How long does it actually take?
A standard double garage is one day on site. You stay off it overnight and you're
parking on it the next day. Larger or badly damaged slabs may need a second day —
if that's the case we tell you at quote stage, not on the day.
What does it cost?
Price is driven by square metreage and the condition of the slab. Send a photo of
your garage and rough dimensions and you'll have a written quote back in under
15 minutes — no site visit needed to get a number, and no obligation.
Can you go over an existing coating?
Sometimes, but usually the honest answer is no. If the existing coating is already
lifting, anything we put over it fails with it. We grind it off and start from bare
concrete — that's what the guarantee is written against.
Is it slippery when wet?
Not with a flake system. The broadcast flake and topcoat give a textured surface
with real grip. If you want more, we can add an anti-slip additive to the topcoat.
Will it handle hot tyres?
Yes — that's exactly what separates a proper system from a paint job. It matters more
here than most places: a car that's been sitting on the freeway through a 40-degree
February afternoon comes home with genuinely hot rubber. Hot-tyre pickup is the most
common failure we get called to fix, and it comes down to prep and film build.
Who actually does the work?
Our own vetted installers. Every crew on our jobs carries a current certificate of
currency, and you get one invoice and one point of contact — us.
Can I park on it the next day?
Yes. One day on site, you stay off it overnight, and the car goes back on it the
next morning. That timing depends on the topcoat system — it is not true of a
traditional epoxy, which needs days between coats before it will take vehicle
traffic. If anything about your slab means we need longer, you hear it at quote
stage rather than on the day.
Do I have to empty the garage first?
No. We move your gear and put it back — you don't lift a thing. Shelving and
anything fixed to the walls stays where it is and gets sheeted over. All we ask is
that you tell us in advance about anything heavy, fragile or awkward so the right
number of people turn up.
What if my slab is damp?
We moisture test before a drop goes down, and the result changes what we do. A slab
with moisture coming up through it will push a coating straight back off — that is
hydrostatic pressure, and no amount of surface prep beats it. If the reading is
high we tell you and we deal with it, or we tell you the floor isn't a candidate.
We would rather lose the job than write a guarantee against a slab we know is
pushing.
Why do painted garage floors lift?
Because paint sits on the slab instead of keying into it. A rolled-on coating over
a sealed or acid-etched surface has almost nothing to bond to, so it lets go —
usually first where the car turns, because that is where the tyre puts heat and
shear into the floor at once. Diamond grinding opens the concrete mechanically so
the coating has somewhere to go. That is the whole difference.
Does the guarantee transfer if I sell the house?
Yes. The written guarantee against lifting is issued to the property, not just to
you, so it goes to the buyer with the house. You get the document on completion —
hand it over with the rest of the paperwork.
Which parts of Perth do you cover?
Perth metro and the Peel region — north to Yanchep, south to Mandurah, east to the
foot of the Darling Scarp. We don't work interstate and we don't drive to the
regions. The suburbs we're in most often have their own pages:
Joondalup,
Butler,
Clarkson,
Ellenbrook,
Midland,
Canning Vale,
Success,
Harrisdale,
Baldivis and
Mandurah.
Anywhere else inside that ring, send a photo and we'll tell you straight.
