Joint & Spalling Repairs

Restore damaged concrete joints and slab edges before epoxy coating installation.

Concrete joints and slab edges are high-stress areas that often break down due to heavy traffic, movement, and impact. Our specialised repair systems restore structural integrity, eliminate trip hazards, and prepare the slab for long-term coating performance.

Concrete joint and spalling repair

What is Joint & Spalling Damage?

Joint and spalling damage occurs when slab edges chip, crack or break away. Common causes include:

  • Forklift traffic and heavy machinery
  • Slab movement and expansion
  • Failed joint fillers
  • Impact damage from pallet handling
  • Moisture ingress
  • Age and wear of concrete surfaces

If left untreated, this damage spreads and can cause coating failure. Early repair protects the slab and ensures your epoxy or protective coating performs to specification.

Why Repairs Are Critical Before Coating

Coating over damaged joints leads to:

  • Coating cracking
  • Delamination
  • Trip hazards
  • Premature system failure

Proper repair before coating delivers:

  • Restores load-bearing slab edges
  • Improves forklift ride quality
  • Prevents further deterioration
  • Creates a smooth coating substrate
  • Extends slab lifespan
  • Improves safety compliance

Our Repair Process

A structured approach to joint and spalling repair, from assessment through to coating-ready substrate.

Step 1

Damage Assessment

Inspection of joints, slab condition, movement and traffic exposure.

Step 2

Surface Preparation

Removal of loose concrete and saw-cutting clean repair edges.

Step 3

Structural Rebuild

Installation of high-strength polymer repair mortars.

Step 4

Joint Refilling

Application of semi-rigid joint fillers designed for heavy traffic.

Step 5

Grinding & Levelling

Diamond grinding repairs flush with surrounding slab.

Step 6

Coating Preparation

Final preparation ready for epoxy or protective coating installation.
