Epoxy Flooring Price in Kenya: What It Costs and Why Quotes Differ Tenfold
Epoxy flooring costs KES 350 to 600 per m² for a basic coating, 600 to 900 standard and 900 to 1,500+ decorative or 3D. A 32 m² Westlands garage came to KES 34,000, about KES 1,060 per m².

| Finish | Rate |
|---|---|
| Basic coating | KES 350 – 600 / m² |
| Standard finish | KES 600 – 900 / m² |
| High-end decorative or 3D | KES 900 – 1,500+ / m² |
A real example
A 32 m² garage in Westlands, done properly:
| KES | |
|---|---|
| Surface preparation | 6,000 |
| Epoxy materials | 18,500 |
| Labour | 9,500 |
| Total | 34,000 |
That is about KES 1,060 per square metre all in, for a standard finish on a slab that needed normal preparation.
Epoxy against tiles on cost
Mid-range tiling supplied and installed in Kenya runs KES 2,000 – 4,000 per m², so a standard epoxy finish at KES 600 – 900 costs well under half of it. The catch is where it suits: garages, stores, workshops and clinics, not bedrooms.
Why quotes differ so much
The product tier. Coatings and self-levelling industrial systems are both called “epoxy” and differ by an order of magnitude in price. Most Kenyan quotations do not say which they are.
The preparation. This is where a cheap quote is actually cheap. Grinding costs more than acid etching and bonds far better. A moisture test costs almost nothing and is routinely skipped. Cracks properly bridged cost more than cracks coated over.
None of that is visible on handover day. All of it decides whether the floor is still sound in three years.
The slab you have. A new, level, dry slab needs little. An old slab with rising damp, cracks and a polished power-floated surface needs a great deal, and no honest quote can be given for it without a look.
Coverage, if you want to check a quote
Epoxy covers roughly 3–5 m² per litre per coat, primer 4–6 m², topcoat 3–4 m². Multiply by the number of coats quoted and you can sanity-check whether the material figure is plausible for the area.

What a floor price usually leaves out
Between 10 and 20 percent of a flooring budget sits in these, and almost no Kenyan quotation itemises them. We do, so you can see the real number before committing.
- Subfloor preparation: levelling, patching or a self-levelling screed where the slab is out
- Damp-proof membrane or moisture barrier where the slab tests wet
- Underlay, on laminate and SPC
- Skirting, beading and threshold strips between rooms
- Removing and disposing of the existing floor
