Paint & Epoxy Removal

Paint and epoxy removal strips old coatings, including epoxy, polyurethane, floor paint and sealers, from concrete and masonry back to a bare, sound surface ready for a new finish. Strip It Out provides paint and epoxy removal across the Gold Coast and Brisbane for garages, warehouses, retail floors and industrial slabs.

Coatings on concrete are designed to bond hard, so removing them properly takes the right equipment. We use diamond grinding and surface preparation methods to strip epoxy, polyurethane, paint and sealers without damaging the slab, then leave the concrete ground flat and profiled for the next coating or floor. The process is dust-controlled with HEPA extraction, and all debris is removed.

What affects the cost of paint and epoxy removal

Coating removal is quoted on area and how tough the coating is:

• The floor area being stripped
• The coating type and thickness: a single floor paint versus a built-up epoxy system
• How well the coating is bonded and the slab's condition
• The surface profile the next coating requires

We assess the floor and provide a clear, fixed quote before starting.

How long paint and epoxy removal takes

A residential garage floor is usually stripped and prepped within a day. Large industrial and warehouse floors are quoted on area and staged to suit the site. Dust-controlled grinding means surrounding areas stay clean throughout.

We remove coatings from garage floors, warehouse and factory slabs, retail and commercial floors, and driveways. Paint and epoxy removal pairs closely with our concrete grinding service and is often part of a warehouse and industrial strip out.

Strip It Out is a family-owned, fully licensed and insured team with more than seven years of coating removal and floor preparation across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. We hand over a bare, profiled slab ready for its new finish. Call for a free paint and epoxy removal quote.
