Why choose polished concrete?
Polished concrete is the low-maintenance, long-life choice for indoor floors. It turns your existing slab into the finished surface, with no coating to peel, nothing to replace, and a clean, premium look that brightens the room.
Built to last decades
A properly polished slab is one of the most durable floors you can own, with no coating to peel or wear through, just hardened, refined concrete that handles heavy foot traffic and furniture.
Low maintenance
No waxing, no stripping, no recoating. Day-to-day care is a dust mop and the occasional damp mop, which is why warehouses and showrooms choose it.
Bright, clean interiors
A polished surface reflects light, lifting the brightness of living areas and commercial spaces and reducing the lighting you need to run.
Healthier underfoot
A sealed, dense polished floor doesn't harbour dust, allergens or mould the way carpet does, a genuine plus for allergy-prone households.
Choice of look
From a subtle cream finish to full stone exposure, and from a soft satin sheen to a high mirror gloss, we dial the finish to the room.
Uses the slab you have
If your existing slab is sound, polishing turns it into the finished floor, with no new flooring material, no landfill and lower cost.
Choose your sheen level
Polishing lets you dial the reflectivity to suit the space, from a soft, understated satin to a full mirror gloss.
Level 1
Satin (low sheen)
A soft, matte-to-low reflection. Understated and modern; hides minor surface variation well. Popular in homes.
Level 2
Semi-gloss
A clear step up in reflectivity that still isn't a mirror. A versatile middle ground for living areas and retail.
Level 3
High gloss / mirror
Maximum clarity and reflection. A showpiece finish for showrooms, entries and statement spaces.
And your aggregate exposure
Cream finish
Polishes the top cream layer with little to no stone showing. The most uniform, contemporary look.
Salt & pepper
A light cut revealing fine aggregate for a subtle speckle, and the most popular residential choice.
Full aggregate
A deeper grind exposing the full stone for a terrazzo-like result with maximum character.
Polished concrete vs honed concrete vs epoxy
Polished concrete is the premium smooth finish for indoor floors, with no coating to peel. Honed concrete is the lower-sheen grind-and-seal made for outdoors. Epoxy is a applied coating that's ideal for garages and workshops.
| Polished concrete | Honed concrete | Epoxy / flake | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Indoor living & commercial | Outdoor, pools, driveways | Garages, workshops |
| Surface | Polished concrete itself | Honed concrete + sealer | Applied resin coating |
| Coating to peel? | No | Sealer reapplied periodically | Yes (long-lived if prepped well) |
| Cost guide | $140–$220/m² | $60–$80/m² | $80–$100/m² |

Our polishing process
A real polish is a multi-stage mechanical process, not a topical coating. Here's how we take a raw slab to a refined floor.
- Step 1
Assess the slab
We review coatings, repairs, cracks, flatness and the finish you want, then confirm whether the slab is a good polishing candidate.
- Step 2
Initial grinding
The surface is opened and flattened with coarse diamonds to begin the mechanical refinement sequence.
- Step 3
Densify
A chemical densifier is applied at the right stage to harden the slab and support a clear, durable polish.
- Step 4
Refine & polish
We work up through progressively finer grits to build clarity, reflectivity and the target sheen.
- Step 5
Protect (optional)
Where it suits the room, a penetrating guard improves stain resistance and makes cleaning easier.
- Step 6
Handover & care
We explain cleaning, maintenance and realistic long-term expectations so the floor stays looking its best.

Concrete polishing FAQ
Click a question to expand.
How much does concrete polishing cost in Perth?
Polished concrete in Perth typically costs $140–$220 per square metre installed, depending on slab condition, area size, aggregate exposure, repairs, access and the level of refinement. Larger areas achieve a lower per-m² rate. We confirm pricing after reviewing photos, measurements and the finish you want.
Can existing concrete be polished?
Yes, if the slab is suitable. Existing coatings, patching, moisture, cracking and slab flatness all affect what result is possible, so we assess those factors first and tell you honestly what finish your slab can achieve.
Is polished concrete the same as honed concrete?
No. Honed concrete is a lower-sheen grind-and-seal system, usually used outdoors where the sealer handles UV and weather. Polished concrete is an interior mechanical process using densifiers and progressively finer grits to develop clarity and sheen without a surface coating.
Can you polish residential and commercial floors?
Yes. Polished concrete suits homes, showrooms, warehouses and commercial interiors wherever the slab condition and intended finish make polishing a good fit.
Will cracks disappear after polishing?
Cracks can often be improved or repaired, but concrete moves over time. Repairs can reduce visual impact, but no honest contractor can guarantee a repaired crack will never show again.
How long does polished concrete last?
A correctly polished and densified floor can last decades, with no coating to peel or wear off. Periodic re-polishing of high-traffic zones restores sheen if it ever dulls, but the floor itself is permanent.
Is polished concrete slippery?
Polished concrete is no more slippery than tile or timber when dry. For areas that may get wet, a penetrating guard or a slightly lower sheen improves grip. We'll recommend the right finish for the room.
How long does a polishing job take?
Most residential floors take 2–4 days depending on area, slab condition and the number of grinding/polishing passes required. We confirm timing in your quote.
