How long does an epoxy or resin floor take to cure?+
Most epoxy systems are walkable within 24 hours and fully cured for heavy traffic within 5–7 days, depending on the product and site conditions. We'll give you exact timelines for your project during the quote.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Cape Town?+
Epoxy flooring in Cape Town typically starts from R180–R350 per m² for a standard two-coat system, and R400–R800+ per m² for decorative or metallic systems. The final price depends on floor condition, surface prep required, and the finish chosen. We provide itemised, no-obligation quotes.
How much does polished concrete cost in Cape Town?+
Polished concrete costs vary widely — basic honing starts from around R250/m² while a full multi-pass diamond grind and polish with topcoat runs R450–R900/m² depending on the gloss level and floor condition. Contact us for a free site visit and accurate quote.
How much does microcement cost in Cape Town?+
Microcement flooring in Cape Town typically costs R500–R950 per m² installed, including substrate preparation, multiple microcement layers, and a protective sealant. Wall applications are similarly priced. Costs depend on the area size and condition of the existing surface.
Can you install over existing tile or concrete?+
In most cases, yes — microcement in particular is designed to go directly over sound existing tile or concrete with minimal demolition. Damaged or unstable substrates need repair first, which we'll flag during our site visit.
Do you provide free quotes?+
Yes. Site visits within 45km of Cape Town CBD are free of charge. For areas further out, a R350 travel fee applies, which is credited back if you proceed with the project. Contact us via WhatsApp or our booking form.
What areas do you service?+
We cover the full Cape Town metro — CBD, Atlantic Seaboard, Northern and Southern Suburbs, Hout Bay, and the Cape Flats — plus surrounding Western Cape areas including Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay, Wellington, and the West Coast. We also take select projects in George and the Garden Route.
How do I maintain a polished concrete or epoxy floor?+
Both are low-maintenance — regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner is usually all that's needed. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers. We'll provide written care instructions specific to your finish after installation.
How long does microcement last?+
Properly installed and sealed microcement lasts 15–25 years in residential settings. The key is quality application and the right sealant for the environment — we use industry-grade topcoats rated for high-traffic floors and wet areas.
Is epoxy flooring suitable for outdoor use?+
Standard epoxy is not UV-stable and will yellow outdoors. For outdoor use we recommend a polyurethane topcoat or a UV-stable epoxy system. Polished concrete and decorative screed are also excellent outdoor options. We'll advise on the right system during your site visit.
Can epoxy flooring be applied in a garage?+
Yes — epoxy is one of the most popular garage floor solutions. It's chemical-resistant, easy to clean, and available in a range of finishes including solid colours and decorative flake. We assess the concrete slab first to check for moisture and adhesion before applying.
How long does an installation take?+
A standard epoxy garage floor (40–60 m²) takes 1–2 days to apply plus 24–48 hours cure time before use. Polished concrete takes 2–4 days depending on the level of finish. Microcement projects typically run 3–5 days including all layers and sealing. We work around your schedule wherever possible.
Do you do commercial flooring projects?+
Yes. We work on retail fit-outs, office spaces, restaurants, warehouses, and hospitality venues across Cape Town and the Western Cape. Commercial projects have dedicated project management and can often be scheduled out of hours to minimise disruption.
