Floor Paint & Concrete Paint

Floors have it tough. We walk on them, drive on them, and we expect them to look good. Floor paints are a great way to breathe new life into a surface, giving it a fresh new look while also providing hard-wearing protection. Toolstation stocks a wide range of polyurethane and water based floor paints for a hard wearing seal.

Concrete Floor Paints

While painted concrete floors used to be most commonly seen in industrial or commercial properties, they have also become an increasingly fashionable choice in homes. Concrete floors typically need to withstand heavy footfall, impact, and vehicles, especially in industrial settings, so paints need to be tough, heavy-duty and abrasion resistant.

Garage Floor Paints

Designed to protect against oil, grease and petrol stains, garage floor paint can be used to refresh and protect stone and concrete floors. At Toolstation, you’ll find a range of colours, such as slate and tile red, with a satin finish, from brands such as Ronseal and Leyland Trade.

Driveway Paint

Driveways need to be durable enough for vehicles, regular footfall, and different weather conditions while also being welcoming so you’ll need heavy-duty floor paint. Ronseal floor paint is suitable for wood, concrete, and stone floors.

Patio Paint

Weather and UV resistant, patio paint needs to be attractive while standing up to the elements. Polyurethane-based floor paints are versatile enough to be used on concrete and wooden floors, indoors and outdoors. Whether you need a decorative, high-end finish or a hard-wearing, non-slip, waterproof seal, Toolstation’s excellent range of floor paints offers top quality at everyday low prices.

Why Use Floor Paint?

A quality floor coating does far more than improve appearance. It also:
- Protects against abrasion, impact and heavy footfall
- Seals porous surfaces like concrete to prevent dusting
- Resists stains from oil, grease and chemicals
- Improves cleanability and hygiene
- Enhances safety with slip-resistant finishes
- Extends the lifespan of the underlying floor

Choosing the Right Floor Paint

When selecting a product, consider:
Garage - Oil and chemical resistance
Workshop - Heavy-duty abrasion resistance
Patio - Weatherproof and UV-stable
Driveway - Vehicle load durability
Interior Concrete - Smooth, dust-sealing finish

What is the difference between floor paint and regular paint?

Floor paint is specially formulated to handle foot traffic, impact and abrasion. Standard paint isn’t durable enough and will quickly wear away.

Do I need to seal concrete before painting?

Most concrete floors should be cleaned and, if necessary, primed or sealed to ensure proper adhesion and an even finish.

How long does floor paint take to dry?

Drying times vary by product, but many are touch-dry within a few hours and ready for light use in 24 hours. Full curing may take several days.

Can floor paint be used outside?

Yes, many formulations are designed for exterior use on patios, driveways and walkways. Always check that the product is rated for outdoor conditions.
