Preparation is the biggest variable
A clean, sound slab needs only grinding. A floor with old coatings, oil, cracks and broken joints needs much more. Cheap quotes often skip preparation, and that is why coatings peel.
The system and its thickness
A dust-proofing seal, a thin-film coating, a self-levelling epoxy and a 6 mm PU screed are very different amounts of material and labour. Check that quotes compare the same system and thickness.
Area and access
Larger areas usually cost less per square metre. Racking, machinery, stairs, night or weekend work and phased areas add time.
Downtime and cure
Fast-curing systems such as MMA cost more in material but can save days of lost operation. Weigh both.
How to compare quotes
Ask each contractor to state the preparation, the repairs, the system, the thickness, the finish and what the warranty covers. Chemsafe sends a written quote after a site visit, and prices are confirmed on final measurements.
