Got walls that look worse for wear? Maybe you’ve noticed paint peeling in your commercial kitchen, or stubborn stains that won’t budge no matter how hard you scrub. You’re not alone. Many Sydney businesses and homeowners are discovering that traditional paint no longer meets their needs. That’s where epoxy wall coating comes in—a modern solution that’s taking Sydney by storm. This isn’t your average paint job. It’s a tough, hygienic, and seriously good-looking option that’s perfect for our Aussie climate and lifestyle.
What Exactly Is Epoxy Wall Coating?
Let’s break it down in plain English. Epoxy wall coating is a specialised protective layer applied to your walls. Think of it like armour for your surfaces. It’s made from epoxy resin, the same stuff used on those super-durable garage floors you’ve probably seen.
Unlike regular paint that sits on top of your wall, epoxy actually bonds with the surface. It creates a seamless, waterproof barrier that laughs in the face of moisture, chemicals, and daily wear and tear.
Where Does It Work Best?
Epoxy wall coatings aren’t just for one type of space. They’re incredibly versatile. Here’s where they really shine:
- Commercial kitchens where grease and steam are constant battles
- Medical facilities that need hospital-grade hygiene
- Cool rooms and freezers where moisture is a nightmare
- Warehouses and factories with tough working conditions
- Wet processing areas in food manufacturing
- High-traffic corridors in office buildings
- Bathrooms and laundries in residential homes
- Garage walls that cop a beating from tools and equipment
The beauty is that epoxy wall coating works on almost any surface—old rendered walls, masonry, cement sheeting, even cracked or corroded walls that need a new lease on life.
Why Sydney Businesses Are Making the Switch
Traditional paint has its place, but it’s got limitations. After 12 years in the flooring industry here in Sydney, we’ve seen countless businesses struggle with wall maintenance. They’re tired of repainting every year or two. They’re fed up with mould creeping back despite their best efforts.
Here’s what makes epoxy different:
It’s Completely Seamless
No grout lines, joints and tiny cracks where bacteria, mould, or grime can hide. This is massive for anyone who needs to meet health and safety standards. Your cleaning routine becomes so much easier when there’s literally nowhere for nasties to hide.
Chemical Resistance That Actually Works
Spilled cleaning products? No worries. Detergents, oils, acids—epoxy handles them without breaking a sweat. The non-porous surface means liquids can’t soak in. You just wipe them away. Simple as that.
Built to Last
We’re talking years of protection, not months. High-build epoxy coatings reinforced with fibreglass matting create a surface that can handle serious punishment. It’s an investment that pays for itself by slashing your maintenance costs.
Customise to Your Heart’s Content
Who says practical can’t look good? Epoxy coatings come in heaps of colours and finishes. Want to match your branding? Done. Prefer a sleek modern look or something more traditional? Easy. You get function and style in one package.
The Real Cost Comparison
Let’s talk money. Sure, epoxy wall coating costs more upfront than a tin of paint. But here’s the thing: you need to look at the bigger picture.
| Traditional Paint | Epoxy Wall Coating |
| Repaint every 1-2 years | Lasts 10+ years with proper care |
| Frequent deep cleaning is needed | Easy wipe-down cleaning |
| Repairs for cracks and peeling | Seamless surface reduces damage |
| Ongoing labour costs | One professional installation |
| Mould remediation expenses | Naturally mould-resistant |
When you add up the repainting, repairs, and cleaning products over the years, epoxy actually saves you money. Plus, there’s the value of not having to shut down your space every year for maintenance.
Common Wall Problems Epoxy Solves
Moisture and Mould Issues
Sydney’s humidity can be brutal on walls. You’ve probably noticed black spots appearing in corners or behind equipment. Traditional paint is porous—it lets moisture through. Mould spores love that. They set up camp and multiply.
Epoxy creates a waterproof barrier. Moisture can’t penetrate. Mould can’t get a foothold. This is especially critical in areas like cool rooms, bathrooms, or any space with poor ventilation.
Cracked and Damaged Walls
Old rendered walls often develop cracks. Corrosion eats away at surfaces. These problems only get worse over time. Water seeps in, the damage spreads, and before you know it, you’re looking at costly structural repairs.
Epoxy wall coating provides a robust upgrade that restores integrity to damaged walls. It bridges over hairline cracks and creates a new protective surface that prevents further deterioration.
Impossible-to-Clean Stains
Some stains just won’t quit. Oil splashes in workshops. Food splatters in kitchens. Mystery marks in storage areas. You scrub and scrub, but they’re part of the wall now.
Because epoxy is non-porous, stains sit on the surface. A quick wipe with an appropriate cleaner and they’re gone. No scrubbing, special products and headaches.
Constant Repainting Cycle
If you’re repainting the same walls every year, you’re stuck in an expensive cycle. Paint deteriorates. It chips, peels, and fades. Then you’re back to square one.
Breaking this cycle is one of the biggest reasons our commercial clients choose epoxy. One proper installation gives them a decade or more of worry-free walls.

The actual installation time depends on the size and condition of your walls. Most projects take a few days. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront—no surprises.
During installation, we take care to protect your space. We’re clean, efficient, and respectful of your property. Some clients can even keep operating in other areas while we work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does epoxy wall coating last?
With proper installation and reasonable care, you’re looking at 10+ years of service life. Some applications in protected environments last even longer. It dramatically outlasts traditional paint.
Can epoxy be applied over existing paint?
Sometimes, yes. It depends on the condition of the paint and the wall beneath it. During our assessment, we’ll determine if the existing surface is suitable or if preparation work is needed. Proper adhesion is critical for long-term performance.
Is epoxy wall coating safe for food preparation areas?
Absolutely. When properly applied and cured, epoxy coatings are food-safe and meet health department requirements. They’re actually preferred in commercial kitchens because they’re so hygienic and easy to sanitise.
How do I clean epoxy-coated walls?
It’s incredibly easy. Regular cleaning with mild detergent and water is usually all you need. The non-porous surface means you don’t need harsh chemicals or aggressive scrubbing. For tougher marks, use appropriate cleaners recommended for epoxy surfaces.
What’s the difference between wall and floor epoxy?
Wall formulations are designed to adhere to vertical surfaces and resist running or sagging during application. The chemistry is slightly different to account for gravity. Both provide excellent durability, but wall epoxy is specifically engineered for vertical installations.
