How long does it actually take?
A standard double garage is two days on site. You're walking on it 24 hours after the
final coat and parking on it three to four days later. Larger or damaged slabs can need longer —
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. 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.
When can I park on it again?
Two days on site. You're walking on it 24 hours after the final coat and parking on it
three to four days later — the times we put in writing on your quote, not an
estimate. Ask any installer for the same two numbers in writing. 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 areas do you cover?
Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. In Victoria it's Melbourne, Geelong
and the regional towns; in South Australia it's Adelaide metro and the Hills, from Gawler
down to Aldinga; in Western Australia it's the Perth metro, from Joondalup down to
Mandurah — quote a Perth garage here.
The Victorian suburbs we're in most often have their own pages:
Werribee,
Point Cook,
Tarneit,
Hoppers Crossing,
Truganina,
Melton,
Caroline Springs,
Sunshine and
Williamstown in the west;
Craigieburn and
Epping in the north;
Berwick,
Cranbourne,
Pakenham and
Frankston in the south-east;
plus Geelong.
Anywhere else in those states, send a photo and we'll tell you straight.
