Concrete condition
New or clean concrete needs less prep. Old, stained, or dusty concrete needs diamond grinding or shot-blasting.
Coating system
Basic floor paint is cheapest but least durable. Two-part epoxy costs more but lasts 10–20 years.
Anti-slip aggregate
Adding anti-slip particles to the final coat adds £3–£5 per sqm but is essential for safety.
Number of coats
Most systems need a primer plus 2 coats. High-traffic areas may benefit from a third coat.
