Pricing and project context
Sydney garage epoxy is priced per square metre of measured floor: solid colour $25–$60/sqm, flake $50–$90/sqm, metallic $100–$160/sqm. A standard double garage of 40–60sqm therefore runs $1,000–$3,600 in solid colour, $2,000–$5,400 in flake, or $4,000–$9,600 in metallic. Prices are ex-GST and assume a sound concrete substrate. Existing coating removal, crack and joint repair beyond the quoted allowance, moisture mitigation, and access constraints are itemised separately in your written quote.
FAQs
How much does an epoxy garage floor cost in Sydney?
Sydney epoxy garage floors typically cost $1,000 to $9,600 depending on system and garage size. For a standard double garage (40–60sqm): solid colour $1,000–$3,600, flake $2,000–$5,400, metallic $4,000–$9,600. All quotes include diamond grinding preparation, primer, body coats, topcoat, and a written workmanship warranty.
What does garage epoxy cost per square metre in Sydney?
Solid colour epoxy runs $25–$60/sqm, flake epoxy $50–$90/sqm, and metallic epoxy $100–$160/sqm, ex-GST, over a sound slab. The rate applies to the area measured on site. Coating removal, repairs beyond the quoted allowance, moisture mitigation and restricted access are itemised separately rather than averaged into the rate.
What is included in a Surface Master garage epoxy quote?
Diamond grinding to a CSP 2–3 profile, the itemised crack and joint repair allowance, primer, body coats, the specified flake or decorative finish, a UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat rated for hot tyres, and written workmanship warranty terms. Coating removal, structural repairs, moisture mitigation, emptying the garage, and access or power allowances are quoted separately.
What is the best epoxy system for a Sydney garage?
Flake epoxy is the system commonly chosen for Sydney residential garages — it hides slab imperfections, masks future tyre pickup and oil spots, comes in many colour blends, and provides P4–P5 slip resistance with a topcoat. Solid colour suits utility garages or workshops; metallic suits premium homes where the garage is on display.
How long does it take to epoxy a Sydney garage?
A standard double garage (40–60sqm) takes 2–3 days. Day 1 is diamond grinding and crack repair, day 2 is primer plus base coat with flake broadcast, day 3 is the clear topcoat. Walkable in 24 hours, full vehicle use in 72 hours, full chemical resistance after 7 days.
Can I epoxy over an existing garage floor coating?
No. Existing coatings must be mechanically removed first. We diamond grind back to bare concrete to achieve a clean CSP 2–3 profile. Coating over an old or failing coating is a frequent cause of premature epoxy failure in residential garages, and removal is quoted as a separate line item.
Will hot tyres lift the epoxy off my garage floor?
Hot tyre pickup is caused by two failures: poor preparation (the coating did not bond), or the wrong topcoat (standard epoxy without a polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat). Surface Master Australia diamond grinds every Sydney garage and finishes with a UV-stable polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat specifically rated for hot tyre contact.
Do you do epoxy garage floors in my Sydney suburb?
We cover all Sydney metropolitan areas including Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District, and Western Sydney. We have published localised landing pages for over 35 Sydney suburbs. Call 0424 907 758 with your address for a free site inspection.
Is the epoxy garage floor slippery when wet?
Standard epoxy has moderate slip resistance. Flake systems are inherently slip-resistant due to the broadcast texture (typically P4). For solid colour or metallic garages where slip is a concern, we add aluminium oxide or fine quartz anti-slip aggregate to the topcoat to achieve P4 or P5.
What warranty do you offer on Sydney epoxy garage floors?
Surface Master Australia provides a written workmanship warranty on every Sydney garage epoxy installation. Warranty terms cover delamination and coating failure when used as specified, and are confirmed in writing in your quote before work starts.
