Epoxy Flooring Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of epoxy flooring for a garage, warehouse or commercial space in Australia.
💰 Ways to save
- A roll-on solid-colour coating ($30–$80/m²) is the cheapest finish for a basic garage, while flake and metallic systems cost more for a tougher, better-looking floor.
- Because most jobs carry a minimum charge of $1,500–$2,000+GST, do the whole slab at once to lower the effective per-square-metre rate.
- Pay for proper diamond-grind prep; it's the difference between a coating that lasts 15–20 years and a DIY-style finish that peels in one to three.

Epoxy flooring is priced per square metre, supplied and installed. A basic roll-on solid-colour coating runs about $30–$80, a flake or decorative system $80–$120 (metallic finishes $100–$160), and a self-levelling or industrial system $90–$140. Almost every job carries a minimum charge of $1,500–$2,000 plus GST regardless of size, so very small floors cost more per square metre than large ones.

Understanding epoxy flooring costs in Australia
Epoxy flooring is priced per square metre, supplied and installed. A basic roll-on solid-colour coating runs about $30–$80, a flake or decorative system $80–$120 (metallic finishes $100–$160), and a self-levelling or industrial system $90–$140. Almost every job carries a minimum charge of $1,500–$2,000 plus GST regardless of size, so very small floors cost more per square metre than large ones.
Surface preparation is the part that determines whether the floor lasts, and it's a real line item. Diamond grinding, which mechanically opens the concrete pores so the epoxy keys in, typically adds $5–$25 a square metre (usually $15–$25). Skipping it is the single biggest cause of failure, leading to delamination, peeling and hot-tyre pickup in the garage.
Damp slabs need a moisture barrier, which adds roughly $15–$30 a square metre, and a failing or cracked slab should be repaired before coating, since epoxy over a poor slab won't hold. This is why a quote that looks cheap may simply be skipping prep that the floor actually needs.
DIY kits at $8–$20 a square metre are tempting but typically peel within one to three years without professional prep, whereas a properly prepped professional flake floor can last 15–20 years. These are indicative ranges; confirm the prep method, whether a moisture barrier is needed and the minimum charge before committing.
