How to Maintain an Epoxy Floor — Cleaning, Repairs and Recoating
Epoxy is low maintenance, not no maintenance. A few simple habits add years to the finish.
Everyday cleaning
Soft broom or dust mop weekly, then a mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid citrus and vinegar-based cleaners, and never use a steel-wool pad — they dull the topcoat and leave micro-scratches that hold dirt.
What actually damages epoxy
The usual culprits in coastal garages and workshops.
- Grit dragged in under tyres, acting like sandpaper
- Hot tyre pickup from parking straight after a long drive
- Battery acid, brake fluid and solvent spills left to sit
- Dropped tools and jack stands without a pad
Repairing chips and scratches
Small chips can be ground back locally, primed and patched with matching resin, then blended with a fresh topcoat over the panel. Flake floors hide patch repairs remarkably well.
When to recoat
Most residential floors want a fresh clear coat at the 8–12 year mark, sooner in a busy workshop. Recoating a sound floor is a light abrade and one clear coat — a fraction of the cost of a full rebuild.

Epoxy floor maintenance — frequently asked questions
- How much does epoxy flooring cost in Tweed Heads?
- Epoxy floors in Tweed Heads usually run $60–$120 per square metre installed, depending on the existing slab condition, grinding and moisture testing required, and whether you choose flake, metallic or a plain solid colour.
- How long before I can drive on a new epoxy floor?
- Foot traffic is generally fine after 24 hours and vehicle traffic after 5–7 days. Full chemical cure takes about a week in Tweed Heads's humidity, so we schedule the job around when you need the space back.
- Does the concrete have to be ground first?
- Yes — diamond grinding the slab is what gives epoxy something to key into. Roll-on kits applied over sealed or dusty concrete are the most common reason coatings peel.
- Are you licensed and insured to work in Tweed Heads?
- Yes. Munn & Co. Finishes holds an NSW painting licence and a QLD QBCC licence, and we carry full public liability insurance. Licence and insurance details are supplied in writing with every Tweed Heads quote.
