Poor Previous Installation
A poor previous installation shows up as peeling, bubbling, patchy adhesion, or inconsistent finish. Fixing it usually means removing the old material and starting from a properly prepared substrate. Every slab is different, so recommendations depend on an on-site evaluation — we do not diagnose specific floors from photos alone.
Common causes
- Skipped or shortcut preparation
- Wrong system for the environment
- Application errors and contamination
How we approach it
- Full mechanical removal of the failing coating
- Fresh preparation on the concrete
- Correctly matched replacement system
Preparation
- On-site evaluation of the concrete and any existing coating
- Moisture and adhesion testing where warranted

Frequently asked
Can any of the previous coating stay?
Only if it is confirmed sound and compatible. In most failed installs, everything comes up.
