Against granite and quartz stone
Poured resin has no seams and can be repaired in place, which stone cannot. Stone takes more heat and resists scratching better. If you put hot pans down without thinking, stone is the better buy.
Countertops
Epoxy Countertops Poured in One Piece, With No Seam
We pour your countertop as a liquid and it cures as one surface, including around the sink. There is no seam to trap anything, you wipe it down instead of scrubbing it, and it shrugs off the solvents that mark a laminate top.

Epoxy Countertops as Seamless Poured Surfaces
Hard, seamless and warmer to the touch than stone. We pour it over a prepared substrate rather than cutting and fitting it.
No seams
It goes down as a liquid and finishes as one surface, so you get no joint at a corner or behind a sink for anything to get into.
Metallic reads best small
The pattern that can look busy across a whole floor is exactly right on a countertop, where you see all of it at once.
It is a different surface from a floor
Your countertop takes heat, knives and standing water in a way a floor does not, so we do not simply pour a floor system higher up.
Epoxy Countertop Heat Resistance and Repair
Two things, and they are the honest limits of what we can give you.
Heat
Your hot pans go on a trivet, not straight onto the surface. That is true of more countertop materials than people expect, and you should know it before rather than after.
Repairability
We can repair a poured surface in place, which stone generally does not allow. That is a genuine advantage and it is worth asking us how.
Every floor on this page is one we poured
How a Poured Resin Countertop Is Made
We build it in place rather than cutting and fitting it, which is what gives you no seams and also what makes our preparation matter.
The substrate
We pour resin onto something: your existing laminate, plywood, MDF or concrete. Whatever it is has to be rigid, level and properly fixed, because any flex underneath telegraphs through.
Preparation and edging
We abrade the surface so the resin keys to it, then build and tape your edge profile so the pour stops where it should.
The pour
We flood resin across the surface and work it out. On a metallic top we move the pigment while it is wet, which is where your pattern comes from.
Flame and self-levelling
We draw the bubbles out of the surface as it settles. That is why your poured top comes out glass-flat rather than showing tool marks.
Cure, then the top coat
A clear coat over the top carries your wear. Countertops take knives, heat and standing water in a way floors do not, so we specify this layer for that.
What an Epoxy Countertop Does Well, and Where the Limits Are
Both matter. This is a surface with genuine advantages and two honest constraints, and knowing them beforehand is the difference between you being delighted and being disappointed.
Seamless, including at the sink
No joint at a corner or behind your sink for water and grime to get into. On a run with an inside corner that is a real hygiene and cleaning advantage over stone.
Repairable in place
We can cut back a scratch or a dull patch and recoat it in your kitchen. Stone generally cannot be, and this is the advantage people underestimate.
Warmer to the touch than stone
A small thing, and you will notice it every day.
Heat is the limit
Your hot pans go on a trivet. That is true of more countertop materials than people expect, and we would rather tell you than have you find out.
Knives go on a board
The clear coat is hard and it is not a cutting surface. Neither is most stone, so use a board.
Color, Pattern and Matching a Kitchen
The part you will most enjoy, and the part we get asked about most.
Base colors can be matched
Bring us a door front, a paint chip or a photograph and we will work the base to it.
The pattern cannot be repeated
On a metallic top your veining forms while the resin is moving. Two tops poured on the same day from the same tins do not match, which is the point of choosing it.
Seeing it before you commit
A sample board in the light of your own kitchen tells you more than any photograph, and it is worth asking for.

