The system

What prep systems are built for

Most floor failures start underneath. Primers key the coating to the slab, damp-proof membranes hold back rising moisture, and repair mortars rebuild damaged concrete — the unglamorous groundwork that lets the finish above it perform.

Where it fits

Where it earns its keep

Any floor going onto old, damaged or damp concrete needs this stage. Get it right and the finish lasts; skip it and even the best coating lifts, blisters or cracks.

The fit

Not sure what's under your floor?

Prep is the biggest cost driver and it depends on what's down there. Tell us the condition of your existing floor and we'll confirm the priming, moisture control and repair it needs.

Slab repair & priming

Fix the base, keep the floor

A damaged, damp slab prepared with repair mortar and a moisture barrier so the new resin finish would bond and last instead of lifting.

  • Situation

    Cracked, damp concrete unfit to coat directly.

  • System

    Concrete repair, primer and a moisture barrier (DPM).

  • Result

    A sound, sealed base ready for its finish.

FAQ

Common questions

Because it's what makes the floor last. Grinding, repairing and moisture-proofing a slab is labour-intensive, but skipping it is the most common reason coatings fail early.
Only if the slab has rising moisture — which is common in older floors with no DPM. We check for it before spec'ing, because coating over damp concrete leads to blistering.
We test the slab before spec'ing anything, usually with a relative humidity or hygrometer reading. That result decides whether a moisture barrier is needed.
Most cracks and damaged areas can be cut out and rebuilt with resin mortars. A full slab replacement is rare — and we'd tell you plainly if it were the honest answer.
Mechanically — grinding or shot-blasting back to a clean, sound, open surface. Chemical etching doesn't give a reliable key for industrial systems.
