Garage floors painted professionally with durable coating. Seals the concrete, makes it easy to clean, looks smart. Quote-based pricing depends on size and condition.
### Transform That Dusty Concrete
Garage floors are usually **rough concrete that stains** easily, sheds dust everywhere, and looks crap. Oil drips, tyre marks, general grubbiness - it all soaks straight in.
Proper floor paint or epoxy coating seals it all, makes it wipeable, and transforms how your garage looks.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Painted garage floors are so much easier to keep clean. Sweep, mop, done. No more dust on everything or permanent oil stains.

### What You're Getting
This isn't a quick slap of paint - proper prep matters:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Waste of Time | |--------------|------------------| | Floor cleaned and degreased thoroughly | Painted over oil and dirt | | Cracks filled, surface prepped | Paint peeling off after a month | | Proper floor paint or epoxy | Household paint (doesn't work) | | Multiple coats, proper curing | One thin coat, used too soon |
**The difference:** Prep work. Garage floor needs to be clean and sound or the coating won't stick.

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Major job warning:** This is disruptive - garage needs to be empty for several days. Plan ahead, find somewhere for the car, move all your stuff out temporarily. **Colour choice:** Grey is standard and hides dirt. Light colours look smart but show every mark. Dark colours show dust. Choose wisely based on how much you'll clean it. **Anti-slip:** Worth adding anti-slip aggregate to final coat, especially if you use a pressure washer in the garage. Wet smooth paint is slippery as hell. **Damp floors:** If your garage floor gets damp (rising damp, poor DPC), coating won't stick properly. Might need to fix the damp problem first. **Hot tyres:** Car tyres heat up when driving. Hot rubber can mark or lift garage floor paint initially. Park outside for first week if you've been on a long drive. **Maintenance:** Sweep regularly, mop with mild detergent. Don't use harsh chemicals or a pressure washer on full blast - you'll damage the coating. Touch up high-wear areas every few years.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garage floor paint in Honiton
What's the difference between garage floor paint and epoxy coating?
Floor paint is cheaper and quicker - basically tough paint that seals concrete. Epoxy is more durable, chemical resistant, and professional-looking but costs more and takes longer to cure. For normal garages, good floor paint is fine. For workshops with heavy use, epoxy is worth it.
How long before I can park on it again?
Depends on the product. Basic floor paint - usually 24-48 hours for light use, few days for car weight. Epoxy - typically 3-7 days for full cure. I'll tell you exact timings for whatever we use.
Does the floor need to be perfect before painting?
It needs to be clean, dry, and fairly sound. Small cracks and imperfections are fine - I'll fill them first. But if it's badly cracked, flaking, or damp, we might need to sort that before painting or it won't stick.
How much does garage floor painting cost?
Single garage with basic floor paint - around £300-400 (day's work plus materials). Double garage or epoxy coating - £500-700+. Need to see the floor condition and size to quote properly.
How long will it last?
Good floor paint - 3-5 years before it needs touching up. Epoxy - 5-10 years depending on use. Hot tyre marks will eventually wear through any coating, but it still protects the concrete underneath.
