Overview
What Is epoxy flooring?
Epoxy flooring involves applying specialised resin coatings over prepared concrete to create a seamless protective surface. It delivers high durability, chemical resistance and easy cleaning, and suits homes, showrooms and retail, workshops, studios and offices.
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.

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.

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.

What our customers say
Demonstrated by our long list of Google Reviews, once you’ve had us polish your floor, you’ll never look at another concrete polishing provider.
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!

Can’t praise Steve enough for the job on my GT86. Tried a cheeky manoeuvre in traffic and ended up folding my passenger wing on the steel hinge of a stationary flatbed who’s driver couldn’t care less (can’t blame him, my fault and the …More

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.

I 100% recommend Grind and Shine.
Steve did an immaculate repair on a huge scrape on the side of my Nissan Juke. I really appreciated his help, his calm and the huge depth of experience that he brought to the situation – fairly priced too. Thank you Steve,Anne and the Grind and Shine team, you’re fabulous.

Posted on Google Honoria BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Indoor Mechanically Polished Concrete When work began, there seemed to be many technical difficulties, because the slab was so old, hard and had long cracks. But Tom and Rob worked tirelessly over the week, with heavy-duty precision and expertise accumulated over many years in the industry. They took painstaking care to ensure crisp edges and a consistent finish. These gentlemen can be commended on their respectfulness, cheerfulness and positive teamwork, too. Paul also impressed with his professionalism and accommodation for our changing schedules. He offered the most competitive quote and was easy to work with. Highly recommend Grind and Shine. I chose MPC because of sustainability and practicality. It turned out beautiful, too. The result exceeded expectations.Posted on Google Sophee HuntTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with the result. A huge thank you to Will, who completed the entire grind and polish process and went above and beyond from start to finish. My slab was far from straightforward, but Will's attention to detail, commitment to achieving the right finish, and willingness to adapt along the way were outstanding. He took the time to explain every step of the process, communicated brilliantly throughout, and genuinely cared about delivering the best possible outcome. What really stood out was how considerate Will was of the fact that I was living in the home throughout the project, with a young son in the mix as well. He carefully planned each stage to minimise disruption to our routine, kept me informed about what was coming next, and made what could have been a stressful process feel surprisingly smooth and low-impact. The polished concrete has completely transformed the house, making it feel modern, bright and full of life. Thanks again, Will. Your effort, adaptability and professionalism are greatly appreciated. You're not only a highly skilled tradesman but also a genuinely great person to work with.Posted on Google Emma KnightsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Will did an amazing job on our polished concrete floors. He went above and beyond to complete the job over two days! He was meticulous in the work he did and left the job site clean! Highly recommend him and the company.Posted on Google Tanya HartogTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Will did a great job and the customer service from this business is amazing. Thank you our pergola looks incredible. Just what we wanted!!Posted on Google Naomi PhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with the work from Grind and Shine Concrete. Thank you Paul and Alex! From start to finish, they were fantastic communicators and a pleasure to deal with... down to earth, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to create a space that not only looks beautiful but also carries such a calm, grounded energy. I recently held my first sound meditation event in the space and so many of my clients commented not only on how stunning the polished concrete floors look, but also how lovely the concrete feels underfoot. They’ve played a huge part in helping me create the grounded, welcoming environment I envisioned. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.Posted on Google Janine HusseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with this company. Will did an amazing job attending to detail, being really considerate and careful to not damage property along the way. Very good communicator, trustworthy and all round nice guy. After our previous, awful experience with concretors, Will and Grind and Shine have restored my faith. I love the natural look of our concrete now. Through this process we have discovered some beautiful colours that can now shine through. The job took longer than expected and was clearly a lot of work. Will persevered happily. I am really grateful for Will's efforts, friendliness, professional communication and respectfulness.Posted on Google Russell SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had Billy from Grind and Shine do our polished concrete floors throughout the whole house and we are very happy with the results. He is a good honest hard worker, he kept us informed throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Grind and Shine.Posted on Google Rebecca D'ArcyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love our new floor! Proof is in the photo! Would highly recommend!
