Single garage, plain epoxy$800 – $1,900

Double garage, flake finish$2,200 – $3,900

Large area or premium system$4,500 – $9,500

— Coating system. Plain epoxy is cheapest; flake mid-range; metallic and high-build polyurethane systems cost the most.

— Floor area. Larger areas cost more in total but usually get a sharper per-m² rate.

— Concrete condition. Cracks, old paint, oil stains and moisture issues all need fixing before coating.

— Preparation method. Diamond grinding costs more than acid etching but bonds far better and lasts longer.

— Edges & details. Steps, plinths and coving up walls add hand work beyond the flat area.

— Ask specifically whether the floor will be diamond ground — it's the biggest predictor of a coating that lasts.

— Oil-stained garage floors need degreasing and sometimes extra primer; point stains out at quote time.

— Allow several days before parking on a new coating — full cure takes longer than touch-dry.
