Epoxy flooring for Rondebosch homes
Rondebosch has a reputation that takes a while to earn and a long time to leave. It is home to more schools than any other suburb in South Africa, Rondebosch Boys, Bishops, SACS, Westerford, Rustenburg Girls and a dozen more within walking distance of each other. UCT sits on the slopes of Devil’s Peak above the suburb. Groote Schuur Hospital and Red Cross Children’s Hospital anchor the medical community below. This combination of institutions draws a consistent mix of families, academics, doctors and young professionals who buy in Rondebosch and stay, often for 25 years or more.
The homes reflect this permanence. Victorian and Edwardian houses on generous plots, double-storey family homes close to the sports fields, classic Cape vernacular architecture on the streets above the Common. These are properties that are owned and cared for and increasingly, renovated. Property values have climbed 93% over five years. Kitchens are being opened up. Garages that were used for storage are being finished properly. Outdoor entertaining areas are being upgraded to match the investment owners are making in the rest of the house.
Epoxy flooring fits naturally into all of this. It is the right choice for a Rondebosch home that is being renovated to a high standard, seamless, durable, maintenance-free and completely suited to the character of an established Southern Suburbs property.

Epoxy flooring services in Rondebosch
We offer a full range of epoxy flooring solutions for homes and businesses across Cape Town and the Western Cape.
Garage floor epoxy
The double garage is the most common epoxy job we do in Rondebosch. These are large, well-used spaces that have often been overlooked when the rest of the house was renovated. Bare concrete, oil marks and dust are the standard before we arrive, and a finished, oil-resistant epoxy floor is the standard when we leave. Most Rondebosch double garages are complete in one day.
Residential epoxy flooring
Rondebosch homes are built on generous plots and filled with the kind of character details, such as high ceilings, pressed steel ceilings, bay windows, and original skirting boards that are worth preserving. Epoxy flooring complements this rather than competing with it. A seamless kitchen or living area floor with no grout lines and no cracking tiles lets the architecture do the work. Clean, minimal and completely maintenance-free.
Heritage home floors
Many of Rondebosch’s most sought-after properties are Victorian cottages, Edwardian family homes and classic Cape vernacular houses on the streets around the Common. Owners of these properties often want a floor that feels contemporary without clashing with the building’s original character. The polished concrete look and warm-toned solid colour finishes we install in these homes are consistently some of the most striking results we produce in the Southern Suburbs.
Patio and outdoor epoxy
Rondebosch gardens are generous and well-used large patios, stoeps and braai areas that see constant family activity, particularly during school holidays and the Cape summer. We install UV-resistant, anti-slip epoxy systems for Rondebosch outdoor surfaces that hold their finish through Cape Town winters and look as good in year five as they did on day one. No peeling, no cracking, no re-painting required.

Student and rental property epoxy
Rondebosch has the highest concentration of schools in South Africa and sits on UCT’s doorstep. The demand for student accommodation and rental properties is constant, and landlords and investors know that a sealed, durable epoxy floor reduces maintenance costs significantly. No grout to regrout, no tiles to replace, no paint to reapply between tenants. One installation that outlasts multiple lease cycles.
Why Rondebosch Homeowners Are Choosing Epoxy Flooring For Renovations
Rondebosch homeowners typically renovate with a long-term mindset. Many properties are established family homes where owners want durable, low-maintenance finishes that respect the character of the home while improving practicality and appearance. Epoxy flooring has become an increasingly popular solution because it delivers both longevity and modern performance.
Creates A Long-Lasting Flooring Solution
Homeowners in Rondebosch often renovate with the intention of staying in their property for many years. Epoxy provides a durable surface designed to withstand daily use without requiring constant repairs or replacement.
Eliminates Problems Caused By Uneven Concrete
Many older Rondebosch homes have slabs that are not perfectly level. Epoxy systems can help smooth out minor surface irregularities during preparation, creating a cleaner and more consistent finish.
Prevents Cracking & Lifting Common With Tiles
Tiles installed over older or uneven slabs often crack or loosen over time as the substrate shifts. Epoxy bonds directly to the concrete surface, reducing these common failure points.
Resists Seasonal Moisture Damage
Southern Suburbs winters bring damp conditions that can affect timber and porous flooring materials. Epoxy’s sealed, non-porous surface resists moisture absorption and remains stable throughout seasonal changes.
Reduces Ongoing Floor Maintenance
Traditional flooring materials often require regular sealing, grout cleaning, repairs, or refinishing. Epoxy flooring is easy to maintain and typically requires little more than routine cleaning.
Preserves The Character Of Older Homes
Epoxy combines modern durability with clean, understated aesthetics that work well in both heritage properties and contemporary renovations.
Delivers A Seamless Modern Finish
Unlike tiled floors with grout lines and joints, epoxy creates one continuous surface that looks cleaner, feels more modern, and is easier to keep hygienic.
Ideal For Renovations Focused On Long-Term Value
For homeowners who want a floor that performs reliably for years without constant upkeep, epoxy offers a practical and cost-effective long-term solution.
Why Rondebosch homeowners choose Solid Tech Flooring
We only do epoxy floors
Epoxy flooring is all we do. We are not a painter who also does floors, and we are not a tiler who learned about epoxy last year. Every Rondebosch installation gets the full attention of a team that has focused on one discipline for years.
We prepare every surface before we coat it
We diamond-grind the concrete on every job without exception. For Rondebosch’s older homes, many with slabs dating back 50 to 80 years, this step is particularly important. It removes old adhesive, contamination and surface inconsistencies, and creates the mechanical bond that makes the epoxy permanent. No grinding means no bond. We never skip it.
We understand older homes and uneven slabs
Not all concrete is the same. Rondebosch’s heritage properties present specific challenges, including uneven surfaces, old adhesive residue, previously painted slabs and moisture ingress in basements and lower floors. We assess all of this during the free site visit and include the correct preparation in the quote before we start.
Written guarantee on every installation
Every Rondebosch floor comes with a written workmanship guarantee. If the floor fails because of our installation, we come back and fix it. That is in writing on every job.