Epoxy Countertops Compared With Stone and Laminate
An honest comparison, including where the others beat us.
Against laminate
Resin is harder, seamless and far better looking. Laminate is cheaper, and you replace it rather than repairing it.
Against solid surface
Both are repairable and both dislike heat. Resin gives you depth and movement a solid surface cannot, and solid surface is more predictable.
Against concrete
Similar look, very different weight. We can put resin over your existing cabinets where cast concrete usually needs them reinforced first.
Where Poured Countertops Are Used Beyond Kitchens
Some of the best places to put this are not the one you are thinking of.
Bars and entertaining spaces
Your basement bar top is where metallic reads best: seen from above, under artificial light, and away from knives and hot pans.
Workshop and garage benches
A seamless, solvent-resistant bench top you can wipe down. It pairs naturally with a floor we do at the same time.
Bathroom vanities
Water and no seams. A good application and a small one, so our minimum usually applies.
Retail counters and reception desks
Commercial work where your surface is on display and takes hands rather than heat.
Caring for a Poured Resin Countertop
Very little, and there are two rules worth you remembering.
Trivet under anything hot
The single rule that matters. A pan straight off your hob can mark the surface, and that is true of more countertop materials than you would assume.
Board under the knife
The clear coat is hard and it is not a cutting surface. Cutting directly on it leaves marks that need polishing out.
Cleaning is warm water and soap
Nothing abrasive, nothing with grit in it, and no scouring pads. A bleach-based spray now and then is fine, just not as your daily habit.
Marks can be polished out
We cut back a dull patch or a light scratch and refresh it in place, which is your advantage over stone. Deeper damage we recoat.
It does not need sealing
Unlike granite. There is no annual maintenance product to buy and nobody should be selling you one.
Coatings we install
We install six systems, and most floors we put down combine two of them.
Flake
- Where it fits
- Garages and basements
- How it looks
- Vinyl chip broadcast into the body coat. Busier blends hide more of a working slab.
- Where we use it
- The garage floor we put down most.
Solid color
- Where it fits
- Workshops, warehouses, basements
- How it looks
- One flat color, sealed and cleanable.
- Where we use it
- Floors you need easy to clean, where we can add line marking.
Metallic
- Where it fits
- Attached garages, showrooms, countertops
- How it looks
- Pigment moved through the resin while it's wet, so no two floors come out the same.
- Where we use it
- Floors you look at as part of the house, which is where we get asked for it most.
Quartz
- Where it fits
- Commercial kitchens and wet areas
- How it looks
- Colored quartz aggregate for a hard, textured floor.
- Where we use it
- Floors where we have to meet a slip specification.
Polyaspartic
- Where it fits
- Top coat over any system, patios
- How it looks
- A UV-stable clear coat that cures in hours.
- Where we use it
- We use it for sunlight, cold weather and fast turnarounds.
Anti-slip
- Where it fits
- Pool decks, ramps, plant floors
- How it looks
- A coarse broadcast texture in the surface.
- Where we use it
- We put it where your floor gets wet or sits outdoors.
What's under your finished floor
We put down four layers, and each one has its own job. Scroll and we'll take your floor apart so you can see them.
- Polyaspartic top coatWe finish with a UV-stable, hard-wearing coat that takes your tires, your chemicals and the sunlight so the color underneath doesn't.
- Color and flake coatOur body coat carries your flake blend or metallic pour, so this is the layer you picked.
- Primer and moisture barrierWe work it into the opened concrete, and it locks everything above it to your slab.
- Concrete substrateYour slab. We diamond grind it back to bare concrete so everything we put on top has something to grip.
How your epoxy floor gets done, from first call to parking on it
Three steps, and Brad does every one of them himself. Most residential floors are finished in a day.
- 1
You call, text or send the form
Tell us the room and roughly how big it is. We'll talk you through the range and book a time to come and look, often the same day. Weekends count, and there's nothing to sign.

Brad reads your slab and you pick your finish
He checks for cracks, old coating and moisture, then measures up. You choose your flake blend or metallic against your own floor, not a brochure. Your written quote comes back the same day.
- 3
We grind it back and build your floor up
Your slab goes back to bare concrete under a diamond grinder with dust extraction. Then the primer, the body coat with your flake or metallic, and the top coat. You get your walk-on and park-on times with the quote.
Poured in place, with no seam
Resin goes down as a liquid and cures as one surface, including around the sink. It is wiped down rather than scrubbed.
Get my free quoteQuestions people ask
Can you pour over my existing countertop?
Often, depending on what yours is and how sound it is. Brad will look at it.
How long is the kitchen out of use?
Cure time is real and it is the constraint. Ask when he quotes so you can plan around it.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, your small countertop falls under a flat minimum job rather than a rate by the foot.
Is an epoxy countertop heat resistant?
Use a trivet. It handles warm, not a pan straight off your hob.
Can you cut on it?
Use a board. The clear coat is hard and it is not a cutting surface.
Is there a minimum charge for a small countertop?
Yes. Your small job or small countertop falls under a flat minimum rather than a rate by the foot. Brad tells you which yours is.
Will it yellow near a window?
Not with a UV-stable top coat, which is what we put on your countertop if it sits in daylight.
Is an epoxy countertop better than granite?
Different. Resin is seamless and we repair it in place; stone takes more heat and resists scratching better.
Can you do a bar top or a workbench?
Yes, and your basement bar is where metallic reads particularly well.
How do I clean an epoxy countertop?
Warm water and soap. Nothing abrasive, no scouring pads, and you never need an annual sealer.
How thick is a poured resin countertop?
The resin layer itself is a few millimetres over whatever it is poured onto. The finished thickness comes from the substrate and the edge profile, both of which are decided with you.
Can you do an integrated sink or drainboard?
We can do drainboard grooves and a sealed edge around your undermount sink. Tell us before we build the substrate, because it changes how we make the top.
Ready to stop looking at that floor?
Tell us roughly what you have and we'll come and look at it. The quote is free, there's nothing to sign, and you'll know what your floor costs before you commit to anything.
