Epoxy Garage Floor Coatings — South East Melbourne
Professional epoxy floor installation for residential garages and commercial floors. Surface preparation first. No subcontractors.
Family-owned · In the trade since 1987 · Master Painters member · No subcontractors
A garage floor epoxy coating is only as good as the preparation underneath it.
We install epoxy floor coatings for residential garages and selected commercial floors across South East Melbourne. The preparation — grinding, patching, priming — determines whether an epoxy coating lasts years or starts peeling within 12 months. We do not apply epoxy over unprepared concrete.
Family-owned and operated, with members in the trade since 1987. No subcontractors — our own team handles your job from surface assessment through to final coat. Written fixed-price quotes after on-site inspection.

Epoxy Floor Systems We Install
Solid Colour Epoxy
A clean, consistent finish for suitable residential garages, workshops and utility areas. Durable, easy to clean and available in a range of colours.
Flake / Chip Epoxy
Decorative flakes broadcast into the coating system and sealed with a clear topcoat. A practical option for garages because it adds texture and helps disguise minor visual imperfections.
Metallic Epoxy
A decorative high-gloss finish suited to showrooms, feature spaces and selected premium garage floors. Suitability and finish expectations are confirmed before quoting.
Commercial Kitchen Epoxy
Epoxy and polyurethane flooring systems for suitable food preparation, kitchen and service areas, specified for cleanability, slip resistance and site requirements after inspection.
Garage & Workshop Floors
Heavy-duty epoxy systems for workshop environments with vehicle traffic, chemical exposure and heavy equipment — specified for the load and use requirements of the specific floor.
Driveway Concrete Coatings
Exterior-grade coating systems for suitable concrete driveways and outdoor surfaces, specified for UV exposure, slip resistance and weather conditions. Surface suitability is assessed before quoting.

Why Preparation Determines Everything
The most common reason epoxy garage floors fail — peeling, bubbling, delaminating within months of installation — is inadequate surface preparation. Concrete must be mechanically abraded, not acid-etched, to create the surface profile that allows epoxy to bond properly. Smooth concrete, sealed concrete and concrete that has not been properly profiled will not hold an epoxy coating over time, regardless of the product used.
Moisture is the other primary cause of failure. Concrete that has moisture transmission from below — from a damp subfloor, a high water table or inadequate drainage — will push an epoxy coating off the surface from underneath. We test for moisture before specifying the coating system. Where moisture transmission is present, we advise on appropriate moisture-barrier primers or, where the moisture problem is structural, advise that epoxy is not the right solution.
Cracks, spalling, joint edges and surface damage are assessed and repaired before coating. An epoxy coating applied over an unrepaired crack will transmit that crack to the surface within months. We include crack repairs in the scope, not as a mid-job addition.
Surfaces and Suitability
Most new and established concrete garage floors in South East Melbourne’s residential housing stock are suitable for epoxy coating when properly prepared. Suitable substrates include:
- Standard poured concrete garage floors (most common in SE Melbourne)
- Concrete workshop and shed floors
- Commercial concrete floors in sound condition
- Driveways and outdoor concrete surfaces (with appropriate exterior-grade systems)
Some floor conditions require assessment before epoxy is confirmed:
- Concrete with active moisture transmission — epoxy will delaminate if moisture is pushing through from below
- Heavily cracked or structurally compromised slabs — coating does not address structural slab failure
- Floors with significant surface contamination from oil, chemicals or previous coatings that cannot be fully removed by grinding
- Very thin concrete overlays or topping slabs with poor adhesion to the substrate below
We assess all floors on-site before confirming suitability and specifying the appropriate system. We do not quote epoxy floors without first inspecting the surface.
Epoxy Garage Floor Cost
Epoxy garage floor costs depend on the floor area, the chosen coating system, surface condition, and the required preparation. As a general guide for South East Melbourne:
Standard Single Garage (20–30m²)
Typically $1,500 – $3,000+ for a solid colour or flake epoxy system including surface grinding, priming and two-coat application.
Double Garage (40–60m²)
Typically $2,500–$5,000+, depending on system choice, surface condition, and required preparation.
Commercial Floors
Quoted per project after on-site assessment. Commercial systems, slip-resistance requirements and hygiene coatings are specified and priced based on the specific floor and use.
Note:
Floors requiring significant crack repairs, moisture-barrier primers, or removal of existing coatings will cost more. Written fixed-price quote after on-site inspection. We do not quote epoxy floors by phone or from measurements alone.
