What We Paint

If it’s a concrete floor, we can coat it.

Floor painting is not one-size-fits-all. Floors need varied coating systems depending on the traffic, moisture, cleaning requirements, safety needs, and finish standard expected.

Choosing the right finish - a 60-second guide

Floor Coatings Explained

The right floor coating depends on how the space is used, how much wear it takes, what kind of spills or moisture it is exposed to, and how long you want the system to last.


Standard Acrylic Floor Paint

Standard acrylic floor paint is usually the entry-level option for lighter-use floors. It gives concrete a cleaner sealed finish, helps reduce dust, and improves appearance at a lower upfront cost than epoxy. 

This type of system suits residential garages, laundries, and other lower-demand spaces, but it will not wear as well as epoxy under heavy use or chemical exposure.

GARAGESLAUNDRIESLIGHT USE

High-Build Epoxy Coating

Epoxy is the stronger and longer-lasting option for most demanding floor environments. It creates a harder, more chemical-resistant, more abrasion-resistant surface that performs better in garages, workshops, warehouses, and many commercial settings.

 For many North Shore homeowners, epoxy makes the most sense in garages because it resists hot tyre pickup, oil, solvents, and wear much better than standard floor paint.

Polyurethane & Anti-Slip Systems

Polyurethane systems are often used where extra abrasion resistance or UV stability is needed, especially as a topcoat over epoxy. Anti-slip finishes can also be built into the system where the floor is exposed to wet, oily, or safety-sensitive conditions.

 These systems are especially useful for commercial kitchens, ramps, workshop areas, and any floor where grip and durability both need to be considered from the start.

Decorative Epoxy & Concrete Sealers

Some projects need more visual impact, while others just need basic surface protection without changing the look of the concrete too much.

Decorative epoxy systems such as flake and metallic finishes suit higher-presentation spaces, while sealers are a more subtle option where the natural concrete look is preferred.

What we recommend for different floor specs.

Residential Garages

For most residential garages, we usually recommend epoxy over standard acrylic if the budget allows. It costs more upfront, but it generally lasts longer, looks better for longer, and handles tyres, oil, and daily wear much more effectively.

Workshops & Utility Areas

Workshop and utility floors usually benefit from a harder-wearing system with better spill resistance. In these spaces, epoxy with anti-slip where needed is often the most sensible balance of durability and practicality.

Wet or Slippery Areas

For laundries, kitchens, ramps, and other wet or slip-prone spaces, we recommend anti-slip texture built into the coating system. The exact level of texture depends on the environment, because the floor still needs to be usable and cleanable as well as safer underfoot.

Commercial & Industrial Floors

Commercial and industrial floors need systems that are chosen around performance first. These spaces usually call for epoxy or polyurethane systems that can handle heavier traffic, staged installation, and the practical realities of keeping a business running.

Retail & Showroom Floors

For customer-facing floors, the finish needs to work visually as well as practically. Decorative epoxy can be a strong choice here because it gives the floor more presence without giving up durability.

Outdoor Concrete Areas

Outdoor concrete needs coatings that can cope with weather, UV, and moisture rather than just interior wear. We usually recommend exterior-grade non-slip systems that stay more stable in changing conditions and keep paths and patios safer after rain.

Our Process

Floor Painting Step by Step

Refined over 17 years and thousands of completed interiors. Consistent quality, minimal disruption.

01

Free Site Assessment

We start by inspecting the floor for cracks, stains, moisture, existing coatings, and general surface condition. That tells us what type of preparation and what type of coating system the floor actually needs before we price the job.

02

Surface Preparation

The floor is then cleaned thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, grease, oil, tyre residue, and any other contaminants that would interfere with adhesion. This is a critical step, especially in garages and workshops where contamination often sits deeper than it first appears.

03

Mechanical Preparation

Once the floor is clean, we mechanically prepare it using the method suited to the system being applied. That may involve diamond grinding, scarifying, or acid etching to create the right profile for the coating to bond to properly.

04

Crack & Surface Repair

Cracks, holes, spalling, and damaged joints are repaired before coating begins. These repairs are then smoothed back so the surface is more even and the final finish is not compromised by untreated defects underneath.

05

Priming & Application

Once the concrete is prepared, we apply the appropriate primer and then the selected coating system. Depending on the product, that may involve acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, anti-slip additives, or decorative broadcast finishes, all applied in the correct sequence and within the working time the system requires.

06

Curing & Handover

Floor coatings need proper curing time before the area goes back into full use. We give clear guidance around foot traffic, vehicle traffic, and full cure timing so the coating has the best chance of performing properly from the start.

Pricing Guide 2026

Floor painting cost guide.

Floor coating costs depend on the area, the condition of the concrete, the type of coating system, and the amount of preparation required before any product goes down.

These are guide figures only. The real cost comes down to what the floor needs before coating starts and how hard the finished system needs to work once the job is
