A verifiable 2026 price reference
EpoxyChem Flooring SA publishes these rates in its 2026 industrial and commercial flooring price list. The company is based in Kraaifontein, and the PDF does not establish a Bloemfontein installation price or detail every inclusion. Preparation, repairs, minimum area and travel need separate confirmation. Checked 11 November 2026.

What a comparable quotation should explain
| Item | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Measured area | Does the quote cover the same floor area and all required zones? |
| Preparation | Is removal, grinding or other preparation included and described? |
| Repairs and moisture | What is included, what must be tested and what remains provisional? |
| Flooring system | Which primer, resin, layers, thickness and topcoat are specified? |
| Details | Are joints, edges, coving, steps or drainage interfaces included? |
| Commercial terms | Are VAT, travel, minimum charges and waste removal included? |
| Handover | What are the return-to-use, maintenance and warranty conditions? |
Paint, kits and installation prices
First establish what the price buys. A coating product, a specified flooring system and an installation quotation describe different parts of a project.
| Price label | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| Paint or DIY kit | Included materials, coverage per coat, number of coats and any tools supplied. Allow separately for preparation and labour. |
| High-build flooring system | The named primer, resin layers, finished thickness and topcoat. Confirm whether the stated rate includes application and preparation. |
| Installation quotation | The actual work on your floor: assessment, removal, repairs, preparation and application, with exclusions, travel, minimum charges and VAT stated. |
Thickness helps explain the difference: Pro-Struct's April 2026 garage-kit sheet specifies a 0.12 mm dry film across two coats, while the supplier examples above describe 1–3 mm high-build systems. Suitability depends on the specified product and use. A tin size alone cannot establish the installed cost.
Build a project budget from an actual quote
Use the supplier’s published examples to understand how specifications differ. Use a written quote for your own floor to build the project budget. Keep anything that is not yet priced visible instead of treating it as zero.
Measure the area and keep the scope visible
For a rectangular space, multiply its measured length by its width. Split irregular spaces into separate rectangles and note fixed obstructions. An approximate area helps prepare an enquiry; the contractor must confirm the measured scope.
| Budget line | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Base floor work | Measured area × the quoted rate, or the supplier’s stated fixed charge. Record the specified system alongside it. |
| Preparation and removal | The quoted scope and cost; mark provisional if the old coating or base still needs assessment. |
| Repairs and details | Separately priced cracks, joints, edges, steps, coving or other work. |
| Project extras | Travel, minimum charges, equipment movement and waste handling, where applicable. |
| Tax and total | Record whether each figure includes VAT and use the tax treatment stated on the quote. |
| Unpriced items | Keep exclusions and provisional work in a separate list before comparing totals. |
The calculation, using your figures
Base work = confirmed area × the rate in your quote. If the contractor quotes a fixed charge, use that figure instead. Add the separately priced extras and the quoted tax treatment to reach the stated project total.
Do not add preparation twice if it is already included in the base rate. Leave unpriced repairs and exclusions visible; an unknown figure is not zero.
Preparation: moisture is system-specific
For example, the South African Sikafloor-264 ZA data specifies a substrate moisture limit of 4% by weight and no rising moisture, using its stated assessment methods. This must not be turned into a universal threshold for every resin floor. Ask for the selected system's requirements and what will be done if the floor falls outside them.
Why your floor needs a project-specific quote
A useful comparison starts with quotations for your floor: its measured area, the proposed system, preparation and repairs, and whether VAT is included. Make sure each provider has allowed for the same work before comparing the total.
A national price guide or a retail epoxy kit price is not an installed quote for a property in Bloemfontein. Ask for a project-specific breakdown, including any assumptions that could change the price after inspection.
If the existing floor is tiled, ask for retaining the tiles versus removal to be scoped separately. The condition beneath the finish and any change in floor height can affect the work being quoted.
Questions, answered.
Are these prices available through this website?
No. They are attributed examples from an independent supplier's public price list. This website does not issue flooring quotations or guarantee those rates.
Should I multiply the published rate by my garage area?
That multiplication is only a mathematical illustration. It does not account for the supplier's scope, minimum charges, your substrate or local access and travel. Use a project-specific written quotation for a budget commitment.
Is a DIY kit cheaper than a professionally installed floor?
A kit and an installation include different things. Compare materials, preparation equipment, repairs, time, waste and any professional labour rather than treating a kit price as the total installed cost.
Does a more expensive quotation necessarily specify a better floor?
No. Compare the actual system, preparation, exclusions and performance requirements. A higher price without a clearer scope is not evidence of suitability.
