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.
What we cover
Epoxy, polyurethane or polyaspartic
| Resin | What it's good at | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Epoxy | Hard, strong bond to concrete, chemical resistant | The base of most floors: garages, units, shops |
| Polyurethane (PU) | Flexible, takes UV, heat and steam better | Top coats, kitchens, cold stores, sunny rooms |
| Polyaspartic | Walk on it in hours, UV stable | Fast jobs, top coats over flake |
Most good floors combine them: an epoxy base for the bond, a PU or polyaspartic top coat where sunlight or heat would yellow or soften epoxy. The full comparison: resin flooring types · epoxy vs polished concrete.

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.
Is an epoxy floor slippery?
A smooth gloss coat can be slippery when wet. An anti-slip grit in the top coat fixes that. See anti-slip flooring.
Epoxy, polyurethane or polyaspartic?
Epoxy is the hard, well-bonded base most floors start with. Polyurethane takes heat, steam and UV better; polyaspartic cures in hours. Many good floors use two of them. See resin flooring.
Can I do it myself?
A home garage, yes, if you grind the slab properly and the concrete is dry. Paint-shop kits cost about €7 to €8 a m² for two coats, ex VAT. See garage floors, done for you or DIY.
