What Flooring Contractors Quote For

Not every contractor installs every system, so describe the floor and the finish you want when you request quotes.

How It Works

1. Request. You give your town, the type of property, the floor area in m² and the finish you want.
2. Match. Your request goes to independent flooring contractors that may cover your area.
3. Quote. Contractors reply with availability and a price, or ask to see the floor first.
4. Compare. You check the system, thickness, preparation, timing and warranty side by side.
5. Hire. You hire the contractor you choose, or nobody. There is no obligation.
6. Install. The contractor prepares the slab, installs the floor and tells you when it can be used.

Only pay a deposit against a written quote.

Types of Epoxy Floor

• Roller coat. Thin coats rolled onto concrete. The lowest cost option for light traffic.
• Self levelling. A thicker poured coat that flows to a smooth, seamless finish.
• Flake. Coloured vinyl flakes broadcast into the coating for texture and a speckled look.
• Metallic. Metallic pigments worked into the resin for a marbled, one-off finish.
• Non slip. Aggregate or grit added for grip in wet or oily areas.
• Epoxy mortar. Trowelled heavy-duty screeds for impact and heavy industrial wear.

Epoxy or Another Resin

• Epoxy. Hard, bonds well to concrete and resists many chemicals. Most systems yellow in sunlight.
• Polyurethane. More flexible and scratch resistant. Often used as a topcoat or for thermal shock.
• Polyaspartic. Cures fast and resists UV, so floors return to use sooner. Usually costs more.
• Other resins. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and cementitious urethane suit cold rooms and food plants.

Not all resin flooring is epoxy. A good quote names the resin and the system thickness.

Epoxy Flooring Prices at a Glance

Ballpark prices so you can sanity-check a quote. They are not quotations and no contractor is bound by them.

Preparation, floor condition, area, finish, access and after-hours work set the final price.

What to Include in Your Request

• Your town or city and suburb.
• The type of property: home, garage, shop, office, factory or warehouse.
• The approximate floor area in m².
• The current surface: bare concrete, tiles, old paint or an old coating.
• The finish you want: solid colour, flake, metallic, self levelling or non slip.
• When you would like the work done, and whether it must happen after hours.
• Photos of the floor, if the form or WhatsApp lets you send them.

Availability

Availability depends on your area, the size of the job and the season. Contractors are independent and decide which jobs they take on, so not every request can be matched. Larger and remote jobs may need a site visit before a firm price.

Comparing Contractors

Whoever you consider, compare like with like:

• System. The resin type, number of coats and total thickness in mm.
• Preparation. Diamond grinding or shot blasting, crack repair and moisture testing.
• Timing. Days on site, curing time and when you can walk or drive on the floor.
• Track record. Photos of their own completed floors and contactable references.
• Warranty. What it covers, for how long, and what voids it.
• Price terms. Per m² or fixed price, VAT, deposit and what counts as an extra.
