Built for the way you actually use the space.
Not every resin floor needs replacing. We survey failed installations, diagnose the cause — usually preparation or moisture — and specify a repair that lasts. From patch repairs and joint infills to full delamination remediation, we work on floors we didn't install as well as our own.
Repairs and remedial works on failed, damaged or worn resin floors and coatings.
Not every resin floor needs replacing. A blistered patch, a delaminated area or a failed joint can usually be repaired without lifting the whole floor — provided the underlying cause is diagnosed and fixed first. We survey failed installations, identify the root cause and specify a repair that lasts.
We work on resin floors we didn't install as well as our own. Most failures we see come from one of three things: inadequate mechanical preparation, uncontrolled substrate moisture, or the wrong specification for the environment. We tell you which, before we quote.
Key benefits
- Independent survey of the failure cause
- Written report before any works quoted
- Patch repairs blended into the existing finish
- Full delamination and blister remediation
- Joint, crack and expansion joint infills
- Fixed-price repair packages available
Our installation process
Every resin floor repairs project follows the same disciplined sequence. Skipping steps is where floors fail — we don't skip.
- Step 01
Survey and diagnosis
We attend site, take moisture readings, adhesion pull-off tests where relevant, and photograph the failure. You get a written report on cause before we quote the fix.
- Step 02
Isolation and containment
The failing area is cut back to sound edges with a diamond blade. Dust is HEPA-vacuumed as we go.
- Step 03
Substrate remediation
If moisture is the cause we apply a moisture-tolerant surface DPM. If preparation was the cause we re-grind and re-profile.
- Step 04
Repair build-up
The failing coat is rebuilt in matching resin — same primer, body and top coat as the surrounding floor, keyed into the existing edges.
- Step 05
Blending
For decorative floors we blend colour and effect across the repair line — metallic pours, flake broadcast or coloured screeds are matched by hand.
- Step 06
Top coat
Where possible we re-coat the whole panel to visually unify the repair. Where budget doesn't allow, we blend at a natural break.
- Step 07
Sign-off
Snag, aftercare and a written guarantee on the repaired area.
Where it works, where it doesn't
We're honest about specification. A system installed in the wrong environment will fail no matter how well it's laid.
Suitable for
- Blistered or bubbled epoxy floors
- Delaminated coatings
- Failed joint and crack infills
- Worn or scratched decorative floors
- Impact and chemical damage
- Floors we didn't install originally
Not suitable for
- Whole-floor failures caused by fundamental substrate issues (needs full replacement)
- Coatings that have failed due to substrate contamination that cannot be lifted
Advantages and trade-offs
Advantages
- Fraction of the cost of a full replacement
- Root cause diagnosed before works quoted
- Blends into decorative finishes
- Fast — most repairs installed in 1–2 days
- Written guarantee on repaired area
Trade-offs
- •Cosmetic blend is never invisible on some decorative finishes
- •Whole-panel top coat sometimes needed for visual unity
- •Doesn't fix underlying substrate issues if they're widespread
Durability and lifespan
A correctly diagnosed and repaired area performs as long as the original floor around it. Where repairs fail early it is almost always because the root cause was patched over rather than fixed.
We only quote repairs where we're confident the underlying cause can be addressed — otherwise we'll tell you honestly that replacement is the right answer.
Curing times
Cure schedule at 20°C. Colder conditions extend times; heated cures accelerate them.
| Stage | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Foot traffic | 12–24 hours | Light walking in socks or clean shoes once the top coat has gelled. |
| Furniture return | 48 hours | Light furniture, tools and shelving can be reintroduced. |
| Vehicle traffic | 5–7 days | Hot tyres and heavier point loads once the aliphatic PU top coat has fully cross-linked. |
| Full chemical cure | 7 days | Chemical resistance, wet cleaning and heavy wear reach design spec. |
Maintenance and aftercare
Same maintenance as the surrounding floor. If a top-coat re-seal was included, cure times apply before heavy traffic.
Inspect the repair edge annually for any hairline separation — early re-seal is cheaper than a second repair.
Aftercare checklist
- Follow original floor aftercare
- Annual inspection of repair edge
- Early re-seal if any hairline separation appears
- Record repair location for future reference
Colour, finish and customisation
Repairs are matched to the existing floor — colour, sheen and effect. On metallic and marble floors, blend is by hand; on solid colour we can achieve very close matches.
Where the existing floor has aged significantly, we may recommend re-coating the whole panel or bay for visual consistency.
Available finishes
- ◆Solid colour patch repairs
- ◆Metallic and marble hand-blended blends
- ◆Flake broadcast matched to existing
- ◆Joint and crack infills
- ◆Full panel re-coats

Resin Floor Repairs — frequently asked
Can you repair a floor you didn't install?+
Yes — most of our repair work is on floors installed by others. We diagnose independently and quote honestly.
Why has my epoxy floor blistered?+
Usually residual substrate moisture or contamination under the coating. Sometimes wrong primer. Survey confirms which.
Will the repair be visible?+
On solid colour, generally not. On metallic or marble it can be blended very well but not made invisible. We'll show you samples first.
How much does a repair cost?+
Depends on area and cause. Typically 20–40% of a full replacement for a localised repair.
Do you guarantee the repair?+
Yes — written workmanship guarantee on the repaired area.
