What your floor costs
Two taps: the size of the floor and the finish.
Your floor area × our guide rate
€2,160 to €3,600
36 m² at €60 to €100 a m², our guide for this finish. Our multiplication, not a quote. Small floors often cost more a m²: the grinder, the set-up and the travel are the same.
- The prep decides the price: a sound, bare slab costs least. Old paint, oil, cracks and damp add to it.
- Ask for VAT to be stated on every written price.
How this is worked out
The floor area you pick, times our price guide for the finish: €30 to €50 a m² for a roller coat, €50 to €120 a m² for a full system, €60 to €100 a m² for flake or metallic, €50 to €100 a m² for heavy-duty industrial. The multiplication is ours. Grinding, repairs, damp, steps, edges, coving, access and travel all move the price. It's an estimate, never a quote.

Questions people ask
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Ireland?
€30 to €120 a m² for most jobs. A roller coat in one colour is €30 to €50 a m²; a full system with diamond-ground prep is €50 to €120 a m²; flake and metallic floors are €60 to €100 a m². See our price guide.
Can epoxy go on any concrete floor?
On sound, dry concrete, yes. It won't hold on a slab that's damp, dusty, oily or painted unless that's dealt with first, which is why the grinding and the moisture test matter more than the resin. A new slab needs time to dry out before it's coated.
How long before I can use the floor?
At 20°C, about a day before you can walk on it, about 4 days for light use and about 7 days to a full cure. In a cold garage it's slower. See cure times.
How long does an epoxy floor last?
Laid on a well-prepared slab, 10 to 20 years. The top coat in busy areas wears first, and it can be sanded and recoated without starting again.
