Upgrade Old Floors Without Hacking or Replacing Tiles
We help customers upgrade old floors without hacking or replacing tiles by supplying the MICI Waterproof Epoxy System and providing practical product guidance. When used on a suitable existing surface, the system may reduce demolition-related dust, noise, cost and downtime.
Old tiles do not always need to be removed. With suitable preparation and correct application, the MICI Waterproof Epoxy System can resurface old tiles and create a cleaner, more uniform floor finish.
What Is the MICI Waterproof Epoxy System?
The MICI Waterproof Epoxy System is a floor coating solution designed for selected existing tiles, cement floors and porcelain tiles. It is designed to create a waterproof, durable and anti-slip surface for appropriate residential and light-commercial applications.
The system may be suitable for homes, bathrooms, shops, offices, showrooms and selected indoor or outdoor areas. Suitability depends on the floor condition, moisture exposure, drainage, preparation requirements and intended use.

What Are the Benefits of a No-Hacking Floor Upgrade?
A no-hacking floor upgrade may provide a cleaner and more efficient alternative to full tile replacement. The actual savings and completion time depend on the floor condition, preparation requirements and project scope.
Less Demolition and Disruption
Applying a suitable coating over stable existing tiles may reduce hacking, construction debris and disposal work. This can be helpful in occupied homes, shops and offices where renovation disruption needs to be controlled.
Customers who need guidance on moisture-related floor conditions may refer to our Waterproofing Specialist & Professional Expert Advice service.
Potential Time and Cost Savings
Avoiding full tile removal may reduce labour, disposal and replacement material costs. However, loose tiles, cracks, moisture problems or uneven floors may require additional repair before coating.

Cleaner and More Modern Appearance
A suitable epoxy finish can cover worn grout lines, faded tiles and inconsistent colours. It may create a more uniform and more seamless-looking surface without installing another complete layer of tiles.

Is Your Existing Floor Suitable?
The MICI Waterproof Epoxy System may be used over selected existing floors, but not every surface is ready for direct coating.
| Suitable When | Requires Repair or Further Assessment First |
|---|---|
| Tiles are firmly bonded | Tiles are loose or hollow |
| Surface is clean and stable | Floor has active moisture problems |
| Drainage is adequate | Cracks or damaged joints are present |
| Floor is free from oil and wax | Surface is heavily contaminated |
| Correct preparation can be completed | Floor is uneven or structurally unstable |
| Intended use matches the system | Area is exposed to heavy industrial traffic |
Glossy tiles may require abrasion, grinding or another approved preparation method to improve adhesion. Coating an unprepared smooth floor may result in peeling or poor bonding.
Is the System Waterproof?
The MICI Waterproof Epoxy System is designed to form a waterproof protective surface when the substrate is suitable and the product is prepared and applied correctly.
It does not replace repairs for structural leaks, severe cracks, active water pressure or damaged drainage. These problems should be assessed before application.
Customers sourcing related products may review our range of waterproofing materials in Penang.
Does It Provide an Anti-Slip Effect?
The system provides an anti-slip effect that may help reduce slipping risks in wet areas. It may be suitable for selected bathrooms, utility areas and sheltered outdoor floors.
Anti-slip performance still depends on the final texture, maintenance, drainage and contaminants such as soap, oil or algae. Standing water should be removed promptly.
For additional hazard marking on steps or edges, customers may consider our 2-inch Anti-Slip Black Yellow Floor Tape.
Where Can the System Be Used?
The MICI Waterproof Epoxy System may be suitable for:
- Bathrooms
- Kitchens
- Balconies
- Utility areas
- Covered outdoor spaces
- Residential walkways
- Offices
- Retail shops
- Showrooms
- Selected light-commercial spaces
Heavy-use areas exposed to forklifts, aggressive chemicals, machinery or continuous abrasion may require specialised heavy-duty industrial coating systems.
What May Preparation and Application Include?
A suitable preparation and application process may include five main stages.
1. Inspect the Existing Floor
The floor should be checked for loose tiles, cracks, moisture, contamination and uneven sections.
2. Clean and Prepare the Surface
Oil, wax, dirt and soap residue should be removed. Grinding, abrasion or another approved preparation method may also be required.
3. Repair Localised Defects
Loose tiles, cracks, damaged joints and minor uneven areas may need attention before coating.
4. Mix and Apply the Product
The product should be mixed and applied according to the recommended ratio, coverage, thickness and application method.
5. Allow Proper Curing
The floor should be protected from water, dust, traffic and impact until it has cured sufficiently.
