Overview
What Is epoxy flooring?
Epoxy flooring is a coating system that bonds to your existing concrete to create a seamless, finished floor. It’s made from epoxy resin and a hardener that work together to form a solid coating over the prepared concrete surface.
But a good epoxy floor starts before the coating goes down. The concrete needs to be properly ground and prepared so the epoxy has the right surface to bond to. That’s where our experience in concrete grinding makes a difference.
Depending on the look you’re after, epoxy flooring can be finished in different colours, textures and styles, from simple solid finishes through to flake and decorative epoxy systems.
It’s not just about putting a coating over concrete. It’s about getting the concrete underneath it right first.
Surface Preparation
Using specialised grinding equipment, the concrete surface is thoroughly prepared to remove contaminants, coatings and imperfections. This process creates a clean and stable foundation, ensuring maximum adhesion and long-term performance of the epoxy flooring system.
Priming Surface
A high-quality primer is applied to improve adhesion between the concrete substrate and the epoxy coating. This stage helps create a strong bond while reducing the risk of future coating failure.
Epoxy Base Coat
The epoxy coating is applied evenly across the prepared surface to create a seamless and durable finish. This layer provides strength, protection and the foundation for the final appearance.
Curing
Once applied, the coating is left to cure under controlled conditions. This process allows the epoxy to reach its full strength and durability before the floor is ready for use.
finish options
We offer a range of epoxy flooring options to suit residential and commercial spaces, with expert advice to help you choose the right solution.
Frequently asked questions
Whether you're considering epoxy flooring for your home or business, it's natural to have a few questions. Here are some of the most common queries we get.
01 How much does epoxy flooring cost?
The cost of epoxy flooring depends on the size of the area, the condition of the slab, and the coating system chosen. Factors such as repairs, colour selection and access can influence pricing. After inspecting your site, we provide a detailed, transparent quote.
02 How long does the process take?
Most epoxy flooring projects take between two and four days, depending on the size of the space and the system selected. Preparation and curing times may vary, and we plan each stage to minimise disruption.
03 Is epoxy flooring slippery?
Epoxy can be tailored with slip-resistant additives to suit wet or high-traffic areas. We recommend appropriate textures based on how the space will be used.
04 Do I need to move all my furniture before work begins?
Yes, the area must be completely clear so the epoxy can be applied evenly. We recommend removing furniture and personal items before our team arrives.

Steve and his team at GrindnShine are approachable, friendly and all round good eggs.
Whilst flat out busy (always a good sign) they still managed to fit me in, with realistic timescales (which they stuck to) and kept me up to date with progress.
The finish and colour are amazing and exactly as advised. One completely happy customer here who will be returning and recommending to anyone who needs work doing. Thanks again guys, legends!

The team at Grind n Shine are absolute legends, friendly, proactive, and fun.
Over the past year, I’d taken my car to several other paint shops that never seemed to have the time for me or just messed me about.
One day I spotted Grind n Shine from the road, dropped in on a whim, and Steve had my bumper looking better than ever in no time at all. He even took the initiative to walk me through fitting the bumper in detail, even though I was doing that part myself, a genuine care for his customers. Even the way they’ve set up and decorated the workshop reflects the pride they take in what they do. Couldn’t ask for better service and couldn’t recommend them enough.

Steve and the team at Grind & Shine
Steve and the team at Grind & Shine were brilliant after my car was damaged in a pub car park. Not the biggest job,but they gave me a quote to give to the person responsible, then were quick and efficient in getting the job done. Definitely would recommend.
