A floor, not a paint job

What is metallic epoxy resin coating?

Metallic epoxy is a two-part resin floor coating with metallic pigments mixed through it. It is poured onto the floor and worked by hand while it is still liquid, so the pigments drift, pool and settle into marble veins, pearl clouds and swirls. When it cures, the whole floor is one continuous, high-gloss surface with no grout lines and no joints — and because the pattern forms as the resin flows, no two floors come out the same.

The reason it has taken off in Singapore homes is simple: it goes over what is already there. A tired tiled toilet floor or a dated kitchen floor can be transformed in days, without the hacking, rubble, noise and permits of re-tiling. We install these floors ourselves, using the Bling Resin Coatings metallic epoxy system.

Our 6-step process

How do we install a metallic epoxy floor?

The finish is the fast part. Most of the work, and all of the durability, is in what happens before the resin is opened.

01

Site assessment

We check the substrate — tile bond, hollow spots, cracks, grout and falls — and test for moisture, then agree the colours and effect you want.

02

Repair & preparation

Loose tiles re-fixed, cracks and grout lines filled, the surface degreased and mechanically abraded so the resin keys in. This stage decides how long the floor lasts.

03

Prime & base coat

A bonding primer, then a base coat in the ground colour, so the metallic layer sits on a sealed, even surface with no tile pattern telegraphing through.

04

Metallic pour & pattern

The pigmented resin is poured and worked by hand — spread, feathered and blended — to build the marble, pearl or swirl movement across the floor.

05

Clear topcoat

A protective clear coat locks the pattern in and takes the wear. UV-resistant where sunlight reaches the floor; anti-slip additive for wet areas.

06

Curing & handover

The floor is left to cure undisturbed, then inspected with you. We advise when it can take foot traffic, furniture and water.

Over your existing floor

Do you need to hack the old tiles first?

Usually not — and that changes what the job costs, how long it takes and how much disruption it causes.

Provided the existing tiles are sound and firmly bonded, the metallic system is applied directly over them. We degrease the surface, mechanically abrade the glaze so the resin can grip, fill the grout lines so they cannot telegraph through, prime, and pour. The old floor becomes the base of the new one. That means no hacking permit, no skip, no days of drilling for your neighbours, and a floor that is walkable again within days rather than weeks.

The exception is a floor that is already failing. Hollow, drummy or loose tiles are re-fixed or removed first, moving cracks are treated, and a damp substrate is dried out and its cause dealt with before anything is coated — because a resin floor is only as good as what it is bonded to. We tell you which of these applies at the site assessment, before a price is agreed.

Pricing, honestly

What affects metallic epoxy flooring cost?

Two rooms of the same size can be priced quite differently. This is why.

FAQ

Metallic epoxy questions, answered.

What Singapore homeowners ask before choosing a resin floor.

What is metallic epoxy resin coating?

A two-part epoxy resin floor coating with metallic pigments mixed in. It is poured, spread and hand-worked on site, so the pigments move and settle into marble, pearl and swirl patterns before it cures into a seamless, high-gloss surface. Because the pattern forms as the resin flows, every floor is one of a kind — the same colours never come out twice.

Can metallic epoxy be applied over existing tiles without hacking?

Yes, and that is the main reason people choose it. As long as the tiles are sound and firmly bonded, we clean and degrease them, abrade the glaze so the resin can grip, fill the grout lines and prime, then pour the metallic system on top. There is no hacking, no rubble and far less noise and dust than re-tiling. Hollow or loose tiles are fixed first — a coating cannot hold onto a tile that is not holding onto the floor.

How long does a metallic epoxy floor take, and when can I use it?

A typical toilet or kitchen floor is usually a two-to-three-day job including curing time; larger areas are scheduled on their own programme. The floor can normally take light foot traffic the next day, with a longer period before heavy furniture, standing water and everyday use. We confirm the exact times for your system and site conditions at the assessment.

Is a metallic epoxy floor slippery?

The finish is high-gloss, so on a wet surface it can be — which is why we specify an anti-slip additive in the clear topcoat for toilets, bathrooms, kitchens and any area that gets wet. The floor keeps its shine and gains grip. For dry living areas the standard topcoat is fine.

Will it yellow, scratch or peel?

Epoxy on its own can amber under strong sunlight, so for balconies and rooms that get direct sun we finish with a UV-resistant clear topcoat. That topcoat is also the wear layer: it takes the scratches so the metallic layer underneath does not. Peeling is a preparation failure, not a product one — it happens when a coating goes over dust, grease or a damp or hollow substrate, which is exactly what our preparation stage exists to prevent.

How do I clean and maintain a metallic epoxy floor?

Sweep or vacuum grit, then mop with water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh acids, scouring pads and dragging heavy furniture without pads. Treated this way the surface stays glossy for years, and a worn topcoat can be lightly abraded and recoated without redoing the metallic layer.

How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Singapore?

It depends on floor area, the condition of the existing tiles or concrete, how much repair and preparation is needed, the design — a single metallic tone costs less than a multi-colour marble effect — and the topcoat specified. We do not publish a flat rate because those factors move the price a lot between two rooms of the same size. Site assessments are free and you receive a fixed, itemised quotation before any work starts.
