Is epoxy coating and waterproofing worth it for a restaurant kitchen or back-of-house floor in Samtah? Samtah sits at about 61 m above sea level, and the town is roughly 22.6 km from the sea coast, so the local climate is not the same as on the shoreline. For a restaurant, the question is usually about durability and hygiene: floors and walls that take daily washing, grease, and heavy foot traffic need a surface that holds up. Epoxy coating is priced at SAR 35–90 per m², while spray foam sits at SAR 20–45 per m² and bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m². Cracks in the slab are priced separately at SAR 40–120 per metre for crack injection, so a site with existing cracks will need that work before any coating goes down. The right choice depends on what surface you are protecting and how it will be used.
Our inspection starts with a walk through the premises to record the areas to be treated, including floors, wall bases, and any sections exposed to water. The inspector measures the surface area in square metres and notes every visible crack, measuring its length in metres so the scope can be priced line by line. Moisture and surface condition are checked before anything is recommended, because a coating applied over damp or loose concrete will fail early. Where the building has a basement or a roof that holds water, those areas are assessed separately, since basement waterproofing runs at SAR 50–150 per m² and liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m². The inspector then writes a clear scope that shows which treatments are needed and which can wait.
Before the visit, gather the drawings or a rough sketch of the restaurant layout, including the kitchen, storage, washrooms, and any roof or basement areas. Note where you have seen water staining, peeling paint, or cracks, and take photos if possible. Let the team know when the restaurant is quietest, because most coating work needs the area empty and dry for a set period. Clear access to the areas being inspected will save time on the day. With these details ready, the inspection can move straight to measurement and a clear written scope for your restaurant.
For restaurants, visits are planned outside service hours and recorded for the premises file.

How we choose the tool in Samtah
| Method | What it helps with | Its role in Samtah |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
How the work is done, step by step
- 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.
