Epoxy resin floor repair for warehouses in the UK

Is your warehouse epoxy floor showing scratches, peeling or yellowing? At BECOSAN®, we repair epoxy resin floors across the UK, restoring damaged areas quickly and with minimal disruption to your operations. Our specialists inspect the surface, diagnose the cause of the damage and carry out the repair using industrial-grade materials designed to withstand forklift traffic, heavy loads and daily wear. We offer UK-wide coverage with flexible night and weekend work, phased aisle-by-aisle programmes to minimise shutdowns, and detailed surveys with transparent pricing.

Challenges

Common epoxy floor problems

Scratches and scuffs from pallet trucks and forklifts
Hot-tyre pickup and delamination in traffic lanes
Peeling top coats after repeated recoats
Yellowing or staining from UV or chemical exposure
Cracks, spalls and failed joints creating safety and hygiene issues

Note: For very small, localised defects, a quick patch may provide a temporary fix. However, when problems are widespread or recurring, the best investment is to replace the system entirely with something more stable and long-lasting.

Surface delamination

Support in bad condition

Wear and tear

Bubbles in the resin

Moisture problems

Patched areas without colour

Two possible routes

At BECOSAN®, we offer both wet and dry concrete floor grinding; two equally effective methods that achieve the same high-quality result. The choice between them depends on your environment, site conditions and health and safety requirements:

Route A — Recoating or repairing with epoxy

Useful only in isolated cases.
This route can be applied to small cosmetic issues but is generally a temporary solution. Frequent recoats increase downtime and maintenance costs.

Limitations: colour matching on aged coatings, visible blend lines, and the likelihood of bond or moisture failuresreturning.
Conclusion: fine for small touch-ups, but not sustainable for active industrial floors.

Informative mini-guide: how epoxy scratches are usually repaired

Clean and degrease → light sanding → apply repair resin → recoat surface.
This hides the scratch temporarily but doesn’t stop the same issue from coming back if the system itself is failing.

At BECOSAN® we don’t perform small epoxy repairs—we recommend removing the deteriorated coating and transforming the floor into a polished concrete surface that lasts.

Route B — Stop recoating: remove the failing epoxy and switch to polished concrete (for dry zones)

Ideal for: recurring delamination, annual recoats, heavy forklift traffic, or when downtime and maintenance are the main pain points. Why warehouses choose polished concrete for dry areas

No more recoats: break the endless repainting cycle
Lower total cost of ownership: less downtime, fewer materials
Dust-free, easy-to-clean surface for dry logistics areas
Slip resistance tested to UKSRG guidance, with adjustable gloss levels
Reduced tyre marking and micro-scratching typical of coatings
Professional appearance with no fragile surface film

Important note: Polished concrete is for dry zones. For wet, food, or chemical areas, a liquid-proof system may be more appropriate. We’ll identify these boundaries clearly during your survey.

Provide expert recommendations for a long-term solution.

Epoxy removal

Utilise specialist industrial grinders and milling machines to remove the epoxy layer.
Ensure a dust-free environment using high-powered extraction systems.

Repairs

Crack stitching, joint rebuilding, void filling

Polished concrete treatment

Apply the BECOSAN® System for a high-performance, low-maintenance polished concrete surface.
Improve durability, eliminating the need for epoxy coatings.

Quality inspection & guarantee

Conduct rigorous surface durability tests.
Provide a warranty for long-term performance and minimal maintenance.

We work by aisle, zone or dock to keep operations running, including night/weekend shifts when required.

Comparations

Epoxy recoating vs. polished concrete (in dry warehouse areas)

Epoxy recoating

Downtime

Short downtime for local patches, but significantly longer when recoating large areas.

Durability

Creates a surface film that can peel, scratch, or delaminate over time.

Maintenance

Requires periodic repainting and colour touch-ups.

Tyre marking

Frequent tyre marks, especially on glossy coatings.

Wet resistance

Good resistance when correctly specified and maintained.

Aesthetics

Uniform solid colour, with a risk of yellowing over time.

Polished concrete

Downtime

Work can be carried out aisle by aisle, with no curing time associated with paints or coatings.

Durability

Mineral-based surface with no film, eliminating the risk of peeling or delamination.

Maintenance

Simple neutral cleaning, with no need for recoating.

Tyre marking

Tyre marking is greatly reduced due to the mechanical, non-film surface.

Wet resistance

Recommended for dry warehouse areas only.

Aesthetics

Natural concrete appearance with selectable gloss levels.

We have worked with leading UK and international companies, delivering high-quality epoxy floor repair services.

SAINSBURY (Rugby, UK)

Floor area: 61,500 m²
Challenge: Following the departure of the previous tenant, sections of the warehouse floor were covered with worn and damaged epoxy resin coatings. The deteriorated surface, together with other floor defects, prevented the concrete slab from being refurbished and prepared for the next logistics operator within a very tight handover programme.
Solution delivered: Removal of the damaged epoxy resin coatings using controlled mechanical grinding methods, restoring the concrete substrate without causing unnecessary damage. Once the coatings had been removed, the floor was repaired where required and prepared for the application of the patented BECOSAN® concrete treatment.
Result: The deteriorated epoxy resin coatings were completely removed, exposing a clean and sound concrete surface ready for refurbishment. The warehouse floor was successfully restored and handed over to the incoming tenant within the planned 60-day programme.

PROLOGIS (Nottingham, UK

Floor area: 30,000 m² Challenge: After the previous timber industry tenant vacated the warehouse, sections of the concrete floor showed damaged and deteriorated epoxy resin coatings, together with heavy contamination, paint residues and general surface wear. These defects had to be addressed before the facility could be refurbished and prepared for a new occupier. Solution delivered: Localised repair of damaged epoxy resin floor areas as part of a comprehensive floor rehabilitation programme. Defective resin coatings were mechanically removed, the affected concrete substrate was repaired where required, and the surface was prepared for the application of the patented BECOSAN® polished concrete treatment, ensuring a durable and uniform industrial floor. Result: The damaged epoxy floor areas were successfully repaired and integrated into the overall refurbishment of the warehouse. The restored concrete floor provided a clean, durable and low-maintenance surface, enabling the logistics facility to be prepared for its next tenant to a high industrial standard.

FAQ

Epoxy Floor Problems: Repair - Frequently Asked Questions

Can scratches on an epoxy floor be repaired?

Yes, but usually as a short-term fix. If scratches keep reappearing or cover large areas, we recommend removing the coating and applying the BECOSAN® system to the exposed concrete.

Is epoxy better than polished concrete?

It depends on your environment. In dry warehouse areas, polished concrete eliminates the recoat cycle and reduces maintenance. In wet or chemical zones, a specialist coating may still be necessary.

How long is the downtime?

Epoxy removal typically progresses at around 100 m² per worker per day. Once the substrate is exposed, the BECOSAN® polished concrete treatment usually covers approximately 1,000 m² per day with a standard crew, and this can increase with additional workers where site conditions allow. Work is phased by aisle, zone or dock, so operations can continue with minimal disruption throughout.

Where can I find professional epoxy floor repair near me?

We operate across the UK with local teams covering every major logistics region—from the North West to the South East. Wherever you are, we can inspect your epoxy or resin floor and provide a plan to repair or upgrade it.

Is polished concrete slippery?

We test slip resistance using the pendulum test method (PTV), in line with UK Slip

Resistance Group (UKSRG) guidance, and tailor the finish to your traffic and cleaning routine.

Do you repair joints and cracks?

Yes. We rebuild damaged joint edges, fill spalls, and treat cracks before final polishing.
