Preparing a concrete floor for a traditional screed

How much would it cost to just prepare an existing concrete floor (so roughing up and priming) for a traditional sand and cement screed? Area approx eighty square metres. Thank you.

"You’ll be looking around the 25 m2 mark
Priming should be done just before the screed goes in, obviously allowing to go off first"
