Epoxy floor repairs, removal and recoating
Peeling, blistering or worn coatings have a cause. We find it, remove what has failed, repair the slab and recoat it properly.
Why coatings fail
Common causes include poor preparation, coating over sealer or contamination, moisture rising through the slab, hot tyre pickup on thin products and wear beyond what the system was designed for.
Recoating without understanding the cause usually repeats the failure. We assess adhesion and the slab before recommending a patch repair, an overcoat or full removal.
What is involved
- Adhesion and failure assessment
- Removal of peeling or unknown coatings
- Crack, spall and edge repairs
- Moisture checks where indicated
- Overcoat of sound existing epoxy where suitable
- Full new system where required
Things to plan for
Illustrative imagePatch or full recoat
Patches rarely match perfectly in colour and sheen. We explain what a patch will look like before you decide.
Unknown products
If we cannot confirm what the existing coating is, removal is usually the safer path.
Moisture
Blistering can indicate moisture. Testing and a moisture-tolerant primer may be needed.
What helps diagnose a failed coating?
The visible defect is only part of the problem; an assessment needs to look beneath it.
See how we assess and prepare slabs, then send your project details.
- Photos of peeling, blisters, cracks and sound adjacent areas
- Any known product or installer details for the existing floor
- Where water, oil or vehicle tyres regularly contact the floor
- Whether a visible patch is acceptable or a consistent finish is needed
Can you just coat over my peeling floor?
Not over loose material. The failed coating must be removed and the cause investigated before a new system is specified.
Will a repair match the rest of the floor?
A local repair may remain visible against an aged or differently coloured coating. We discuss the likely appearance before recommending a patch or a full recoat.
Is blistering always caused by moisture?
No. Moisture is one possible cause, but contamination, poor adhesion or product conditions can also contribute. The cause needs assessment before choosing a repair.
Can a sound epoxy floor be recoated?
Possibly, if adhesion and compatibility checks support it. The surface still needs preparation and the new product must be suitable for the existing system.
