, we also recommend impregnation to reduce water absorption.

How we work in apartment buildings and housing complexes

Closing off a staircase completely is not possible in most buildings. That is why we work floor by floor or across half the width of the step, keeping the passage open.

  • Working days and hours are agreed in advance with the building management
  • Noisy work is not left for the lunch break or the evening
  • The staircase is left clean and dry at the end of each day
  • In buildings without an elevator, access is never blocked

State-of-the-art devices and equipment

For step grinding work in Alanya, whether on marble, granite or travertine stairs, the first thing that determines the quality of the job is the right equipment. We choose the machines and materials according to the type of surface and the location of the job, and we do not use products that are harmful to people or the environment.

  • Handheld grinding machines for step surfaces
  • Profile abrasives for nosings and edges
  • Color-matched filler for chips and cracks
  • Vacuum machines that collect dust and water

When working wet, we vacuum up the dirty water as it is produced, so the areas we are not working on can stay in use while the job continues. When we finish, we also explain how to clean and care for the surface day to day.

World-class quality

No matter how good the machine and materials are, it is the craftsman's hand that produces a clean, lasting surface. On a staircase, the nose and the middle of each step wear the most; honing without distorting the nosing profile takes its own kind of skill.

For years, our team has been carrying out step honing work in hotels, housing complexes, villas and commercial premises across all districts of Alanya, especially Alanya city center, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Tosmur, Cikcilli, Avsallar, Türkler, Konaklı and Okurcalar. On every job, we determine the steps according to the condition of the surface and show the same care at every stage.

Pricing and quotes

Step polishing is priced per step, and landings are priced per square meter. We give you a final price after seeing the job on site; the survey is free. The factors that determine the price are:

  • Number and width of the steps
  • Type of stone
  • Amount of chipping and wear
  • Whether risers and skirting boards are included
  • Whether anti-slip treatment is requested

For a preliminary estimate, just send a few photos and approximate measurements via WhatsApp.

  • Before handing over the job, we check the result together with you

Frequently asked questions

01Can the stairs be used while they are being polished?
Yes. We work floor by floor or on half the width, so access stays open.
02Can a broken stair nosing be repaired?
Yes. We repair it with a filler matched to the color of the stone, then level it by polishing. For very large breaks, we recommend replacing the piece.
03Is there dust?
We work wet and use a vacuum, so no dust spreads through the building.
04How many days does it take to finish an apartment building's staircase?
It depends on the number of floors. The staircase of a four- or five-story building is usually finished in a few days.
