Cost and estimates
It depends on the size of the space, the condition of the concrete, how much prep it needs and the finish you choose. That is why we price after a free visit: you get one price for your floor, not a range off a website.
Yes. We come to you, measure the space and look at the concrete, then give you a price. There is nothing to pay for the visit.
No two floors need the same prep, and a price from a photo would only be a guess. The visit is free, so the number you get is the real one.
For a garage or a working floor, a coating seals the concrete so spills wipe up and the floor is easy to clean. Inside a home, a poured floor gives a seamless look no tile or plank floor can. Whether it's worth it for you depends on the floor you have, which is what the free visit is for.
Choosing a finish
Flake is the usual choice for garages because it hides dust and adds grip. Metallic gives the poured, marbled look and suits living spaces and showrooms. Solid colors suit kitchens, corridors and work areas that need an even, easy-to-clean floor. We talk it through at the visit.
Both are hard, glossy coatings. Polyaspartic cures faster and holds its color in sun; epoxy is often used for the base and color. Read our guide →
Yes. You choose the colors; the pour decides exactly how they move, so no two metallic floors look the same.
Some epoxies can yellow in direct sun over time. That's why the top coat matters on a floor that gets sun, like a garage with the door open; we go over top coat options at the visit.
Smooth gloss finishes can be slick when wet. Flake floors have a light texture that adds grip, and grip can be built into other finishes; we talk through grip for your space at the visit.
The job
Most peeling and lifting in coated floors comes from poor preparation or moisture in the slab, not from the coating itself. That is why we look at the concrete before we price a job. Why epoxy floors peel →
It depends most on the work before the coating. A floor bonded to properly prepared concrete, with the right top coat for the space, lasts for years; most early failures come from poor prep, moisture in the slab or a rushed cure. Why epoxy floors peel →
It depends on the system and the conditions on the day. We tell you when it is ready to walk on and when it is ready for cars, before we start.
Yes. Choose "Patio or outdoor" when you book. Outdoor concrete needs a top coat that holds its color in sun and enough grip for a wet floor; we go through both at the visit. Epoxy or polyaspartic? →
Garages
Hot-tire pickup, where warm tires pull up a coating, usually comes from poor preparation or a coating that is not made for car traffic. Ask us at the visit which system we would put on your floor and why.
A sealed coating stops oil soaking into the concrete, so most spills wipe up.
Flake floors have a light texture that adds grip. Smooth gloss finishes can be slick when wet, so we talk through grip for your garage at the visit.
Homes
Yes. We have coated an upstairs bedroom and bathroom. What it takes depends on the floor that is there now, so we look at it at the visit.
Like any gloss floor, it can scuff under dragged furniture. Felt pads on chair and table legs keep it looking new.
Businesses
Yes. A restaurant kitchen we did in Ontario has a non-slip solid finish that the owner power washes often.
Yes, including warehouses. Tell us how the floor is used (forklifts, chemicals, foot traffic) when you book.
