What it costs in Mayo
| Job | Typical price | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Polished concrete, most floors | €90 to €150 a m² | The finish, how much stone shows, the edges and joints, and the size of the floor. |
| A large floor, standard finish (over 100 m²) | from €55 to €60 a m² | Bigger floors cost less a m²: the machines and the set-up are the same. |
| A small floor (under 100 m²) or a high-end finish | from €120 a m² | More grinding passes, more stone showing, a higher gloss. |
| Unusual work | over €200 a m² | Colour, inlays, steps and awkward access. |
| Rural jobs, far from the contractor | add €20 to €30 a m² | The travel with heavy machines. |
59% of people in Mayo live outside any town. Polishing contractors travel with heavy machines, so ask how travel is priced, and whether two jobs nearby share it.
What a polished floor costs for your size
Three taps: the size of the floor, the finish and where you are.
Your floor area × the usual rate
€10,800 to €18,000
120 m² at the usual €90 to €150 a m². Our multiplication, not a quote. For this size and finish the rate starts at €55 to €60 a m², so from €6,600.
- A 190 m² city new build with a mid-range finish comes in at about €20,000, about €105 a m².
- On a new build the slab is poured anyway, so the polish is the extra. On an existing slab, the grinding and polishing is the whole cost.
- Ask for VAT to be stated on every written price.
How this is worked out
The floor area you pick, times the usual €90 to €150 a m². The starting rate for the size and finish is under it, with the €20 to €30 a m² extra for rural jobs. The multiplication is ours. Edges, joints, steps, colour, the sealer, cracks to fill and access all move the price, and so does how far the contractor travels. It's an estimate, never a quote.

A photo that works
- Daylight, lights on if it's dull.
- From the doorway, so most of the floor is in the shot.
- A building site is fine: the slab, the plaster, the lot.
- Hold the phone level, not pointed at your feet.
