What does epoxy flooring cost per square metre?

Question

Thinking about epoxy for the garage floor, it's about 18 square metres. Is it something a competent DIYer can do?

Daniel · Accepted Answer

For a garage, epoxy flooring is usually around £50–£100 per m², depending on the condition of the concrete and how much preparation is needed. A competent DIYer can do it, but the preparation is the most important part – the floor needs to be clean, dry and properly prepared before applying the epoxy. For 18m², I’d also allow for some extra material for wastage.

Darren · Answer

It’s not something I’d recommend doing if never done this before. The price can vary but for a basic probably looking at about £50-60 per metre onwards

Rhys · Answer

Can range from anywhere £1500-£3000 depending on the quality of the existing floor and how much prep work needs to be done for the desired finish and always use a qualified epoxy floorer as it's hard and can't be very expensive if goes wrong

We specialise in professionally installed resin flooring systems and have over twenty two years of combined industry experience.

DIY epoxy kits are available and can be suitable for someone with the right preparation and application skills. However, achieving a durable, professional finish involves much more than simply rolling resin onto concrete.

Correct mechanical preparation, moisture testing, concrete repairs and the correct choice and application of the flooring system are essential. Poor preparation can lead to peeling, bubbling and premature failure.

Our minimum installation value is £2,500, reflecting the specialist preparation, equipment, materials and expertise involved.

If you are considering professional installation and your budget is within this range, we would be happy to discuss the options.

Please feel free to share photographs of your existing floor and the finish you are looking for, and we can advise further.
