Estimate only, not a quote

This is a planning estimate, not a quote. Actual installed cost depends on your local labor and material pricing, exact floor condition, and the contractor you choose — get a few local quotes before committing.

Your location can move this range

This range uses national planning data for the system and condition you selected above. Add your postal code, exact prep needs, and installation preference for a project-specific range built on regional pricing — not a national average.

How this estimate works

This calculator estimates cost the same way a quote does: area × a low-to-high installed rate per m², plus any prep or add-on costs you enter, plus your contingency percentage. Treat the result as a planning range, not a fixed quote — site access and slab condition both move the final number.

Epoxy system cost per m² (Australia)

System Installed cost per m²
Basic (water-based) $47 – $63
High-build (solvent-based) $64 – $86
Decorative flake $85 – $115
Metallic $119 – $161

Self-leveling and specialized/industrial systems don’t have a sourced range yet — enter your own local price for those. Ranges above are built around a published per-m² rate with a ±15% spread, matching how Australian installers typically quote supply-and-install pricing.

What commonly adds to the base rate

  • Repairs to cracked, pitted, or damaged concrete: commonly an extra ~$15/m² before the coating rate is applied
  • Small jobs may be lifted to a minimum charge (commonly around $1,500 AUD) regardless of the calculated area total

Worked example

A 36 m² double garage floor with a flake finish, good slab condition, and 10% contingency:

  • Base coating/system: $3,060 – $4,140 (36 m² × $85–$115/m²)
  • With 10% contingency: $3,366 – $4,554
  • Likely midpoint: $3,960
  • Estimated rate: $93.50 – $126.50 per m²

FAQs

What is the typical epoxy flooring cost in Australia?

Supply-and-install pricing typically ranges from about $55/m² for water-based epoxy to $140/m² for metallic finishes, with solvent-based/high-build around $75/m² and flake around $100/m².

How much does epoxy garage floor cost for a 36 m² garage?

Using a 36 m² double garage as an example: roughly $1,980 for water-based epoxy, $2,700 for solvent-based/high-build, $3,600 for flake, or $5,040 for metallic — before any repair allowance or contingency.

Does slab repair add to epoxy flooring cost?

Yes — if the concrete needs repair rather than just being clean and sound, expect roughly an extra $15/m² added to the base rate before your total is calculated.

Is there a minimum job charge for epoxy flooring in Australia?

Many installers apply a minimum job charge (commonly around $1,500 AUD) for small areas, even if the raw per-m² math works out lower — factor this in for small spaces like a single garage bay.
