Epoxy coating & waterproofing in Makkah: cost & published offers
الخلاصة: In short: In Makkah (Makkah), epoxy coating & waterproofing (cost & published offers) begins with the moisture meter for ceilings and walls and the thickness measurement at spread-out points; nothing is opened until the position is clear. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Why epoxy coating & waterproofing differs in Makkah
Team note on Makkah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
The centre of Makkah sits about 301 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), a fact that shapes how water and moisture behave in local buildings. Makkah's city centre is set in a valley among hills, so ground-level basements and low walls can meet water from heavy seasonal rain that runs down toward the lower parts of the city. For that reason, basement waterproofing is priced at SAR 55–160 per m², a range that reflects how much pressure the surrounding ground can place on a wall below the water table.
Because the site lies in a dry, hot climate with sudden storms, the choice of material matters. Epoxy coating (per m²): SAR 35–95 per m² suits tanks, garage floors and wet rooms where a hard, sealed surface is needed, while Crack injection (per metre): SAR 40–125 per m is used where hairline cracks in concrete let water through after rain. Liquid roof waterproofing (per m²): SAR 10–25 per m² and Bitumen membrane (per m²): SAR 15–35 per m² protect flat roofs that collect rainwater, and Spray foam (per m²): SAR 25–35 per m² can seal irregular surfaces quickly. Tank internal coating (per m²): SAR 25–65 per m² and XPS boards (per m²): SAR 15–30 per m² round out the options for storage and insulated walls.
Owners in Makkah often avoid a few common mistakes once they understand the terrain. They do not treat a basement as a simple floor job, since ground pressure requires a higher-grade system than a bathroom. They do not leave hairline cracks unrepaired before applying a new surface, because coatings will fail over moving concrete. They also do not assume one price fits every space: a bathroom at SAR 15–40 per m² and a basement at SAR 55–160 per m² need different materials and preparation. Comparing the scope of each system, rather than the lowest figure alone, keeps repairs lasting.

When do you need epoxy coating & waterproofing?
If you notice one of these signs in Makkah, it is a good moment to talk to the team:
- A warehouse floor that is wearing away
- A tank that needs an easy-to-clean surface
- Oil stains on a floor
Causes we see in the field
- A common cause: a damp surface that ruins adhesion.
- Insufficient preparation.
Tools and methods, and when we use them
| Method | What it helps with | Its role in Makkah |
|---|---|---|
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
The steps in order
- Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
- Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
- Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
- Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.

Common questions about epoxy coating & waterproofing in Makkah
What does finishing work typically include?
It covers plastering, painting, flooring, stone or marble walls, ceilings, gypsum, doors, windows, and final electrical and plumbing installations. You can request full or partial finishing, with the scope clearly defined in the price quote.
Is it possible to renovate the building without evacuating the residents?
In many cases it can be carried out in phases without a full evacuation if the damage is limited. However, for extensive structural renovation, a temporary evacuation may be recommended to ensure safety, and the contractor will explain this in their proposal.
Does waterproofing require removing existing tiles?
It depends on the site condition. Sometimes surface waterproofing can be applied over tiles, while deep leaks require tile removal to treat the layer underneath. A technician will determine the best option after inspection.
What is the first step of epoxy coating & waterproofing (cost & published offers)?
We start with surface moisture reading (epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough), then careful preparation (grinding and cleaning for adhesion).
How much does epoxy coating & waterproofing cost in Makkah?
From our published price list: Epoxy coating (per m²) SAR 35–95 per m². Quantities are confirmed at the inspection.
What do I get at the end?
The epoxy system, thickness and curing time, in a technical report that carries a verification code.

The written output: the epoxy system, thickness and curing time. The report is numbered and can be checked with its verification code.
Planning the visit in Makkah
- Keep photos of the problem and of any earlier repairs — they help the technician compare before and after.
- If you rent, tell your landlord or building management before the visit and agree in writing who pays; the written report can be shared with them.
- Have access ready to the water meter, the tank hatches, the roof and the main valve; in apartment buildings the roof keys are often with the building guard (haris).
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
