Trusted Concrete Surface Preparation in Perth
Concrete may look strong from the outside, but every slab is different. Some floors are smooth yet contaminated with old coatings. Some are rough and uneven. Some have adhesive residue from vinyl or carpet. Others have trip hazards, surface damage, weak concrete, sealer residue or poor texture that must be corrected before epoxy, resurfacing or flooring installation can begin.
Our concrete surface preparation Perth service is designed to create the right foundation for the finish you want. We do not believe in rushing the first stage of a flooring project. Preparation is not just a quick clean-up. It is a detailed process that helps the new surface bond, perform and look better. At Rock Solid Concrete Resurfacing, we can assist with:
Our Concrete Floor Preparation Services in Perth
We offer a complete range of floor preparation and restoration services for residential, commercial and industrial clients across the Perth metropolitan area.
Our core service involves preparing concrete slabs with planetary grinders and diamond tools to remove contaminants, laitance, and weak concrete, creating a clean, sound, and properly profiled surface for your project. Whether laying epoxy, polyurethane, tiles, timber, vinyl, or polished concrete, we customize the surface profile for your flooring system.
Concrete grinding is at the heart of quality floor preparation. Using dust-controlled diamond grinding equipment, we grind the slab to remove old coatings, smooth out imperfections, and open the concrete's pores so new coatings can achieve a strong mechanical bond. Our concrete grinding and floor preparation service in Perth covers everything from single garages to warehouse floors spanning thousands of square metres.
Old carpet glue, vinyl adhesive, tile bed residue, epoxy coatings and paint must be completely removed before any new flooring goes down. We use purpose-built grinding heads and scraping attachments to strip away even the most stubborn adhesives and coatings, without damaging the slab underneath. No shortcuts, no residue left behind.
Uneven floors cause problems for every flooring type, from lippage in tiles to ponding in coated floors. We identify high and low points across your slab, grind down the high spots and, where required, apply self-levelling compounds to bring the entire floor to a flat, even plane. The result is a floor that looks better, performs better and lasts longer.
Old, tired and damaged concrete does not always need to be ripped out and replaced. Our floor restoration service brings worn slabs back to life with grinding, crack repair, patching and resurfacing, often at a fraction of the cost of new concrete. It is a smart, sustainable option for older Perth homes and commercial premises.
Key grinding creates a lightly abraded surface profile, acting as a mechanical "key" that boosts adhesion of coatings, screeds, membranes, and adhesives. It's a fast, cost-effective way to prepare slabs in decent condition that only need surface opening before coating.
Uneven joints, lifted slab edges and raised sections of concrete are more than an eyesore, they are a genuine safety and liability risk for homes, strata properties and businesses. We grind down trip hazards on paths, driveways and internal floors to create safe, compliant, even surfaces.
We help homeowners across Perth prepare concrete floors for new coatings, resurfacing and restoration. Whether you are upgrading your garage, improving your driveway, preparing a patio or renovating an internal concrete area, we can help create a clean and reliable surface. Our residential floor preparation services are ideal for:
- Garage floors
- Driveways
- Patios
- Outdoor entertaining areas

We understand that homeowners want a professional result without unnecessary mess, delays or confusion. Our team communicates clearly, works carefully and aims to make the process as smooth as possible.
Commercial and industrial floors need to handle heavier use, more foot traffic, equipment, vehicles, machinery and daily wear. Poor preparation can lead to costly problems, especially when the floor is used for business operations.

- Warehouses

We prepare concrete surfaces for epoxy flooring, non-slip coatings, resurfacing, sealing and restoration. Our team understands the importance of durability, safety and practical scheduling for businesses. We work carefully to prepare the floor correctly and support long-lasting results.
Our Concrete Floor Preparation Process
Every floor is different, so we do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess the condition of the slab, understand the final finish you want and prepare the concrete accordingly.
Floor Inspection
We start by looking at the current condition of the concrete. We check for old coatings, glue, uneven areas, surface contamination, cracks, weak concrete and other issues that may affect the final result.
Surface Assessment
We consider what the floor is being prepared for. Epoxy flooring, resurfacing, tile resurfacing, spray-on concrete coatings and floor restoration may all require different preparation methods.
Removal of Existing Materials
If there is old vinyl, carpet, glue, coatings, paint or sealer on the surface, we remove it where required. This step helps expose the concrete and allows us to prepare the slab properly.
Concrete Grinding
We grind the surface to remove imperfections, create texture and prepare the slab for the next stage. Grinding is often essential for epoxy floor preparation and concrete resurfacing.
Edge and Detail Work
Edges, corners and tight areas need attention too. We prepare these areas carefully so the finish can be applied more consistently.
Floor Levelling Preparation
Where the floor has high spots, uneven areas or surface irregularities, we prepare the concrete for levelling or further restoration work.
Cleaning and Final Preparation
Once grinding and preparation work is complete, we clean the surface and prepare it for the next stage of the flooring system.
Ready for Coating, Resurfacing or Restoration
After preparation, the surface is ready for the selected flooring finish, whether that is epoxy flooring, spray-on concrete coating, resurfacing, tile resurfacing or another treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions — Concrete Floor Preparation Perth
The cost of concrete floor preparation in Perth depends on the area size, the condition of the slab, the type and thickness of any existing coatings or adhesive, and the required surface profile for your new finish. Small residential garages naturally cost less than large commercial floors, and heavy adhesive removal takes longer than light key grinding. The best way to get an accurate figure is to request a free on-site quote. Call us on 0430 733 045, and we will assess your floor and provide clear, fixed pricing.
Diamond grinding is recommended by almost all epoxy manufacturers. It removes laitance, contamination, old sealers, and creates a surface profile for bonding. Acid etching is a DIY alternative but is inconsistent, leaves residue, and often doesn’t achieve the necessary profile, leading to peeling within a few years. Professional grinding ensures a durable epoxy floor lasting decades.
Most residential garages and small areas are completed within a day. Larger commercial and industrial floors may take several days depending on the area, coating thickness and level of repair required. We will give you an accurate timeframe with your quote, and we always plan our work to minimise disruption to your home or business.
Not the way we do it. All our grinding equipment is connected to industrial-grade dust extraction systems that capture the vast majority of dust at the source. Your site is left clean, tidy and ready for the next stage of your project.
Absolutely. Glue and coating removal is one of our core services. We remove carpet glue, vinyl adhesive, tile bed residue, paint, and failed epoxy coatings using purpose-built diamond tooling, restoring the slab to clean, bare concrete without damaging it.
In most cases, yes. Cracks, spalling, pitting and surface damage can usually be repaired during the preparation process, and severely worn slabs can often be restored through grinding and resurfacing rather than costly removal and replacement. We will assess your slab honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
We provide concrete floor preparation, grinding and resurfacing services right across the Perth metropolitan area, from the northern suburbs to the south, the coast to the hills. Wherever you are in Perth, we are happy to come out and provide a free quote.
Professional floor preparation for epoxy flooring involves assessing the slab for moisture, removing any existing coatings or coverings, diamond grinding the surface to the correct concrete surface profile (typically CSP 2–3), repairing cracks and defects, and vacuuming the slab to ensure it is completely dust-free. While DIY methods are possible, professional preparation using commercial grinding equipment is the only reliable way to guarantee the epoxy bonds properly and lasts.
