Epoxy Floor Coatings
Epoxy for garages, workshops and commercial floors - flake, plain or metallic, finished with a clear topcoat.
Epoxy is a resin based product rolled onto a prepared slab. Once cured it is chemically bonded to the surface and easy to clean - the reason it is the default for garages, workshops and commercial floors.
Every epoxy we lay is done the same way: diamond high-grit surface grind, moisture and soundness checks, primer, body coat, then a clear topcoat that protects the surface.
How we prepare the surface & why
Moisture in the slab is the single most common cause of coating failure. We test before quoting, and where readings are high we specify a moisture-tolerant primer instead of hoping for the best.
Garage floors also need their saw cuts and control joints treated correctly, otherwise the coating telegraphs every line within a season. Prior preparation is what allows us to lay beautiful epoxy coats that not only protect your surface but look amazing for years to come.
The Benefits of Epoxy Flooring
A finished epoxy floor resists oil, brake fluid, tyre marking and hot-tyre pickup far better than a painted slab, and it mops clean rather than absorbing spills. By getting an epoxy coat it protects your slab and looks better than a boring untreated surface.
- Residential garages and workshops
- Commercial back-of-house, rooms and storage
- Laundries, alfresco stores and internal utility spaces
Sub-categories
Flake
Flake of your choice is scattered to produce the texture you see. We lay it into the body coat, scrap the flake back and seal the surface with a top coat. This hides dust and marking, adds grip, and lets you tune the blend from subtle grey to high-contrast onyx.
Plain
A single solid colour with a clear topcoat. The most economical system and the cleanest look for commercial and utility spaces.
Metallic
Metallic pigments moved through a clear resin to create depth and movement. Metallic Epoxy is the most stylish option with multiple pattern, style and colour options.
Process
- 01
Diamond grind
The slab is ground back to open the surface profile. No coating outlasts poor mechanical preparation.
- 02
Repair and fill
Cracks, pinholes and joints are cut, filled and levelled so the finished floor reads flat.
- 03
Prime
A primer coat seals the substrate and prevents outgassing through the body coat.
- 04
Body coat and flake
Colour base goes down and, for flake systems, vinyl flake is broadcast to refusal, then scraped back flat once cured.
- 05
Clear topcoat
Two clear coats seal the system. Gloss, satin or an anti-slip additive to suit how the floor is used.
Colour chart
Indicative only - screens and lighting shift colour, so final selection is made from physical flake samples on site. Every blend can be laid over a white, ash grey or gun metal base coat to lighten or darken the finished floor, and custom mixes are available.

Common questions
- How long does an epoxy floor take?
- Most residential garages run over two to three days including cure time between coats. We give you a return-to-service date too.
- Will it lift under hot tyres?
- With proper preparation, your epoxy will not lift under hot tyres. A ground substrate, correct primer and a proper clear topcoat is what prevents it.
- Is a flake floor slippery when wet?
- Flake adds texture, and where a floor gets wet regularly we add an anti-slip additive to the final clear coat.
- Can you coat over an old painted floor?
- Not over the paint. Existing coatings are ground off - bonding to someone else's failing film is how coatings fail twice. We grind the surface back first to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
