See My Location-Adjusted Project RangeHow this estimate works
This calculator takes your floor area and multiplies it by a low-to-high installed price per m², then layers on any surface preparation or add-on costs you enter and your contingency percentage. What comes out is a planning range, not a fixed quote — your installer, region, and the concrete’s condition still decide the final number.
Epoxy system cost per m² (UK)

What commonly adds to the base rate
- Diamond grinding or shot blasting: £5 – £15 per m²
- Crack repairs: £15 – £25 per linear metre
- Moisture barrier (if damp is present): £8 – £15 per m²
- Professional labour: £40 – £75 per m² (London typically runs 10–15% above the national average)
Worked example
A 30 m² garage floor with a flake finish, no extra prep, and 10% contingency:
- Base coating/system: £1,800 – £3,000 (30 m² × £60–£100/m²)
- With 10% contingency: £1,980 – £3,300
- Likely midpoint: £2,640
- Estimated rate: £66 – £110 per m²
