What to check before you hire an installer
A garage floor epoxy coating is only as good as the installer who prepares the concrete underneath it. Two companies can quote the same "epoxy garage floor" and produce completely different results five years later, because the difference lives in preparation, materials and workmanship — not the marketing. Here's what actually separates a floor that lasts from one that doesn't.
- Public liability insuranceAsk to see the certificate, not just a verbal assurance. We carry $20 million in public liability cover and can provide it on request before work starts.
- A written warranty on the coatingA verbal "should last years" isn’t a warranty. We back every garage floor with a 10-year written warranty against delamination and workmanship defects.
- Diamond-grinding, not just acid etchingThe single biggest predictor of a coating failing early is skipped preparation. Ask exactly how the concrete will be prepared — grinding, moisture testing and crack repair should all be included, not optional extras.
- A real portfolio of local workAsk for recent before/after photos of Sydney garages, ideally in your area. Our gallery shows real project types, systems and suburbs so you know what to expect.
- A fixed-price written quoteA proper installer inspects your slab in person and gives a fixed price in writing — no hourly rates, no "we’ll see once we start" surprises.
Why Sydney homeowners choose Ironclad Floor Solutions
We were founded on the idea that preparation, not marketing, is what makes a floor last. Every garage we coat is diamond-ground to the correct concrete surface profile, moisture-tested, and structurally repaired before a drop of epoxy goes down — the same standard we apply to our commercial and industrial floors. Read more about our step-by-step process and the team behind the work, or see the coating itself on our garage floor epoxy page.
Every job is backed by a 10-year written warranty against delamination and workmanship defects, and covered by $20 million public liability public liability insurance. We service Fairfield, Cabramatta, Liverpool, Merrylands, Auburn, Parramatta and the rest of greater Sydney — see our full list of service areas.
What Sydney Garage Customers Say
Real projects across Sydney, from single garages to multi-thousand-square-metre floors.
“Dean talked me through the prep before he quoted, which no one else did — turns out my slab had a few cracks that needed proper repair. The team ground it back, fixed everything and the flake floor looks like a showroom. Two years on and the hot tyres haven’t marked it at all.”
Hiring an Installer — FAQs
How do I choose a garage floor epoxy installer?
Check five things before booking: public liability insurance, a written workmanship warranty, a preparation process that includes diamond grinding (not just an acid wash), a real portfolio of local work, and a fixed-price written quote from an on-site inspection. An installer who ticks all five is far less likely to leave you with a floor that bubbles or peels within a year.
What questions should I ask a garage floor epoxy installer?
Ask how they prepare the concrete (grinding vs acid etching), whether moisture testing is included, what the warranty actually covers and for how long, whether the quote is fixed-price in writing, and whether they carry public liability insurance. Their answers tell you more about the finished floor than any brochure.
Are Ironclad Floor Solutions licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry $20 million public liability public liability insurance and can provide certificates of currency on request. Every job is backed by our 10-year written warranty against delamination and workmanship defects.
How much does it cost to hire a professional garage floor epoxy installer?
Most professionally installed residential garage floors in Sydney cost $45–$150 per square metre depending on the system, with a typical single or double garage landing in the $2,000–$5,000 range. See our full epoxy floor cost guide for a system-by-system breakdown.
Is it worth hiring an installer instead of a DIY epoxy kit?
For most garages, yes. Hardware-store DIY kits bond to the surface of the concrete rather than being mechanically keyed into it, so they typically peel, chip or bubble within a season or two — especially under hot tyres. A professional installer diamond-grinds the slab first, which is the main reason a professionally installed floor lasts 10–20 years instead of one summer.
Which Sydney suburbs do you install in?
We install across greater Sydney, including all major western, north-west and south-west suburbs. See our full list of service areas for coverage near you.
