    Sealing the floor with paint is a really good idea... concrete will always rub and turn into dust so anything that binds it together will help... they make special garage floor paint that lasts for years of normal wear and tare.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    So it seems like painting is going to be the answer. Thanks all. :)

    (btw, amazed this made the oldstyle tip of the week in the email..though I am grateful for everybody's help)
  • Having previously painted our floor we now have a problem as self levelling compound cannot be used on top of it. We have to get the paint off which is a nightmare..
    So just bear this type of thing in mind...
