💰 Let’s Talk About Money: The Real Cost of Polished Concrete Floors in Sydney

When it comes to home or business renovations, money matters.

Polished concrete floor can enhance industrial spaces, offices and homes.

Flooring is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in a space, so it’s natural to ask:

“How much does polished concrete actually cost in Sydney?”

At Ausgrind, we believe in being transparent about pricing. No hidden extras, no confusing fine print — just clear information so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.

🔹 How Much Does Polished Concrete Cost Per Square Metre?

On average, a mechanically polished concrete floor in Sydney costs between $105 and $115 per square metre.

This price range depends on factors like:

• Condition of the slab – New slabs usually require less prep, while older or damaged ones may take more work.

• Finish you’re after – A high-gloss finish or full aggregate exposure involves more polishing steps.

• Size and layout of the area – Large open floors are quicker to polish, while smaller rooms with lots of walls and corners require more handwork.

🔹 Why Are Corners Charged Separately?

Corners are one of the most time-intensive parts of the job. While our large grinding machines handle most of the floor, corners have to be done by hand for the same flawless result.

That’s why we charge $100 per corner — it covers the extra labour and ensures the finish is seamless from edge to edge.

🔹 Polished Concrete vs. Grind & Seal: Cost Over Time

At first glance, grind & seal might look cheaper than a full mechanical polish. But here’s the catch:

• Grind & seal typically needs resealing every 3–5 years.

• Over time, that adds up to higher costs and more disruption.

• A mechanically polished floor, on the other hand, can last for decades with very little maintenance.

So while polished concrete may seem more expensive upfront, it’s often the more cost-effective choice long term.

🔹 Is Polished Concrete Worth the Price?

Absolutely. Here’s why:

✅ Long-lasting durability — no lifting tiles or peeling coatings

✅ Low maintenance — just a quick mop keeps it looking great

✅ Versatility — perfect for homes, garages, offices, and industrial floors

✅ Timeless aesthetic — sleek, modern, and adaptable to any design style

Think of polished concrete as an investment in the future of your space.
