Best Floor Polish in Singapore: How to Choose a Floor Polishing Contractor
There is no single best floor polish. The best result comes from the right contractor for your floor. Use this checklist before you book anyone, including us.
1. Check the company is registered
Ask for the company name and UEN, and check it on the official business registry. For building-related work, ask whether the contractor is BCA registered. R&S Polishing Pte. Ltd. is registered with UEN 202405069Z.
2. Ask for real photos of similar floors
A contractor who works on marble should show marble results. Ask for before-and-after photos of floors like yours, and ask where they were taken. Be wary of photos that look like stock images.
3. Get a written, itemised quote
The quote should say what area is covered, what the work includes and whether repair is included. Vague quotes lead to disputes later.
4. Look for honest advice
A good contractor tells you when polishing will not work, or when a floor is better repaired or replaced. If everything is promised, be careful.
5. Ask about the process
- How will furniture, walls and fittings be protected?
- How long will the area be unusable?
- What happens with dust and water?
- What aftercare do you recommend?
6. Match the contractor to the job
Marble, parquet, granite and grout all need different methods. A contractor who covers your floor type is a better bet than one who offers a single service for everything.
Red flags
- A price far below everyone else with no explanation.
- Pressure to decide on the spot.
- No address, no company details or no photos of past work.
- Guarantees that sound too good to be true.

Questions to ask about time, drying and warranty
A good contractor should answer these clearly before you book:
- How long will the job take? For reference, we polish the marble or tiles in a 3-room HDB in about one day.
- When can I use the floor? Polished stone can usually be walked on the next day. Epoxy grout needs to stay dry for 24 hours. Parquet varnish needs about 24 hours (oil-based) or a few hours (water-based).
- Is there a warranty, and what does it cover? Ask for it in writing. Ours is a 3-month workmanship warranty: if our work causes a problem within 3 months, we fix it at no extra cost.
- What is included in the price? Protection of furniture and walls, clean-up and a final check should all be part of the job.