What to expect
How we install epoxy floors in Rondebosch
01
Free site visit and assessment
We come to your Rondebosch property, look at every floor area you want done, check the concrete condition, including any older slab issues common in heritage homes, and talk through your finish options. You leave with a written quote. For larger Rondebosch family homes covering multiple areas, we walk every room before quoting, so the price is accurate.
02
Surface preparation
We diamond-grind the concrete on every job. For Rondebosch’s older homes, this often means grinding through old paint, adhesive residue or previous coating layers before reaching clean concrete. This extra preparation work is identified during the site visit and included in the written quote; there are no surprises on the invoice.
03
Defect and level repair
Cracks, chips and uneven areas are filled and levelled. Rondebosch heritage homes frequently have slabs with minor variations from decades of settlement. We level these as part of the preparation stage, so the finished surface is flat and consistent. For outdoor stoeps and patios, we check the drainage fall before applying any coating.
04
Epoxy application
Primer, body coat and topcoat are applied in layers with correct curing time between each. Finish coat applied in the style agreed during the site visit, polished concrete, solid colour, flake or metallic. For outdoor surfaces, a UV-resistant topcoat is used as standard.
05
Handover
Walk on the floor within 24 hours. Vehicles back in the garage within 48–72 hours. We do a final walkthrough, confirm the result meets the agreed standard, and leave written care instructions.
Frequently asked questions about epoxy flooring in Rondebosch
Can epoxy be installed over old tiles or original floors in a Rondebosch heritage home?
Yes, in most cases. Older Rondebosch homes often have original tiles, Victorian encaustic tiles, classic mosaic or basic ceramic tiles that have either cracked, lifted or simply worn through. We can apply epoxy over tiles that are firmly bonded and in reasonable condition. Loose or cracked tiles need to be removed first. For adhesive-contaminated slabs where tiles have already been removed, we grind the surface clean before coating. We assess all of this during the free site visit and quote accordingly.
Is epoxy suitable for student rental properties near UCT?
Yes, and it is one of the most cost-effective investments a Rondebosch landlord can make. A properly installed epoxy floor is far more durable than tiles or painted concrete under the wear of student occupation. There is no grout to regrout, no tiles to replace and no paint to reapply between tenants. One installation typically lasts the lifespan of multiple lease cycles, significantly reducing the ongoing maintenance cost of a rental property.
Can you floor an older Rondebosch home with an uneven slab?
Yes. Older homes in Rondebosch, many built between the 1920s and 1960s, frequently have slabs with minor undulations from decades of settlement. We fill and level these as part of the preparation stage. The skim coat process handles small variations, and larger undulations are addressed with a self-levelling compound before the epoxy layers are applied. The result is a flat, consistent surface regardless of what the original slab looks like.
How long does epoxy installation take in a Rondebosch home?
A single kitchen or garage takes one day. An open-plan living area or a combined garage-and-kitchen job takes two days. For larger Rondebosch family homes covering multiple rooms, a common request is that we scope the full project during the site visit and provide a timeline in writing. Most multi-room residential jobs in this area are complete in two to three days.
Do you cover all streets and areas in Rondebosch?
Yes. We cover all of Rondebosch, including Rondebosch Village, the streets around the Common, Belvedere Road, Sandown Road, Protea Road and the areas close to UCT, Bishops and the sports grounds. We also regularly work in Newlands, Claremont, Bishopscourt, Mowbray, Observatory, Rosebank, Kenilworth, Wynberg and the wider Southern Suburbs.
