A few simple details help floor coating businesses give you a realistic estimate — and save a wasted site visit.
Measure roughly — a guess is fine
A single garage is often around 18 m² and a double around 36 m². Length × width is enough; nobody expects precision before a site visit.
Describe the surface you have now
Bare concrete, previously painted, tiled or sealed? Coatings bond differently to each, so preparation can change the price more than the finish you choose.
Mention cracks, oil stains and damp patches
You don’t need to diagnose anything. Photos of the worst areas help a business judge whether grinding, crack filling or moisture testing is needed.
Think about how you use the space
A garage that doubles as a gym or workshop may need a different system from one that only holds a car. Say what matters: grip, easy cleaning, appearance or durability.
Ask what the estimate includes
Indicative ranges usually depend on assumptions about preparation, number of coats and access. Ask businesses to state them so you can compare like with like.
