How much does a garage floor coating cost?

It depends on the floor area, the state of the slab and whether cracks or oil contamination need treating first. We survey, moisture check and quote a fixed price with a timeline before any work starts.

How long does the whole job take?

Most residential garages are a few days including preparation and cure. Light foot traffic is fine the next day and vehicles return once the system has fully cured. We give the exact timeline up front.

Do you cover my area?

We coat residential garage floors across London and the South of England, working out from our Poole base.

Will it peel like DIY garage floor paint?

Tin paint kits fail because the floor is not prepared. We mechanically grind the slab, fix cracks, and bond a resin system built for vehicle traffic.

How long before I can park on it?

Light foot traffic next day, vehicles back on once the system has fully cured, usually within a few days. We give you the exact timeline before we start.

My floor is cracked and oily, can it still be coated?

Yes. We grind back contamination, repair cracks and prime so the coating bonds to sound concrete, not old oil.

Is it slippery when wet?

We add anti slip aggregate to the topcoat where you want it. Standard on ramps and entrances.

01 / service

When a resin garage floor is the right call

Bare concrete throws dust over everything.
Oil and tyre marks will not scrub out.
You want a workshop or gym floor, not a dirty slab.
You are planning to convert the garage.

02 / bare concrete

What bare concrete is costing you

A garage slab looks solid until it starts dusting, staining and holding damp. Preparation and resin stop the surface becoming the weak point.

Constant dust on cars and shelving

Bare concrete keeps shedding dust long after it looks dry.

Oil soaks in and stains permanently

Once oil gets into the slab, it is harder to clean and harder to coat.

Cold, damp and hard to clean

A sealed resin surface is easier to sweep, mop and use as a proper room.

Cracks spread untreated

Cracks need grinding out and repairing before the coating goes down.

03 / process

The finish is only as good as the slab preparation.

Survey and moisture check

Check the slab, moisture, cracks, oil contamination and access before quoting the system.

Grind, repair, prime

Mechanically grind the concrete, repair cracks and prime so the resin bonds to sound material.

Apply resin system

Apply the specified resin system in the agreed colour and build.

Anti slip topcoat and cure

Add aggregate where needed, topcoat, then protect the cure window before vehicles return.
