Paint & Epoxy Removal in Gold Coast

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.

Part of our broader internal strip out and demolition services — see the hub page for the Queensland regulatory framework, process, cost factors and contractor vetting checklist.

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.

Strip Out Services on the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is home base for Strip It Out. Since 2018 we have been clearing the way for renovations and fit-outs right across the city — Southport, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Main Beach, Labrador, the canal suburbs of Benowa, Bundall, Mermaid Waters and Broadbeach Waters, and the northern beaches through Runaway Bay and Paradise Point.

The city we know best

Operating from the Gold Coast since day one means we know its building stock street by street. The beachfront and near-beach suburbs are dense with high-rise and walk-up apartments where renovation is constant and body-corporate-aware planning is essential. The canal-estate suburbs — Mermaid Waters, Broadbeach Waters, Benowa, Isle of Capri — hold established waterfront homes now well into renovation age. And Southport, the Gold Coast's CBD and health precinct, anchors a steady stream of commercial work.

Residential and commercial, all of it

For homeowners we handle bathroom and kitchen demolition, tile removal, flooring removal, concrete grinding and full residential strip-outs. For business, the Gold Coast's relentless hospitality and retail churn — Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Southport especially — keeps us in commercial strip-out and defit work, clearing cafes, restaurants, shops and offices for the next fit-out.

The home-base advantage

Because the Gold Coast is our base, there is no travel surcharge and no waiting — local jobs get the fastest quotes and the prompt scheduling that comes with a crew already in the area every day. As a licensed, insured, family-owned team, we treat every Gold Coast property with care and leave it genuinely trade-ready.
