Epoxy Floor Coatings

An epoxy-coated garage floor is one of the most cost-effective upgrades a homeowner can make. It transforms a dull, stained concrete floor into a clean, durable, easy-to-maintain surface that looks professional and holds up to vehicle traffic, oil drips, and general workshop use.

Bare concrete is porous and absorbs oil, grease, and moisture readily — staining permanently and deteriorating over time. An epoxy coating seals the surface, makes spills easy to clean, and significantly extends the life of the floor.

The result is a garage that looks and functions like a proper workspace rather than an afterthought.

The longevity of an epoxy coating depends almost entirely on surface preparation. An epoxy applied over a contaminated, damp, or poorly prepared surface will delaminate — often within months. Our process addresses the floor properly before any coating goes down.

Floor cleaning and decontamination
The floor is professionally cleaned to remove oil staining, grease, dirt, and any existing failed coating or sealer. Contamination left in the surface pores prevents proper adhesion and leads to early coating failure.

Crack and chip repair
Cracks, chips, and surface defects are filled and levelled before coating begins, ensuring a smooth, consistent base and preventing ongoing substrate deterioration beneath the new coating.

Adhesion testing
Test patches are conducted before full application to confirm adhesion levels and that the surface is properly prepared and dry.

Epoxy application
The epoxy is applied in a wet-on-wet cross-hatched pattern using brush, roller, and spray as required, ensuring even coat thickness and consistent finish across the entire floor. Decorative flake or slip-resistant additives can be incorporated into the coating where preferred.

Solid colour epoxy
A clean, consistent finish in a range of standard colours. Hard-wearing and cleaning solution-resistant — the most common choice for residential garages and home workshops.

Decorative flake epoxy
Coloured vinyl flakes are broadcast into the wet epoxy before the topcoat is applied, creating a textured, decorative finish that also provides enhanced slip resistance. Popular for garages where appearance matters as much as durability.

Non-slip additives
Where slip resistance is a priority — particularly in garages with vehicle washing or wet workshop use — a non-slip additive can be incorporated into the topcoat.

Why Epoxy Over Other Options

Epoxy is the preferred coating for garage floors for good reason — it bonds directly to the concrete substrate, provides a hard, cleaning solution-resistant surface, and with proper preparation and application lasts significantly longer than paint or acrylic sealers. It’s also substantially easier to clean than bare concrete, making oil drips, tyre marks, and general workshop mess far less of an issue day to day.

For homeowners considering selling, an epoxy-coated garage floor is a visible upgrade that improves the presentation of the property at relatively low cost.
