Workshop and MOT Bay Resin Flooring
A workshop floor is worn in concentrated places: tyre paths, turning points, lift approaches and the strips where grit is carried under wheels. KT Construction specifies the resin build around those routes rather than treating the whole unit like a domestic garage. The result is a cleanable working floor with grip and markings placed where the job needs them.
Where this works
- MOT test bays and vehicle inspection lanes
- Mechanical workshops and service centres
- Tyre fitting, detailing and preparation bays
- Dealership workshops and adjoining showrooms
- Marked walkways, lift zones and safety areas
How we install it
- 1Map the routes that do the damage
The survey follows vehicles from the door to the lift and records turning points, standing oil, wash areas and pedestrian crossings. Those observations decide where a heavier build or stronger grip is justified and where a standard coating remains enough.
- 2Test and mechanically prepare the slab
Moisture and pull-off strength are checked before the specification is fixed. The concrete is diamond ground or shot blasted, static cracks are resin stitched, and movement joints are reopened through the finished floor so they can still move.
- 3Build for hot tyres, fluids and grit
A specified polyaspartic or 100 percent solids epoxy is used where hot-tyre pickup would strip a cheap coating. Oil and brake-fluid exposure form part of the brief, while aggregate is sized to provide grip without making routine sweeping and scrubbing needlessly difficult.
- 4Phase bays and mark them last
Working workshops can be split into bays and scheduled outside trading hours. Lines, walkways, hatching and bay numbers are set out with the site team and added after the base system cures, so the final layout supports the way technicians and vehicles move.
Common pitfalls we prevent
Frequently asked
How long does an MOT bay floor last?+
The site already publishes a typical 5 to 8 year re-top cycle for workshops and MOT bays because grit abrasion is severe. The slab, traffic and cleaning method still determine the actual maintenance point.
Can you work around an operating workshop?+
Usually yes. We agree which bays can close, move through them in sequence and use night or weekend windows where required. Cure times are written into that programme.
Which resin handles hot tyres?+
The garage specification uses a suitable polyaspartic or 100 percent solids epoxy. Selection still depends on the slab and the time available before vehicles return.
Do you include MOT bay markings?+
Line marking, walkways, hatching, bay numbering and safety zones can be set out and applied after the main coating has cured.
Can a damaged old floor be renewed?+
Yes, if the slab is sound enough. Failed coating is removed, cracks and spalls are repaired, and the new system is selected after moisture and strength checks.
