This is the text version of https://www.supertrades.com.au/calculators/epoxy-flooring-cost-calculator.

Use this Epoxy Flooring Cost Calculator to estimate epoxy flooring cost, epoxy floor installation cost, and epoxy garage floor price for Australian homes. Supply and install pricing typically starts from $55/m² for water-based epoxy and can reach $140/m² for metallic finishes, with all estimates shown in AUD.

## Epoxy Flooring price breakdown

Typical job based on 36 m². Prices are supply-and-install midpoints. Actual quotes vary.

| Type | Cost per m² | Typical 36 m² job |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Water-based epoxy | $55 | $1,980 |
| Solvent-based / high-build epoxy | $75 | $2,700 |
| Flake (chip) finish | $100 | $3,600 |
| Metallic epoxy | $140 | $5,040 |

## What affects Epoxy Flooring cost

- **Type of epoxy system:** The biggest driver of epoxy flooring price is the finish you choose. Water-based epoxy is priced at $55/m², solvent-based or high-build epoxy at $75/m², flake finish at $100/m², and metallic epoxy at $140/m² supply and install.
- **Floor condition and repairs:** If the slab is in good condition, the standard m² rate applies. If repairs are needed, add $15/m² before multiplying by the floor area, which increases the overall epoxy resin floor cost.
- **Total garage floor area:** This calculator is area-based, so a larger garage increases total epoxy floor coating cost in direct proportion to the m² rate. Smaller jobs can still be affected by the minimum job charge of $1500 AUD if the calculated amount falls below that level.
- **Estimate range and minimum charge:** Displayed estimates use a range of ±15% around the midpoint price, so the final epoxy flooring installation cost will usually sit within that band. For very small areas, the minimum job charge of $1500 AUD applies even if the raw per-square-metre maths is lower.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the typical epoxy flooring cost in Australia?

For supply and installation, epoxy flooring cost usually ranges from $55/m² for water-based epoxy to $140/m² for metallic epoxy. A common 36 m² job would come to about $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. Estimate ranges are generally shown at ±15% around those midpoints.

### How much is epoxy garage floor cost for a 36 m² garage?

Using the default 36 m² example, epoxy garage floor cost is about $1,980 for water-based epoxy, $2,700 for solvent-based/high-build epoxy, $3,600 for a flake finish, and $5,040 for metallic epoxy. If the slab needs repair, add $15/m² first, which adds $540 to a 36 m² job. All figures are in AUD and based on supply plus installation.

### What affects epoxy garage floor price the most?

The main factors are the coating type, the size of the garage, and whether the concrete needs repairs. For example, changing from a $55/m² water-based system to a $100/m² flake system substantially lifts the epoxy garage floor price, while slab repairs add another $15/m². Smaller jobs may also be lifted to the $1500 AUD minimum charge.

### How much is epoxy floor coating cost if the slab needs repair?

If repairs are required, add $15/m² to the selected coating rate before calculating the total. That means repaired slab pricing becomes $70/m² for water-based epoxy, $90/m² for solvent-based/high-build, $115/m² for flake, and $155/m² for metallic. On a 36 m² garage, that repair allowance adds $540 to the total epoxy floor coating cost.

### What is the epoxy garage floor installation cost for flake finish?

Flake finish is priced at $100/m² supply and install, making it one of the most popular decorative options. For a 36 m² garage, the midpoint epoxy garage floor installation cost is about $3,600 AUD if the slab is in good condition. If repairs are needed, the rate increases to $115/m², or about $4,140 for 36 m² before the ±15% estimate range.

### Is garage floor painting cost cheaper than garage epoxy cost?

Within this calculator, garage epoxy cost starts at $55/m² for water-based epoxy and goes up to $140/m² for metallic systems, with a $1500 AUD minimum job charge for small jobs. If you're comparing garage floor painting cost with a true epoxy system, this guide specifically prices epoxy supply and installation rather than standard paint-only coatings. For epoxy, your final garage epoxy price depends on the finish selected and whether repairs add $15/m².
