Many clients ask about cost. A polished concrete floor in the UK is typically competitive compared with high-end tiles, hardwood or resin finishes, especially when you factor in long-term durability and low maintenance costs. Initial installation expenses vary depending on slab condition, area size, chosen finish and any repairs or overlays required. Directly polishing an existing slab is usually the most economical route, while overlays or deep repairs increase cost due to extra materials and labour. However, because polished concrete can last decades with minimal upkeep, the lifecycle cost is often lower than alternative floors that need periodic replacement or refinishing. At JLR Contracts we provide transparent, site-specific quotations after a survey, detailing all stages from preparation to sealing. We also discuss options to tailor the finish to your budget, such as choosing aggregates, sheen level and protective treatments.
