How much does an epoxy floor cost in Geelong?

Indicative epoxy floor prices for Geelong & the Bellarine, the real cost drivers, and why the slab underneath swings the figure more than anything else.

An honest look at what an epoxy floor costs in Geelong and the Bellarine — the indicative per-square-metre bands, what actually drives the price, and why the slab underneath is the biggest swing.

Indicative epoxy floor prices

Every floor is quoted individually after we’ve seen the slab, but as a starting point these are the indicative installed bands we work from (ex GST). They’re a guide, not a fixed price — the condition of the concrete moves them more than anything.

Floor typeIndicative installed (ex GST)
Garage floor — flakeDiamond-ground, flake finish, topcoat~A$75–130/m²
Commercial / industrial floorUse-matched epoxy/polyurethane, line marking extra~A$60–140/m²
Outdoor / decorative (UV-stable)Flake or colour + polyaspartic topcoat~A$95–175/m²
Metallic feature floorIndoor, hand-worked, one-of-a-kind~A$130–230/m²

These are indicative placeholders, not a quote. We confirm real figures on site against the slab condition and the product data sheets, then issue a fixed written quote before any work is booked.

What drives the price

Two garages of the same size can quote very differently. Here’s where the money actually goes:

  • Slab preparation — the big one. Diamond-grinding, crack and joint repair and dealing with any contamination is the work that makes the floor last. A quote that skips it is cheaper for a reason.
  • Slab condition & moisture. An old slab with cracks, pop-outs or a moisture problem needs more prep (and sometimes a moisture-barrier primer) before any coating is worth laying.
  • The system. A standard flake epoxy is one price; a fast-cure polyaspartic, a chemical-resistant industrial build, or a UV-stable outdoor system costs more because the materials do.
  • Finish & size. Metallic feature floors are hand-worked and take longer; larger areas are more efficient per m². Anti-slip, line marking and coving are add-ons.

The honest version: a floor lives or dies by the prep. We’d rather quote the grind and the right system than win the job on a thin coat that fails — because the failure becomes your problem, and our reputation.

FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers. Can't see yours? Ask us — we're happy to talk it through.

Is an epoxy floor more expensive than painting the slab?

Up front, yes — and it should be. Hardware-store “garage paint” is a thin single-part coating that peels under hot tyres and lifts at the first oil drip, so you pay again within a season or two. A properly ground, high-build epoxy system costs more to install but is a different product that lasts. We’d rather quote the job that lasts than the one you redo.

What makes one epoxy quote much higher than another?

Almost always the preparation and the system. A cheap quote often means acid-etching instead of diamond-grinding, a thin build, or no moisture check — all of which shorten the floor’s life. A fair quote prices the grind, crack repair, the right number of coats and a UV-stable topcoat where it’s needed. Compare what’s included, not just the number.

Can you give me a price over the phone?

We can give you an indicative range like the ones on this page, but not a fixed price — because the slab decides a lot of it. How much grinding and crack repair it needs, whether there’s a moisture problem, the size and the finish all move the figure. That’s why we assess on site and then put a fixed written quote in front of you.

Does the price include moving everything and prep?

Our quotes set out exactly what’s included — typically slab preparation, crack and joint repair, primer, build coat, your chosen finish and a topcoat. Clearing the space is usually yours to do (an empty floor preps faster and costs less). We confirm the inclusions in writing before any work is booked.
