Epoxy Garage Floors
in Box Hill
Box Hill’s established homes often have garages that have never had a proper floor coating. Metal and Flake transforms bare or tired concrete into a clean, durable epoxy surface in under two days.
Serving Box Hill and Surrounds
Box Hill has changed faster than almost anywhere in the eastern suburbs and the garages reflect it. There is still a large stock of interwar and postwar homes on the streets away from the centre, many with original detached garages and narrow driveways. Alongside them is a wave of knockdown rebuilds and townhouse developments where the garage is a compact integrated single or tandem space, often with the laundry or a store cupboard sharing the same slab.
Compact garages are harder to coat well, not easier. There is less room to run a grinder cleanly into the corners, more edges and doorways to cut in around, and the floor is usually visible from inside the house, so a rushed edge shows immediately. Older Box Hill slabs bring the opposite problem: decades of settlement on reactive clay soil, which turns up as cracking through the middle of the slab or a noticeable fall towards the door.
What that means for your Box Hill garage floor
We treat edges and thresholds as part of the floor rather than an afterthought. Hand grinding around the full perimeter, a clean cut line at the internal door, and a properly sealed edge where the floor meets the wall are what make a small garage look finished instead of patched. On older cracked slabs we cut, fill and bridge the movement before the base coat goes anywhere near it.
- Hand ground edges and corners on compact and tandem garages
- Clean cut lines at internal doors and laundry thresholds
- Structural cracking assessed at quote stage, not on the day
- Suits original postwar slabs and new townhouse pours alike
My Box Hill garage is small and opens into the house. Does that change anything?
It changes the detailing rather than the system. A compact garage has proportionally more edge and threshold work than a large one, and because you see the floor from inside the house every day, the cut line at the internal door has to be clean. We hand grind the perimeter and corners where a machine cannot reach, and finish the threshold as a deliberate line rather than letting the coating run out and feather. The system and the guarantee are exactly the same.
We also regularly install across Blackburn, Mont Albert, Nunawading, and Surrey Hills.
Two Finishes. One Standard.
Every Metal and Flake installation uses the same preparation process and the same 7-year guarantee. The difference is in the finish you choose.

From bare concrete to finished floor in 4 steps.
We measure your floor, assess the concrete, and give you a fixed written quote with no hidden costs.
Diamond grinding opens the concrete surface for maximum adhesion. Cracks and spalling are repaired before any coating is applied.
Primer, base coat, your chosen finish, and a polyaspartic topcoat are applied in the correct sequence and allowed to cure fully.
We walk you through the finished floor, hand over your written 7-year guarantee, and leave the site clean.
Results that speak for themselves.
The floor looks incredible. They prepped it properly, the finish is perfect, and it was done in a day and a half. Could not be happier.
I had three quotes and Metal and Flake were the only ones who talked about surface prep in detail. That made the decision easy. The result is exceptional.
