Bare Concrete Wears Out and Looks Tired

Uncoated concrete floors deteriorate over time — they stain, dust, crack, and absorb moisture. In laundries, workshops, and commercial spaces, bare concrete creates hygiene concerns and an unprofessional appearance.

Many people try concrete paint as a cheap solution, only to watch it peel and flake within months. You need a professional coating that bonds to the concrete and delivers lasting protection — not a temporary fix.

We Connect You with Coating Specialists

Our network includes CBOS-registered contractors who specialise in solid colour epoxy floor coatings. They know the difference between coatings that last and those that fail — starting with proper surface preparation, which is the single biggest factor in coating longevity.

These professionals use commercial-grade two-part epoxy systems (not off-the-shelf paint) and apply them with the equipment and techniques needed for a flawless, long-lasting result. They serve residential, commercial, and light industrial projects across Greater Hobart.

How It Works

Getting connected with the right contractor is simple and free.

Surface Preparation

Diamond grinding or shot blasting creates the surface profile needed for the epoxy to bond permanently. This is the most critical step and separates professional results from DIY failures.

Epoxy Application

Your contractor applies a primer coat followed by one or two coats of solid colour epoxy in your chosen colour, building up a seamless, chemical-resistant barrier.

Topcoat Protection

A clear topcoat is applied for UV stability, scratch resistance, and enhanced durability. Your floor is ready for light traffic within 24 hours.

Epoxy Floor Coating Hobart FAQ

Epoxy coating is a two-part resin system (resin + hardener) that chemically bonds to properly prepared concrete, creating a thick, durable barrier. Epoxy paint is a single-part acrylic or latex paint with some epoxy added — it's much thinner, doesn't bond as strongly, and wears far more quickly. Professional contractors use true two-part epoxy systems.

A properly applied two-part epoxy coating with a quality topcoat typically lasts 10–15 years in residential settings and 5–10 years in commercial areas with heavy traffic. Longevity depends heavily on surface preparation quality and the coating system used.

Standard epoxy can yellow when exposed to UV light. This is why professional contractors apply a UV-stable clear topcoat (polyaspartic or aliphatic polyurethane) over the epoxy base. This topcoat prevents yellowing and maintains the colour for years.

In most cases, the existing paint needs to be removed before applying epoxy. Paint creates a barrier that prevents the epoxy from bonding directly to the concrete. Your contractor will grind or blast the surface to remove old coatings and create the profile needed for a lasting bond.
