Markings that wear at the same rate as the floor
We lay your lines into the system rather than taping them on afterwards, so they do not peel, lift at the edges or need redoing every year.
Solid color
Solid color makes your floor disappear.
One pigmented coat, sealed. No chips, no pattern, no movement. It reads clean and plain and it is the quickest system to put down. It suits storage rooms, warehouse floors, plant rooms and basements where the floor is not meant to be the interesting thing in the room.

When to Choose Solid Color Epoxy
When you want your floor sealed, cleanable and out of the way.
Storage and plant rooms
Nothing is on display and nobody looks at the floor. We seal your slab, the dust stops and it washes, which is the whole requirement.
Warehouse and back-of-house
Line marking works better on a plain floor. If you need bays, walkways or hazard markings, this is the surface we put them on.
A basement you have not finished yet
Sealing the slab now and living with it is reasonable. It can be recoated later once you know what the room is going to be.
Solid Color Epoxy Trade-offs
It shows more and it hides less. That is the deal you are making with a plain surface.
It shows marks
Every drip, tire mark and scuff shows on a single color, because there is no pattern to break it up. In your garage that becomes obvious quickly.
It shows the slab
A plain coat follows the shape of what is underneath. If your slab is uneven or patched, solid color will not hide it and flake would.
Every floor on this page is one we poured
How a Solid Color Epoxy Floor Is Installed
The shortest process on this site, which is most of its appeal.
Grind and repair
Identical to every other system. The slab is the job.
Primer where the slab needs it
We prime porous or thirsty concrete so your color coat sits evenly rather than soaking in unevenly.
Pigmented coat
One or two coats of color. With no broadcast step there is no cure and scrape cycle in the middle, which is why we get this system down quickest.
Top coat, optional but advisable
A clear over the color takes your wear and lets us renew the floor without repainting it.
Where Solid Color Is the Right Answer
When the floor's job is to be sealed, cleanable and unremarkable.
Warehouses and storage
Line marking sits better on a plain floor, and if you need bays, walkways or hazard markings this is the surface we put them on.
Plant rooms and back of house
Nothing is on display. We seal your slab, the dust stops and the room washes, which is the entire requirement.
A basement you have not decided about
Seal it now and live with it. We can recoat or flake it later once you know what the room is for.
Under equipment
Where your racking, machinery or shelving covers most of the floor anyway, a pattern is money spent on something nobody sees.
The Honest Downsides of a Plain Floor
Two, and both are the same property seen from different sides.
It shows everything
Every drip, tire mark and scuff is visible on an unbroken color. In a garage that becomes obvious within a season, which is why flake exists.
It follows the slab
A plain coat does not hide undulation, patching or a repair. If your concrete is uneven or has been made good in three different colors, a flat coat shows the history and a flake blend does not.
Which is why it is cheap to install and easy to regret
In a working garage. In a warehouse it is exactly right.

Line Marking, Safety Colors and Zoning a Solid Floor
The thing a plain floor does better than any other system, and the main reason you would specify it for a warehouse.
Walkways and traffic separation
Putting your pedestrian routes in a different color from vehicle areas is the least expensive safety improvement available on a warehouse floor.
Hazard and keep-clear zones
Around your panels, exits and racking ends. Specified while we are coating it costs very little; retrofitted it is a second mobilisation.
Bay and rack layout
We mark it out before your racking goes back in, which is far easier than marking around it.
Color Choice on a Plain Floor
Your color matters more here than on any other system, because there is nothing else going on.
Mid greys hide the most
Light floors show dirt, dark floors show dust. Mid gray is our default for a reason and it is rarely the wrong answer for you.
Light colors make a space brighter
In a windowless warehouse or your basement, a light floor measurably improves how the space feels under a bulb.
Safety colors are standardised
Yellows and reds for hazard, and matching those to what your business already uses is worth checking before the day.
Two colors cost more than one
Not much, and it is a second setup for us. Decide it with us at the quote.
Solid Color Epoxy in Plant Rooms and Utility Spaces
The rooms nobody photographs, and where we most often find this is exactly right.
Boiler and plant rooms
Sealing your slab keeps dust out of the equipment and makes spills visible and cleanable. A light color makes a windowless plant room genuinely easier to work in, which matters to whoever maintains it.
Server and comms rooms
Concrete dust is the enemy of your equipment with fans in it. A sealed floor is standard practice for good reason, and we can supply static-dissipative versions where your specification calls for one.
Storage and stock rooms
Sweepable, mopped, and marked out if your racking layout needs it. There is nothing to look at and nothing that needs looking at.
Loading areas and dock levellers
Heavy point loads at the edge and constant traffic through one line. We build solid color heavier to handle it, and your wear shows in a predictable strip we can recoat on its own.
Corridors and back of house
Long runs where you just need the floor clean, sealed and not worth thinking about. That is the whole brief and this system meets it without spending your money on appearance.
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.
Coatings we install
We install six systems, and most floors we put down combine two of them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One color, sealed and cleanable
For a floor whose job is to be unremarkable. It is the simplest of the systems and the easiest to touch in later.
Get my free quoteQuestions people ask
Can I add flake later?
We can recoat your floor, and we have to prepare the existing surface first. It is not simply another coat over the top.
Does it come in any color?
A wide standard range. Bring the color you want and Brad will tell you whether it is available in the system that suits the room.
Is it slippery when wet?
Smooth by default. We put grit in the top coat where your floor gets wet.
What is solid color epoxy?
A pigmented resin coat we seal with a clear top coat. No chips, no aggregate, no pattern.
Is solid color epoxy cheaper?
It sits at the same rate as flake. We get it down quicker because there is no broadcast and scrape cycle.
Does solid color show tire marks?
More than flake does. An unbroken color shows you every mark, because there is no pattern to break it up.
What colors are available?
A wide standard range. Bring the color you want and Brad will say whether it is available in the system that suits the room.
Can you put line markings in a solid color floor?
Yes. We lay them into the system so they wear at the same rate as your floor rather than peeling like tape.
What color should a warehouse floor be?
Mid gray hides most and is our common default. Light colors brighten a windowless space; dark ones show dust.
Is solid color epoxy suitable for a plant room?
It is one of the best uses we have for it. Sealed against dust, your spills are visible, and a light color makes a windowless room easier to work in.
How many coats is a solid color floor?
Usually a primer where your slab needs one, one or two pigmented coats, and a clear top coat. The clear is what lets us renew it later without repainting your color.
Can a solid color floor be made non-slip?
Yes, with grit in the top coat. It is what we normally specify for your warehouse ramp or a wash-down area in an otherwise plain floor.
